What is wrong with this woman? Is it her socialist/commie ideology or just plain old power hungry?

“Is it her socialist/commie ideology or just plain old power hungry?”

The left is about power. Period.

1984, Part 3, Chapter 3, O’Brien to Smith:

“...The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness: only power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently.

We are different from all the oligarchies of the past, in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites.

The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just round the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal.

We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.

Now do you begin to understand me?’”

Both, she’s a socialist at heart, especially with Covid which made her drunk with power, the Green Terrorists in her state applied pressure to her so she would shutdown the pipeline, the unions objected but it’s obvious the unions in Michigan no long carry the day, it’s the environmental nazis......

The members are not blue votes, but their leadership is, I read where Union Members put hundreds of hard hats on the grounds of the capitals in protest of the jobs that will be lost, but these poor fools don’t realize their leadership has sold them out....

Here’s an article about the situation..
