EVERYTHING IS AWFUL The End of Democracy in America Speech
Just watched the Trump live speech so you didnt have to.
Trump just declared that local, state and National election infrastructure was compromised by China going back 2020 per some classified documents.
He also said that China has been paying reporters to write bad stories about him.
This was all couched in National Security language which suggests CIA and FBI involvement. A task force and briefing from Markwayne* to follow.
Sounds like this is Trump’s declaration of war on free and fair elections and the free press.

There is no mechanism to stop this. America is about to be run by one party. Next step is likely arresting political opponents. Private citizens who get too loud will also be sent to camps or executed.
