That is not strictly true. They first got captive audiences in the schools and government offices. They have also taken conservatives to civil court or fixed the laws to have them attacked by government officials. They had a plan for infiltration and takeover of places and institutions of power.
That is way much more than mere talk. If we don't convene to make plans and carry them out, this mess we are in will become quite permanent. Then THEY will begin to execute their plans of some sort of "final solution". Bill Ayers, Obama's mentor, has indicated that perhaps 20-40 million Americans would have to be killed in order to bring about Utopia. Don't think for a minute that those were rhetorical words. Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Castro were all talkers until they started their respective purges.
Why isn’t Bill Ayers the chief thug? Really... His type often has power in third world hellholes. What did we do right to keep him on the outside?
Seems to be a fairly equal distribution of good and evil in Western countries...
When the country was young Thomas Jefferson and George Washington types were being pushed to the top... And now? A “Jefferson” might be working in a tech company or library...not at the top of government. Hitler and Stalin types are here in the US too... but our system doesn’t move them to the top...
Some healthy incentives are working.
The problem is totalitarians have rewards for their evils.. taking over a country like the US has got to be one of the biggest plums in history. They HAVE motive.
Our on side we want people to stay free... our ‘motive’ is to feel good about doing the right thing. Not quite as powerful...
You know... trying to write this I understand why you feel it’s hopeless... It’s not - but I understand the feeling.
