The Christian party, Republican party want children, seniors to starve, have no healthcare, learn the truth and history, can't afford rent nor house payments nor car payment, have no civil right, voting rights, women rights, etc.
Treating immigrants inhuman, treating the less fortunate inhumanly.
shithole and the Republican party stealing, cheating and making up shit while running the country to bankruptcy.
Damn straight, religion in down is most people's view.
