It’s certainly headed in that direction. To those who say, “we already are”, come on, don’t be ridiculous. Go to North Korea and see how differently they live from how we do. But progressivism is step one on the path to totalitarian communism, and the progressives are firmly in charge of the national government right now.

Our best hope then IMHO is to defend the Constitution in its original design (as amended) as much as possible, which includes federalism as guaranteed under the 10th Amendment. Republicans, even conservative ones, are in firm control of more than half the states, and way more than half of the territory at the local level.

All of those places need to become/stay as free as possible given the constraints imposed by the federal government, and then we will just watch as people “vote with their feet”, just like they have for generations between Havana and Miami, or North and South Korean, or the Rust Belt and the Sun Belt, and even now from California to Texas.

As the blue states/areas begin to collapse upon themselves from losing all of their productive citizens, and turning the rest into government-dependent drones, the real battle then will be about how much money the federal government can rob from the productive citizens, states, places to stave off bankruptcy in the rest of the country. If the Republicans can keep a majority in the House and 40+ in the Senate, then it will be hard for the progressives to get much more of our money.

I guess we're doomed then. People on this board don't even believe in this.

I would imagine we are much better off here than we would be in North Korea but if you compare this country to what it was in the 50s and even the 70s you can not even see it as the same country.

In the fifties if you did not like some of the laws in your state you could move to another state that had different laws and that is what states rights are all about.

I am not familiar with the history of places like Korea but i would bet we have degenerated much farther from what we were in the fifties than any nation on earth where government control is concerned.
