This is because Nate Silver has 300K subscribers on Substack and Heather Cox Richardson has 2.7M. Mediocre men CAN'T STAND successful women, and even blame them for their own failures. Pathetic.

I hope this is a mistake. 20 people have reportedly been shot at Brown University. If y'all think this kind of insanity is the price of freedom, you're a fucking moron. The same lunatics who believe this are the fascists who cheer on the Trump regime's Nazification of America.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!
