Indeed. I posted the entire poem a few days ago regarding the suicidal action.

T. Rump acolytes are more numerous percentage-wise then were NAZIs when Hitler became German Chancellor. How's THAT for scary! Annnnnd, they're buying guns at a feverish pace.

Perfect quote. The Illinois National Guard has already been called to the Washington DC for next Wednesday. I am really worried about what might happen.
