Liberalism is a Mental Disorder

Remember, patriots..they let Joe Biden off the ballot but not Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It's a desperate attempt by liberals to make you vote for Kennedy thinking he's still running and not President Trump. DO NOT VOTE FOR KENNEDY - HE IS NOT RUNNING!! In fact, he has ENDORSED President Trump and President Trump is going to appoint Robert Kennedy to his cabinet!
