Pay attention. The Left used to only hint at what they intended. Now they're openly saying it. When the Left says what they want, believe them. They're completely serious.

What I find interesting is that he apparently doesn’t care about the print media at all——they can just continue spreading their lies.

They don’t care. They hate the Constitution. It’s always getting in the way of their newest plan.
