Starting to question whether a political system that elects a Donald Trump can be saved or is worthh saving. Every day I ask myself -- how could so many people be so stupid? And I do think there was vote count manipulation, but that last election should not have even been close enough to allow it

Note that Roger Stone refers to Prospera, the Network State city in Honduras, as a "freedom city."
Trump wants to build ten of these cities on federal land, and Stone makes it clear that these fascist cities are, indeed, the Network State.

There are no repercussions for their illegal behavior, so they will keep at it until that changes.
