Protester: “He’s just everything that is wrong in this kind of society, and he’s here. It’s just not right. I don’t know why we welcomed him here… We are a peaceful nation and he’s coming over here with blood on his hands from all the wars he’s doing.” 📍Ireland

All the polling from multiple pollsters, including GOP ones, points to a massive Democratic wave in the Midterms. If it doesn’t happen there will have been shenanigans that should get people out on the streets. Don’t be diverted by people who try to dismiss it as a conspiracy theory.
