P.S. I don't subscribe to the above but I believe it's where the owned government officials are at.


> current administration

We get it, all lives matter.

The point they're making is that $currentAdministration ran specifically on a platform countering this behavior and have failed to keep those promises, whereas others which ignored it simply did not mention it.
