You voted in a fascist man child, you get fascist man child leadership and all of your rights are under threat as a result.

It's a delicious irony.

I personally did not vote the ignorant Putin licking Fascist in, too smart and patriotic to ever vote for some cowardly piece of shit like that.

But yes, all sane patriotic Americans are affected by this failed coup inciting traitor. I'm much more concerned for my fellow Americans and their children than I am for myself. My heart goes out to all who put country over traitor, much respect.
