This Country Needs A Hero [View all]

Yeah I know, Gavin Newsom is trying, Pritzker is trying, AOC and Bernie traveled extensively across the country.

The march to autocracy moves on.

We need a hero to rally around, doesn't even have to be a Democrat, must be a fearless warrior with charisma.

He/she would get tons of support. I thought about this after I got 4 more texts so far today asking for money. I will take out a loan for a hero.

Maybe Newsom or Pritzker will evolve into a hero?

I think Gov Pritzker is our best bet for 2028. His family is from Ukraine and his hatred of ruskies runs deep and hot. SheltieLover Oct 4 #8
