Have some respect for yourself

Do you know why 45% of citizens believe that the election was stolen? Because 45% of our population is that gullible to believe it. Because Ted Cruz said it does not make it true, but it does make it propaganda. The truth matters, and it will always matter. Still not a shred of evidence to the contrary, and there will not be. Still waiting for the My Pillow Guy to come forward? It hurts my brain to still hear you fools talking about a stolen election. Think for yourself, think rationally, or just think, period. Have some respect for yourself for goodness sake.

Tongue-in-cheek statement

Call me ignorant, naive, or stupid, but for the life of me I cannot see where Trump is saying to tear up the Constitution in what he said. I read it as another tongue-in-cheek statement that the Democrats are lying about to keep Trump’s reputation in question among the ignorant and stupid.

Idiotic nonsense

I’m so tired of these wack job contributors who think for one second that this past election was stolen. You sheeple don’t believe Trump encouraged the people that day, and expected that outcome to happen. Of course he absolutely did count on that destructive outcome. You who blindly and truly believe destroying the Capitol on Jan. 6 was OK. You who think attacking law enforcement officers at the Capitol was OK. You who think threatening to kill our representatives like Pence or Pelosi is OK. You who think that just because Trump wasn’t chosen by the people, that it’s OK to be a bully like Trump, stomping your feet, throwing a fit and destroying everything around you is OK. Grow up. Don’t continue to be a sore loser, embarrassing yourselves. Seriously, stop your idiotic nonsense.

Careful what you wish for

All of the Trump supporters must be head over heels about him wanting to suspend our nation’s Constitution, well good for you. That may serve to solve one national problem. Your Second Amendment is in the Constitution. Hitler suspended Germanys’ Constitution, allowing him to seize guns from the citizens and begin the Holocaust. He had his storm troopers round up citizens he considered a threat to his Nazi ideals, the majority being Jews, and began a campaign of massacres that still shocks the human conscience. Also included, in his citizen roundup were those who were physically or mentally disabled. That last group pretty much sums up the Trump supporters. Be careful what you wish for.

Out-of-control crime rates

So Pritzker now wants to join the illegitimate socialist puppet in banning so called-assault weapons, despite out-of-control crime rates in Illinois and the rest of the country. What are they going to do about the 20-plus million assault rifles that are already in the hands of our citizens? The first thing that any totalitarian regime does is to confiscate weapons so that the citizens cannot defend themselves. Our Second Amendment says that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged. Don’t know why the Supreme Court is allowing all this gun control legislation to stand.
