It's been over three years and one political party is still living in Foxville. Last month, the Maricopa County (Arizona) Board of Supervisor­s meeting ended abruptly when a swarm of Republican­s rushed toward the dais, shouting that the supervisor­s were illegitima­te. Four of the five Maricopa County supervisor­s are Republican men and had to be escorted out of chambers by security while the sheriff's office was called for additional protection.

These supervisor­s had to endure death threats and had their families harassed since November 2020 because they upheld the U.S. Constituti­on by sending Maricopa County's vote totals to the state, ensuring that Biden won Arizona's 11 Electoral College votes. After that, all 16 of Arizona's Republican state senators called for the Maricopa County board to be held in contempt and its members arrested. One state senator got a conscience and they backed down. On Jan. 6, 2021, around 1,000 protesters were outside the Arizona state capitol, where they erected a guillotine and carried rifles. The death threats have continued through 2022. Who does this? Duhh, Trumpers!

It's now 2024 and almost 70% of Republican­s believe that President Biden was illegitima­tely elected. Why? Forget your feelings and look at the facts. We're gonna do a simple test to see how grounded you are to truth and reality. Those that fail the test cannot vote this November.

The Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit cost Fox News a $787.5 million settlement for spreading election lies. Do you still believe their lies?

Fox News constantly takes facts and twists them to fit their propaganda.

Sometime around Trump's third term, he will announce that he is canceling elections and staying at the White House for life. Would you vote for a dictator? A. Trump! Trump! Trump! B. What's wrong with you people?

Trump constantly tells us how rich he is, yet he can't secure a $464 million surety bond to appeal his latest judgment as he lost another trial, shocking! Most of his campaign PAC donations went to his attorneys, not his campaign. Now that Trump has taken over the RNC (Republican National Committee) and installed Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law, as co-chair, most of the money raised for Republican­s will be going to Trump's lawyers, not his campaign. This means that Republican Senate, Congressio­nal and gubernator­ial candidates will be receiving less money as it's being siphoned off the top for Dementia Don, who keeps saying at his rallies that Biden won his last election against Barak Hussein Obama.
