"It's just New York City"
Tonight a 15-term Colorado incumbent just lost to a Hasan Piker backed DSA member born in Ethiopia
Oh, and she thinks we deserved 9/11
The Republican Party will be the undoing of this country in the face of the Democrats going FULL Communist.
@ScottPresler let them expose THEMSELVES in South Dakota.
🚨 TEACH REAL AMERICAN HISTORY OR LOSE THE COUNTRY: We’re at a breaking point. Too many Americans, especially the young, have no clue what makes this nation exceptional.
Polls show only 53% are proud to be American. Gen Z? Half think understanding our history and founding principles isn’t even important. Democrats at rock bottom.
We grew up with civics, G.I. Joe duty, Little House self-reliance, Schoolhouse Rock, Top Gun, Apollo 13, celebrating achievement, not just obsessing over sins.
Our principles are what ended slavery, segregation, and pushed civil rights.
Schools stopped teaching the good with the bad. Now radicals want to erase Western civilization entirely.
If we don’t pass on the truth to the next generation, we won’t have another 250 years.
Proud patriots, time to fight for real history education!
🌵 Always remember:
Ruben Gallegos ran for Senator in Arizona calling the border wall stupid & he opposed closing the border 🤣
And he won 🤣
Arizona is corrupt & rigged
