We need hard, pipe hitting liberals in government who have no issues with going medieval, hell dark ages or Roman Empire on Republican asses. Reps AOC and Omar are a good start but we need thousands more of them at all levels of government. We don't need the continued

The milquetoast set is always so worried that Sean Hannity, Fucker Carlson, the Five Giggling Couch Tumors, and so on will be mean to them if they press too hard. They need to get it through their heads that those fucks at Faux "News" are going to call them names no matter what so it's time to give these idiots a real reason to despise them.
