What is going on

Message to Sen. Dick Durbin from a conservative point of view: You treat us like we're stupid. We know exactly what's going on. When President Biden looks bad, your answer is to blame it on President Trump.

I have heard something that makes a lot of sense: Whatever Democrats are accusing us of doing, they're probably doing themselves. We won't allow this totalitarian government to continue in January of 2025. That's why we will be out in droves to vote in November of 2024, including early voting.

Conservatives have common sense. Democrats want to instill fear in us. Our country was founded on freedom and liberty. You are doing everything in your power to strip away our rights as Americans. We won't tolerate our beautiful country to be a Socialist, Marxist country.

Stop shutting down freedom of speech. Stop teaching critical race theory. Stop targeting parents. Stop targeting Catholic churches. Stop threatening and locking up innocent citizens.

Millions of people, including Democrats and Independents, are recognizing you're targeting President Trump to keep him from becoming the 47th president. Professor Alan Dershowitz agrees in his book "Get Trump." President Trump and his supporters are strong and resilient. With every bogus indictment against President Trump, we grow stronger as a movement to stop radicalism.

Climate change is a myth. You won't stop weather patterns by eliminating the use of gas vehicles, stoves, furnaces, etc. You're trying to intimidate and control us. Instead of spending billions of our taxpayer dollars on things that make no sense, some top priorities are: close the border; stop fentanyl from being smuggled into our country; stop human trafficking, especially children; stop mutilating our children's bodies; let our police do their job; arrest and prosecute people who commit crimes; stop funding the Ukraine war; and as President Trump would say "drill, baby, drill."

God created me a woman.
