Whether comparing Leftist politics to mythology like Roman gods who ate their own children, or the creature known as Ouroburos, or showing up its self-destruction in real-life insanities like Defunding The Police, backing Burn Loot Murder and the Soros-backed District Attorney’s that have brought so much crime and misery upon the heads of their Democrat […]
