But some, who escaped repressive regimes to come to our shores, fear the US is now heading in the same dangerous direction as the countries they left behind.

Authoritarianism etc are passé. Chaotic horror and indiscriminate death will mark the coming age. Horror undreamed of, undirected, unending and certain.

Dominion stole Venezueala’s election to get their downward socialist spiral started.

Deja vu all over again.
