You know the old saying that goes “trust the voters to do the right thing”? Well, its BS. Detroit, Chicago, California, etc, etc, etc, are examples of what happens when an area is overwhelmed with ignorant voters who increasingly don’t even share our culture.

This country is in deep trouble.

He’s a piker and is going to have to get up to speed fast. His new colleagues steal trillions from Americans every year. Good luck, buddy. You’re now running with the big boys.
