It reads like a thinly veiled hit piece against supposed "nutjob" Non-Communists. It's the AP of course, so I shouldn't be surprised. There's photo titled "Wild turkeys roam past St. Croix County Republican Party Chairman Matt Bocklund". In that picture is a supposed grey turkey and white turkey. The white turkey is a Broad Breasted White hen, hatched from a hatchery for meat production, unable to survive on its own, and likely escaped from a local turkey farm. That tells me how much to trust the reporter. It's a staged photo in a slanted article.
Reading between the lines, yes the U.S is descending into a failed state status and those of us that see it aren't sitting idly by while it happens. We're getting ready. Look at the drug use and cultural rot seeping from the cities like an open sewage line. Look at the evil being called good, and look at Pro-Life activists getting arrested by the U.S versions of the KGB. I could go on and on.
Something else that the article doesn't hit on, but should (at least in the South and the Upland South) is the lack of funds for our own citizens, and the drug use problem. I have people in my Volunteer Fire District in the same situation that I deal with every week. They're old and elderly, with minimal, or drug-addicted, family and are typically only checked on once-a-week. When they fall down in their house the heat goes off (wood stoves), they're too weak to get up and they lay in the floor crapping, urinating and sometimes vomiting all over themselves until they get checked up on again and then my department gets toned out to try and keep them stable until ALS can arrive. Separately I have neighbors addicted to meth and opioids that are flowing in through our southern border that are ODing in front of their kids and dying while we try to resuscitate them. This occurs all throughout the South and Appalachia and the rust belt up North.
And our government's main concern currently is to forgive student loans? Illegal alien medical care? Child murder? Gay mirage? Pronoun usage? Gender fluidity? Tranny stuff? What an absolute crock. There's a reason Trump talked about us "forgotten men and women" and why these areas like mine voted for Trump 70% to 90%. So yes, when Kraft in the article said it's no longer Republican vs Democrat, but Good vs. Evil he's entirely correct. And I'd stick 90% of Dems as evil and 50% of Repubs as evil. This system will not hold and it will collapse unless the laws of reality, and economics are rescinded.
