The resistance such as it was in the old Soviet Union stayed alive because the Soviets didn’t mess with the churches. Seems like Trump et al are making sure that doesn’t happen to them.

Also, on social media all NGO’s are not just suspect but almost certainly commie deep state subversives who drain tax dollars. 🙄
