You and I have never lived under communism. Talk to people who have as I have and you’ll find that despite how things are now they’re a far cry from communism.
We’re already under a totalitarian and lawless elite culture and regime that insults us, mocks our values, could and would destroy our livelihoods on a dime, and demands adherence to things offensive to our very core. This is not the America of the Founding Fathers, nor of that even 3 short decades ago.
