Liberals want two things: Power and the perks that come with it.
Liberal goals: Destruction of Israel; Slowing down the US economy/military so other countries (like China) can pass us; elimination of the need for black votes and the elimination of the blacks themselves. They hold a grudge forever.
Patriot goals: Annihilate the deep state. Each and everyone of them. Show no mercy.
Yes, as Ben Franklin warned, if government is the means to satisfy avarice and ambition, men will move mountains to get there.
Well summarized.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
