Haley Stevens, in a showing of her inner evil, flipped sides on the Michigan Senate election by backing Republican candidate Mike Rogers.

Hypo: In a showing of grace from the CCP, Halloween night becomes an “unregulated” holiday, meaning the government will not enforce controls on crowds and organizing. On Halloween night in 2026, the CCP’s worst nightmares came true, as an unregulated crowd became a mob that torched a government building in the name of “Reviving the Revolution.” Should China embrace this revolution as a chance to change its governance?
