  2. J.B. Pritzker is 100% right.

    Please listen to him, pay attention, and join us in speaking out against authoritarianism and to protect free and fair elections.

He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

He added he wants to undo the "Eurocentric and Euro-Atlantic models" also confirming his aims for his meeting in Alaska, to split US and Europe.
