Tweet from Martina Navratilova

“ I know totalitarianism,
I know socialism, I know communism. We have no socialism here,(except for those too big to fail), we certainly have no communism but man- at this rate we are but 1 election away from having totalitarianism. We prevailed.
Let’s keep it going! Go Raphael !”
