   I’d love to see a lot more people talking about JD Vance’s support for Curtis Yarvin, who believes in the reinstatement of slavery, in replacing the democratically elected government with a CEO king, and that Hitler was acting in self defense.

     Republican megadonors have always wanted a return of slavery.

     Part of the planned criminalization of reproductive access & LGBTQ would create a glut of felons available for the for-profit prison system that makes $11 billion dollars of goods & services a year for the likes of Walmart.

     Plus, upon their release, they'd face a lifetime ban on voting, regardless whether they are GOP, Democrat or Independent.

     The for-profit prison industry has already maxed out their contributions to Trump. They await a payday if he's elected.

     The "war on drugs" disenfranchised over 2.47% of Americans. 1 out 44 Americans cannot vote. Mostly black and brown voters.
