    They stole the last one, and if they don’t enact martial law for midterms, they’ll just steal that one, too. Kamala had the intel and the power to force the issue, but stood down.

    Politicians have recently admitted they’re afraid of AI-driven 25% unemployment rates and the resulting civil unrest.
