https://lnkd.in/gxSHp9YV The forces tearing apart our democracy have never been more frightening or powerful, but who is actually behind them?

1. This SCOTUS Opinion did NOT give absolute immunity to “official acts,” that is a LIE! 2. When you repeat a lie enough people believe it’s true. Liberals Conservatives and Libertarians are all repeating this lie 3. Lies have caused Americans to believe the President has “enormous power” beyond the grant of the Constitution. 4. People believing that Presidents have enormous power along with absolute immunity for all the “official acts” associated with those unconstitutional powers creates a completely uncontrollable dictator. Why would every political party repeating this incredibly dangerous lie? Because every political party wants you to believe this lie so they can exercise uncontrollable power in the name of the office of the president. We have a responsibility. We MUST speak truth.
