We all know people that are young and dumb. I'm not knocking these people. I was young and dumb too like many of us were then.
We thought we knew it all. Our conversations were along the lines of 'our parents don't understand us.'
They probably didn't.
There came a day though when I realized not everything our parents considered near and dear were terrible ideas.
I realized that I didn't know it all either. The older i get the more apt i am to admit some things are just beyond my understanding.
Now i see groups of people that concern me immensely. People that believe everything the media tells them and don't bother to question what they're hearing.
You can confront them with the facts and they have no idea what you're talking about. They know plenty of talking points but you know most of it spells trouble. Take Marxism. You know they're buying into it.
Some of them totally support it or what they think it is. Some of them have no idea what they're supporting is Marxism. They have no idea what Marxism is.
The ignorance is dangerous. There is another group of people that i meet often and i bet you have too. They can't stand politics and they don't vote. They don't want to know anything that is going on.
They honestly think knowing what is going on is ignorant and a waste of time. Their ignorance is dangerous. None of these groups can see what is coming.
The rest of us will be the ones to pay for it. They think the people at the bottom will be treated fairly and be better off. It never works that way.
The few at the top end up being the privileged and everyone else is equally at the bottom. The people at the top have all the power and money.
The people at the bottom are beholden to the state and they will be given what the higher ups decide is good for them; not to mention the state will take away the rights they don't think the underlings need.
Marxism, where it was practiced, used resentment to stir people up. For example, the poor resented the rich. If you look at the countries where communism took over the rich became the elites or the elites became the rich.
Everyone else became poorer.
They didn't see that coming. It never solved the dispariities. It only made things worse. The one thing it did do was take away the rights of the citizens to speak up against the higher ups.
The state media kept telling them how good things were even when it flew in the face of reality. Sound familiar?
In the United States the narrative is being sold as those people are your oppressor and you are the oppressed. They're trying to build up resentment . It's always worked. It can work across race, ethnicity and class. As long as resentment can be built up-someone has something that you don't have.Whether it's power, prestige or wealth.
The young and idealistic people can be taken advantage by people who convince them an idealistic world can be created by the state. The people at the top sell them them the programs that can cure our problems and create the ideal country.
First they have to be convinced they live in a horrible country standing in the way of a possible utopia. It's not possible. Sometimes life is not fair. The good suffer, the evil flourish. You work hard but it's like you're treading water.
You come from the same background as everyone else in your neighborhood but they go on to a great career and you're pumping gas. You take vitamins, work out, jog every day and sometime along the way you discover you have a serious illness.
It's like our country. It has flaws and sometimes our leaders have been less than perfect but we've only had 1 civil war and we abolished slavery. We became properous through good use of our resources, much sacrifice and a strong worth ethic but we also struggled through the Great Depression.
We've lived peacefully by our neighbors but we also ended up in WWII.
Reality: We can minimize problems. The state can enact good policies but it can never create a perfect world. It can minimize crime, but never eliminate it. It can give people an opportunity to change their circumstances but it may or may not happen.
The one thing the state CAN do is protect the rights of its citizens and defend them against our enemies. That's it. PERIOD.We don't have to give up our freedoms to the state. We get to think for ourselves.There's the trade off.
You can look to the former Soviet Union and see what communism (Marxism)did there. The state was going to take care of everyone. The state knew better for the people than they knew for themselves; the state was going to be everything.
Besides all the terrible things it did (murder ,genocide, imprisonment), in the end [over generations] it took away the people's incentive to work and improve their own situation. The state told them they knew what was best but the people in charge were really the stupid people & they were corrupt.
The media was propaganda. The people could never get the truth from the media even when they could see it with their own 2 eyes.
The state removed God. The state was god. All it really gave people was a sense of hopelessness. They were in a hopeless situation. Some of these regimes eventually collpased or crossed a bridge too far and ended up destroyed. Some of these regimes are still holding onto power even today.
It was tried in Cuba, N Korea, Venezuela...it never worked. Unfortunately time and time again they convinced people it was the answer. They always use the same tactics.
I suppose the elites here figure they will get it right and it will work this time. They're not going to 'get it right' because it's so flawed to begin with. The outcome is never different.
You can see where our media is going, now that we're finally in an election year.
President Trump is dangerous. President Trump is a threat. President Trump will be a tyrant. MAGA is a domestic terrorist movement.Trump already served 1 term and had he been any one of those things he would have exhibited it then. The question we have is, how far are they willing to go to stop him?
Trump was the one who was spied on but when they convinced some people that Trump was a Putin agent they could justify what they were doing to him.
They had the investigation by Mueller after persuading Jeff Sessions to recuse himself. They went after Trump's associates. Anyone close to Trump who supported him was a target.
Hillary insisted he was an illegitimate President and convinced some people it was true.
Who could forget the mayhem in the streets from BLM and Antifa when Trump was elected, or as the media told us the "peaceful" protests.
We saw that too when Trump was sworn in. There was violence in the streets of various cities including DC.
The resistance movement started. The Democrats encouraged the 'resistance' to attack Trump and his people. i definitely remember the nonsense from the left on Twitter everyday while Trump was in office. They were downright nasty.
It was puzzling to me and it's still puzzling to me. When the truth was revealed did the Democrats simply refuse to believe the truth or didn't it matter?
When their coup failed none of the people involved were ever held accountable. Outside of Clinesmith who got a slap on the hand nothing happened.
Many of us believe the 2020 was stolen; at the least it was rigged. I don't know how anyone could say that's not true. You may not believe it was stolen. You can't deny it was rigged.
Biden got 81 million votes*. Trump was already packed up and headed to Mar A Lago. This after the Democrats were talking about having the US Marshals physicalliy remove him because he wouldn't leave.
He did. Now the same people can't get Biden to bow out. So much for convincing people Trump would refuse to leave. It's Joe.
Now we have since seen what the left is capable of. The DOJ is the weapon of the Biden Regime to take out Trump.
Fanni Willis, Jack Smith, Judge Erdogan and Chauvin got their marching orders and in corordination with the DOJ indicted Trump in several states. Sometimes with a civil suit to drain his resources and damage his reputation.
Sometimes with a bogus criminal charge by using lawfare; you take existing law and twist it like a pretzel. Some people say a ham sandwhich. Not in Trump's case.
Toss out attorney client privilege and go after his lawyers. Toss out presidental immunity and destroy it for good. No future President would be able to make decisions.
Change the law just for Trump so the statute of limitations no longer applies. Our whole justice system has been shattered and unless something gives we won't be able to put it back together.
Communism is here. It's the early stages but definitely here.
They managed the usual way:
build up resentment between groups
appeal to the ideolism of inexperienced youth
gaslight the ignorant public with propoganda in the media
corrupt the justice system and target political opponents
censor free speech (the ban on President Trump)
intimidate with violence (Antifa/BLM);even the threat of violence.We all know what will happen if Trump is elected because they already did it from 2016-2020.They're hinting they will do it again.
dumb down the citizens. academia has been at it for years.
accuse the other side of what they are doing
Anytime communism has taken over a country it's with the co-operation of enough of the public to make a difference. Venezuela voted in their own dictator. Russia and Cuba did it with a violent revolution. Canada and the U.S. were insidious. It crept in slowly with socialism.
Socialism is communism light. It's the introductory package. It's like starting off with a gateway drug, moving onto the harder stuff.
Fascism uses the same tactics. There's little difference between the communist dictators and the Nazi dictator Hitler. A tyrant is a tyrant no matter what their ideology is.
It can be a theocracy or a secular government. Doesn't matter that much. Once they've taken over there's no going back. You don't find a way out.
One thing the American people don't want to do is give up their 2nd amendment right. One of the first things a communist/fascist regime does is disarm their citizens.
People ask why the Cubans, the Iranians, the Venezuelans etc don't overthrow the regime. It's very simple. The government has the weapons and they don't.
Our founders were very aware we could end up with another King George [or worse] so they wrote in this protection to the Constitution:
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a FREE State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, SHALL NOT be infringed".
It's the right to self defense-on a small scale as protection from criminals or large scale as protection from our own government.
There is nothing about hunting or sport in the amendment. The purpose is so we can have a militia to keep ourselves free. Don't ever give it up. I know there's a danger when you're allowed to have arms.
People do terrible things. I know every time we suffer a tragic senseless mass shooting [especially in our schools] the first thing that comes up is gun control but the greater danger would be a tryannical government from which there would be no escape.
Gun control is the easy answer to go for but it wouldn't necessarily work.Criminals don't care about laws. It's not a good idea to leave the law abiding defenseless against criminals who can get their hands on a gun. I know even the most ardent supporters of the 2nd amendment are sometimes tempted to go for it when these incidents happen but it would be an insoluble mistake.
The left has been chipping away at it. They don't mind taking away the right little by little if they can't get it all at once.
Thankfully, our founders knew what they were doing.
Our Constitution is the best thing we have going for us.
As soon as the left either abuses it- that is uses it against itself- or tries to ignore it, a red flag should go up.
It's a bit like when they use Christianity to attack Christians. Ever notice this? You see it with liberal politicans all the time.
They don't have the time of day for Christianity and you know they don't spend more than 5 min reading scripture (if that) yet they'll get out there and quote scripture or throw out some tenent of Christianity to attack Chrisitans.
You know very well when it comes to questions of morality they accuse Christians of shoving religion down their throats or they bring up the standard response; the Constitution gave us seperation of church and state.
Pelosi and Biden both claim to be Catholic. Take it from a Catholic (me),they're clueless.
They call Christians hypocrites for supporting Trump, especially if you're either a Catholic or evangelical.
Right then and there you know they don't get it at all.It's like this; as long as our leaders, President included, protect OUR freedom of religion and the right to follow our own conscience we don't expect them to be our pope, priest, rabbi or minister.
BTW, it's especially important to understand; we believe we are ALL sinners but we also believe in redemption.
The Constitution says NOTHING about the seperation of church and state. It does say that the state is not to interfere with the church.
Remember the Venezuelan dictator had the citizens elect him. Who elects to install a dictatorship? Evidently it can happen. They did it. They're not going to vote their way out of it. There's a lessson to keep in mind. They were an oil rich country and the people lived relatively well. Now they're in abject poverty. Communism. Have to love it.
I've got news for the lefties, anti Trumpers and swampy Republicans who are all thrilled with everything the BIden regime is doing to Trump & his supporters.
IF their goal is acheived and he's out of the way along with MAGA they will be next sooner or later.
I'm sure there will be a policy or two they disagree with or a candidate they would like to support that is not approved of by the powers that be; good luck.
How about if the commander in chief decides to take the country into a war you don't approve of? It's all good when you're on the same page.
It's not so good when you think a decision is a real bad idea. You know-the worst case scenario that can happen.
You see that invasion on our border? That's not compassion for our fellow man. That's the assurance of one party rule. They use people-with or without their consent- to acheive their goals.
I have a question for the left; are you really buying this crap about MAGA (wanting our country to be great)being terrorists?
You're ok with Obama and Biden sending BILLIONS to Iran with no strings attached when Trump put harsh (and effective)sanctions on the regime. Iran-a REAL theorcracy something you always opposed or at least claimed you did.
75th Anniversary Edition
Animal Farm or Communism In A Nutshell.
The Russia Collusion lie was exposed but you're willing to give the media a pass and continue to believe everything they say? Unquestionably no less.
Even after it was exposed that they censored the Hunter Laptop story prior to the election?
How about the FBI coordinating with Twitter and Facebook? No problem with them using censorship? They banned a sitting President because THEY didn't like him-that was ok?
Are you honestly buying Biden's story that half of our own citizens are terrorists? Do you mean to tell me that you think the idea of America First and the policies that support it are dangerous? Yet, the criminals and cartels on our border are not a problem?
I'm puzzled that you're eating it up.
*Biden got 81 million votes. Anyone else think it's just not possible? I've never met any of these 81 million. Not so much as one.How about you?
