In 2026 America, we are being sold a brutish, ugly view of the world. We are told that our only protection comes in dollar bills. We are told evil people are trying to take what's rightfully ours.

Had enough "winning" yet? How much more blood must be shed before the blinders come off and the roughly one third of US citizens who support this Reich open their eyes?
I'm losing track of how many countries a man livid he wasn't given the Nobel Peace Prize has illegally bombed.
Iran. Venezuela. Nigeria. Afghanistan. Iraq. Libya. Pakistan. Somalia. Syria. Yemen.
Not to mention threatening to annex Greenland and Canada and invade Panama.
