This has never become clearer since the election of and braindead enabling of a hideously imbalanced, morally deficient, pathologically narcissist thug Cretin with no character or soul.
Destroying the country, to them, is far better than ever having a qualified, forceful woman in/with power.

Elizabeth will be ignored.
