    So thankful for your honesty… where you were in your thinking and how you became aware of the lefts destructive ways . I look back on the pandemic with such horror and disgust…. that we can destroy our cities and people, let Antifa harm without consequence and the left just let it burn. We cannot forget… we can never allow that again.
