Sounds like a tactic of the Left:
“... with the horrors of the “gun culture”, and you’re perfectly fine...”
“... with the horrors of the “anti-welfare culture”, and you’re perfectly fine...”
This, like most things, ONLY becomes an issue when govt is involved.
Yes, this is a stepping-stone, and ~100yrs too late to stop anything. We the People allowed the social/commun-ism to grow and flourish...income taxes, public schools, unions, property taxes, etc.
I’d say it was you whom were too blind to see...expecting anything less since the counter-culture revolution of the 60’s (a revolution ‘they’ won).
Any chance you could translate it nice, linear sentences?
