To my dying day I will regard it to be the blackest of marks that the US electorate conferred upon one of the worst human beings to have ever lived the US presidency, not once but twice. 🇨🇦
I am trying to figure out who they are talking about here...
We won’t let him. Together we will claim our right to vote.

So much more than a Country Music Superstar. Philanthropist, humanitarian, defender of diversity & fierce advocate for the working class, she helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine & donated 332+ million books to children. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.♥️ #RIP
