30. You're right, he is literally destroying our country.

"Corruption has become the currency of power. Cruelty isn’t just tolerated anymore; it’s celebrated, televised, monetized, weaponized. Lies are mass-produced, traded like stocks, and sold back to the people they were meant to deceive."

"Outrage has become the new religion. Empathy is dismissed as weakness. Truth bends to the will of the powerful while decency slips toward extinction. The Trump administration parades deceit as strength, dresses greed in the language of God, and sells division as patriotism to a nation too exhausted to notice it’s being robbed blind."

"And at the center of it all are men like Trump and Vance and their merry band of feckless enablers, men who treat hate as heritage and ignorance as armor. Men who gorge on power for its own sake, who mistake cruelty for charisma, who see compassion as a threat. They’ve turned moral decay into political theater and fear into an economy. They build their kingdoms out of bitterness, dress it up as courage, and call it freedom."

"But make no mistake: what they worship isn’t just power. It’s poison. And the only way to stop it from spreading is to keep fighting for...a world lit by truth, held together by compassion, and sustained by people who refuse to surrender their humanity."

- Joanne Carducci (JoJoFromJerz)
