“I can no longer
remain in today’s
Democratic Party
that is now under
the complete control
of an elitist cabal
of warmongers
driven by cowardly
wokeness, who divide us by
racializing every issue & stoke
anti-white racism, actively work
to undermine our God-given
freedoms, are hostile to people of
faith & spirituality, demonize the
police & protect criminals at the
expense of law-abiding Americans,
believe in open borders, weaponize
the national security state to go after
political opponents, and above all,
dragging us ever closer to nuclear
war. I believe in a government
that is of, by, and for the people.
Unfortunately, today’s Democratic
Party does not. Instead, it stands
for a government of, by, and for the
powerful elite. I’m calling on my
