These are FACTS:

Librarians banning books.
Teachers teaching fake history.
Scientists hiding data and the truth.
Lawyers and judges refusing to enforce rule of law or US constitution.
Doctors letting pregnant women die horrible deaths when they could have easily been saved.
Federal officials wearing masks, no identification, rounding up people, sending them to gulags with no due process.
Federal officials arresting children, putting them in zip ties for no reason.
US congress refusing to do their jobs.
US Supreme Court refusing to do their jobs and ruling in favor of billionaires and fascists.

We are witnessing the greatest moral decline in US history.

Putting our heads in the sand and pretending it is not happening will not solve the problem.
