The fix is in for 2024 election

The fix is in. The vendetta by the current Administration is an unprecedented, fabricated and calculated attempt to keep their biggest threat and Republican front-runner off the ballot before the 2024 Elections. The un-Justice Department, mainstream media, and Big Tech in stacked-deck Democrat venues are all cheering Donald Trump’s mug shot while ignoring multiplied millions poured into the Biden coffers. Somehow policy-driven droves of illegal immigrants, sex trafficking, subsidized drug cartels and massive amounts of youth-killing fentanyl is now normalized. Meanwhile we’re supposed to be happy with policy-driven $4 to $6 per gallon gas prices while begging oil-rich foes to produce more. Then we have donkeys in elephants’ “clothing” trying to arouse fear and doubt about electability of our former President who made us energy independent, secured our borders, and strengthened our economy.
The fix is in to persuade Americans who don’t like what’s happening, but also who don’t like former President Trump, to sit out the next election. This is exactly what our money-hungry politicians hope for. Remember, those who sit out forfeit. Those who forfeit lose. Not just elections. But also passively contribute to the demise of our democratic republic. Those of us who studied history and lived under a Marxist regime understand we are fast devolving into a totalitarian police state where the cornerstone of free speech is squelched, distorted and vilified when it doesn’t fit the one-party line.
Our republic is at stake. Please research, pray, and vote values to fix this current corruption.
