2 days after the capitol was breached, this speech rings loudly in my head

[@libertycoffeehouse3944]

Lincoln centralized power in the national government. The government is enslaving the people today. It is destroying the dollar to subsidized corporations that are in bed with government. These problems trace back to Lincoln's consolidation of power during the Civil War. Today the government no longer follows the constitution at all. It won't be much longer that people will not be able to feed their family. It is the government that has done this. We have a fiat currency that Lincoln helped create.

A Caesar, an Alexander or a Trump. That's what he feared, a strongman emerging that'd become an autocrat.

Oh you mean a Biden and our entire government because they’ve sold us out.

Does Kaiser Trump ring a bell?

He was the best. He never followed the Constitution. He wanted to make slavery permanent. He representated the corporate interest.
