I will never kowtow to this illegal criminal regime; I donated 35 years of my life in the service of our country and these Nazi's will never scare me.

What I am is a pissed off white southern woman whose family has been in NC since 1700, and with a husband whose family has been here in NC since the early/mid 1600's. People like us are who they expect to cower. Well, fuck that.

And also.

Fuck those treasonous fucking assholes. It's my country too, and they can fucking take a fucking hike all the fucking way up to the summit of Mount Fuck Off, and then they can jump the fuck off that.

That is all.

Trump & Co is unhinged. It's just a matter of time and we'll do it because we have to.

They've probably discussed, "What is the minimum number of people we have to kill so the rest give up and stop resisting?"
