Impeccable tech
Google AI summary results for "immortan Joe inspirational quotes" reading: "Immortan Joe, the primary antagonist in "Mad Max: Fury Road," is not known for inspirational quotes in the traditional sense. However, he does deliver some memorable, albeit sinister, lines. One notable quote is: "I am your redeemer. It is by my hand you will rise from the ashes of this world," according to IMDb. This quote, while seemingly benevolent, is a manipulative tactic to exert control over his followers. Another quote, highlighting his control over resources, is: "Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence!". This quote, from Tumblr, emphasizes his control over essential resources and his cynical view of dependence."

She repeatedly votes with Republicans, including for Trump's nominees. She also voted for letting crypto scams run wild and recalling California's EPA waiver to set its own emissions standards. So whatever she says, the hot dog heiress's actual voting sucks.

You really need to make a better case than this.
According to the polling memo: “A majority of likely voters support impeaching Trump (52%), including a majority of independents (55%). Support is also strong among Democratic voters (84%), and a fifth of Republican voters (20%) also support this move.” The polling memo further highlights: “Support for impeachment is now on par with the levels seen during the two most recent impeachment proceedings – even before a full public case has been presented.”

She seems to have decided she's a ride-or-die:
Jessica Ramos, a state senator and mayoral candidate who endorsed Mr. Cuomo, said after she arrived that the former governor’s campaign was “feeling good” about the high voter turnout on Primary Day, especially given the extreme heat. Ms. Ramos said that the election would “define what being a Democrat means.” Just moments before Mr. Cuomo took the stage, Ms. Ramos remained optimistic. “The results we’ll see tonight paint a very specific picture that perhaps does not tell the whole story,” she said.

Black Panthers posed with guns while protesting. In 1967, 30 members of the Black Panthers protested on the steps of the California statehouse armed with .357 Magnums, 12-gauge shotguns and .45-caliber pistols and announced, “The time has come for Black people to arm themselves.”
