Under the cover of Covid, and now in the shadow of the infamous Election Irregularities of that fated 2020 presidential election, with current emerging alleged election fraud in Nevada and Pennsylvania inconveniently slipping into the public discourse, there is proved a colluded ongoing Election Interference in the nomination of the Republican candidate, the likes of which has never occurred in our Constitutional Republic's history, albeit, the question remains: Do you support the plain-sight Election Interference of the Democratic Socialist party, employing its minions in their Propagandistic Media, and their Two Tiered Justice System?
98.96% No, I do not support Election Interference; I am a patriot unto our Constitution.
1.04% Yes, I do support Election Interference; the alternative, Donald Trump, to this mentally diminished president is far worse.
0% "What, me worry" if elections are rigged?
