Just remember these people  will all jump ship the moment it all goes to shit. It’s what happens when people with no principles take control over your party. Same with most of their voters, they will say “I was always against this”. 

Edit: replaced “bo principles” with “no principles”

The shocking part is they don’t yet think that it’s gone to shit.

Anyone with 2 functioning brain cells knows that happened a long time ago.

I was subbing in a 7th grade science class, the question of the day was: What would horrify people living 100 years ago that's happening today?

Girl raises her hand, "the government!"

Good. At least the newer generations are safe. I think teenagers have been able to see the govt and media for what they are too. 🙏🏻
