Never has anything that Trump and Repubs "taken over" ever produced a thing positive. Specifically, one party "taking over" elections around the country does no one any good except billionaires.

Canadian translation for "2A enthusiasts" is "gun nuts"

Well well well. Looks like they were correct. They just lied about who it was.

And why should people stop working once they're dead? Instead of burials, just think how much money could be generated by renting out their corpses as Halloween decor.
They want us working earlier and til we die to pay for their tax cuts for the rich. Supervillains.

Accuse me of catastrophizing, but "‘We want to take over" is about as clear a warning as you will ever get.

Remember the hypocrisy of Danielle Smith telling Albertans we can't afford net zero and the power grid would be at risk if forced to adopt EV's. A year later she's building out and pushing data centres which would consume more power than any EV's ever sold and used in Alberta. #abpoli

Google is not your friend; it's your pimp.
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.
