May these old republican asshats never have a peaceful day for as long as they live

So is our fascist government granting wishes yet? I feel like the moment they start changing people's speech they also have the ability to grant wishes within certain bounds, and so far I haven't seen any offers of granting wishes.

These government genies are the worst
