Whose farmers are selling to the customers we forfeited
Because that is America First

So individual Democrats across the country are probably popular in a way the party as a whole is not. And it is those individuals -- not the Dempcratic Party -- who will win the races against MAGA opponents.

The former Marine accused of killing four people in a fiery attack on a Michigan church held a deep grudge against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to two lifelong friends and other people who knew him. The animosity, the friends said, stemmed from a breakup with a religious girlfriend over a decade ago and led the man to rant about the church at his best friend’s wedding, refer to it as the Antichrist and, just days before the attack, spew invective against Mormons to a canvassing politician.
