No Room for Despair

Time to get busy. There are too many things that need our attention; we cannot succumb to the depression that comes with realizing what they are. When we are awake to the gravity of what faces us it can seem overwhelming. We must take this Country back.

That is exactly what the Reich wants. They are hoping that we become apathetic due to the sheer exhaustion of the insurmountable battles that we face.

We cannot. And we cannot afford to eat our own. Now is the time to stick together. We absolutely must take this Country back from those who truly hate America and what she stands for.
