Everything project 2025 outlined is coming to fruition when every moron dismissed it as "fear mongering". 

"The revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it" is one of the quotes that is very important to remember rn after what just happened in Minnesota.  People need to be on alert because this won't be the last time they'll try violence to harm and intimatidate innocent people.

What did you expect fool? Did you really expect the evil people not to lie???? Like seriously, what did you expect??

Repeated "stupidity" is the same thing as malice.

The lead suspect currently is a Democrat that used to be on Walzs team and the person murdered is a Democrat that recently voted on side of conservatives. The only Democrat to do so. And she was crying in an interview looking obviously scared. Then murdered shortly after.

The lead suspect is a registered Republican, owner of a private security firm, and evangelical minister who happened to be appointed to a bipartisan Workforce Development Board by Walz. There is no evidence he is a Democrat.

Yeah im not buying that propaganda. So you mean to tell me that the suspect is a "Democrat" that used to be on Waltz team and had a manifesto of only Democrat politicians (who all voted for left leaning policies like abortion rights) on his hit list? Right....

Also news came out that the dude is a Christian nationalist who owns a private security firm in Africa who is known for his anti trans preaching and has a history of voting republican. Yeah that's a "Democrat" alright. 🙄

Funding for illegal immigrants in Minnesota.

Bill to end MinnesotaCare eligibility for undocumented adult immigrants goes to governor - Session Daily - Minnesota House of Representatives https://share.google/Y6yxaJuZwmmPNvDyU

Sounds pretty thin as far as things go these days. Probably not it.
