Given the racial language and intent, we are far past 1964. The damage done since then have come through maintained economic barriers that force dependency upon the government. While that is what LBJ did, it is the continued actions of congress then and now that endure.
With the election of GWB we would have seen a soft right turn had the 9/11 terrorist attack not happened. If not for eight years of Obama, people would realize that Trump policies are not radical nor hard right policies.
Removing obstacles that restrain the purchasing power of individuals is not by any definition, radical.
Good luck convencing voters who thought we where one election away from government income and healthcare. Who have been told that conservatism is somehow the path to slavery.
I remember being told that the extreme left would lead to tyranny And the extreme right would lead to anarchy.
I can imagine no better image of slavery than a nation of people at the mercy of there government for vital needs such as income and health care. The ability to directly control their purchase power and health benefit just seems to exceed any rational level of government authority that would only be permitted by a people unwilling or able to fight back.
What scares me right now is Trump’s age. I believe he could obtain a 2nd term if his health continues. However, I don’t see Mike Pence being the guy who will draw voters into a Trump sized vacuum. And currently, I do not see another inspiring candidate on our side.
So our weakness, in my sight, is that we have no way to maintain in the absence of Trump.
A Democrat takeover at this critical point would look more like a lynching of anything that appears capitalist, conservativee or Christian.
I think we are at risk of seeing America’s first and worse day of ideological genocide.
They know we have the votes and the 2016 setback was devastating to them. They have been encourage to brag, ridicule and persecute opposing veiws at the risk of their credibility, ego and self respect.
To find themselves in the minority of concensous, would strip them of their ability to feel enlightened, confident or even respectable.
We can’t simply blame our elected official for allowing us to vote for them.
It truly is the voter’s responsibility to know the candidate not just the campaign slogans and party affiliation. Having said that, politicians should be held to the same standards and any other advertiser where fraud is actionable through the courts by those who voted for them. Politicians who intentionally oppose their own campaign promises should expect to be sued.
Sorry for the long response
Well, coherent ones, anyway.Yours is welcome.
It comes down to this:
What will we, as a nation of freedom loving citizens, tolerate, for the sake of that freedom?
It has been said, and alluded to, in many forms, "A republic, if you can keep it"
If not ready for the cartridge box, then by all means, we need to get using the soap and jury boxes much more often, and much louder, to every single person within hearing range.
Need to overcome, out compete, or take over, the lib media, and start throwing some truth and fair representation out there.
Communism, socialism, fascism simply do not work, regardless of how much money the govt starts out with.
Those who advocate and actually are willing to vote for the rat brand and trimmings are either ignorant (in the non informed rendition of the word), or are lying.
The non informed can be informed, and once done so, can be persuaded.
The liars simply need to be exposed for what they are, in spectacular fashion, on a scale similar to what is fixing to go down in DC over the next week or so.
