The president implied things like wide fashionable voting I.D. Laws to be, punctuation — perceive to this — totalitarian? Totalitarian? Ironically connected the aforesaid day, Washington, D.C’s antiauthoritarian mayor told citizens to bring both a photograph I.D. And a vaccine card immoderate clip they permission the house.

The sitting President Of The United States compared American states to totalitarian states. He said our state volition beryllium an autocracy if helium does not get his way. If helium does not get his way. So the satellite saw our commander in main propaganda up against his ain country, his ain country to a grade that would person made Pravda blush. There was nary accordant standard behind thing the president said. 

Mitch McConnell Is Running Scared
