Next up:

The government of the US doing the same thing to patriots to the cheers of Leftists that would pay big money to be in that stadium.

Goebbels and the current US media were (are) pretty good at stirring up hate.

Headline from the near future”

United States executes 80 people....

For reading the constitution, being christian, not supporting the gay agenda and listening to non state approved media outlets.

“Which is it, eight or eighty?”

If you read the article, you will find out that the executions were in several cities.

There have been reports of executions in Islamist countries, such as Somalia, for people watching TV or playing video games.
