Greater clarity in why they want to kill us all.

Make no mistake: They are coming for our rights. They are coming for our jobs. They are coming for our air and water. They are coming for our health, wealth, and well-being. And when they have taken all that away from us, they are coming for our lives.

There is no common ground with practitioners of evil. There will not be, nor should there be, a kumbaya moment with those people.

And we did not need an article on Cletus anthropology to tell us otherwise.
