And for who? Because we know you didn't all show up and vote against this. This wouldn't be happening if you had.

since half of Republicans and conservatives also believe were spiraling out of control, how many of them mean spiraling out of control because of illegals, Antifa, and wokeness, with the solution being for the regime to crack down even harder?
