I hate saying this, but some people have to learn about grifters, liars, and crooks the hard way. It was a great tragedy for our Republic that we weren’t able to reach these people in 2024 but it appears that more of these people have been inspired to change their minds about Orange Julius, his party, and their policies.

I hope it’s not too late for constitutional rule.
