26. We are not dropping out

Fri Jan 17, 2025, 12:34 PM

Why obsess over everything that crazy asshole says and does, many of us are working locally with our party. But looking at American Pravda will not move us forward. Protesting in the streets will not help, might make you feel good for a day. We will have to let this bad movie play out and take care of our health and homestead.
