💭 Remember Farage in 2018? “Join the Brexit club …you’ll love it.” 2026 reality check: Hungary 🇭🇺 voted Viktor Orbán out and chosen to stay firmly in the EU. They looked at Brexit Britain: stagflation, energy shocks, exposure and said: no. Hungary dodged the trap Britain is still stuck in!

Blood pays for your silence, and the bill keeps growing. They want obedience dressed up as responsibility. People who believe they built their own cage start negotiating for softer restraints instead of tearing the structure apart. Control becomes internal.

Do they realize they are insulting Americans ??? Who is left voting for Republicans ?? Hellooo Trump did you forget you are not a wrestler yourself ??? Unbelievable. 😒
If you think calling the GOP "nazis" is going too far, there's a case to be made that it's not going far enough. In NC, they proposed an amendment to their constitution that criminalizes any intervention w pregnancy, punishable by death, to be carried out by anyone. www.ncleg.gov/Sessions/202...
