The escalating prevalence of domestic terrorism in our schools and churches and throughout our nation is creating an enormous population of survivors with PTSD.

As this clip shows, Republicans will not hesitate to use fascist tactics to retain their monopoly.

This clip is from an article by Matthew Chapman on ShareBlue Media:
