Good for you, speaking truth to the indoctrinated may wake a few up before it’s too late.

"This is what grocery store look like under socialist and communist regimes."

If a Cuban actually said those words in a Havana market, he could be put in jail within minutes. Not an exaggeration.

They won’t get it.
Especially since Trump is the President right now.
I guarantee, that they believe it’s all because of Trump.

I think Sanders is closer to a hard core Communist.

Though your point is well taken, the Bernistas could accurately reply that “this” was manifestly what grocery stores looked like under a capitalist regime?

The gas station convenience store nearby has full shelves, drinks, etc. Got some tater chips for today’s ride and picnic. Parking lot at the pot store was jammed as we passed by.

I have several Ukrainian friends who know what it is like to live in a Communist nation. When they see these Communist useful fools, they don’t mince words. They are enraged that they came to America and see this toxic dump on the political landscape even happening.

Went to HEB yesterday. No cheese. Lack of toilet paper has driven many to opt for constipation.

This is what grocery store look like under socialist and communist regimes.

I went to my local Costco today to pick up a prescription and the line for the cash registers reached clear across the store. They announced that all paper products had been sold out.

Later, I went to a local supermarket to get some potatoes and green cabbage but neither of these were available and except for items like candy and cosmetics, the shelves were largely empty. So I had to have my corned beef with bok choi instead of green cabbage.

Welcome to the Soviet Union.

We have people driving several hours out from the city to buy up items out my way so they can then sell them in the city at a markup.
Then you have the panicked people seeing the emptying shelves freaking out and buying items just because someone else is reaching for it.

LIBERALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both cows, slaughters them for their own food,
and taxes you to death for worthless social programs, for having
the animals originally.

Progs advocate for advancements in science, technology,
economic development and social organization, but they’re so full
of bullshit, nothing ever changes.
You still have 2 cows.

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State forces you to give one to your neighbor, shoots the neighbor
and forces you to milk them both, giving all milk back to the state.
The State gives you a cup of sour milk.

The State terrrorizes the animals until they can’t produce milk,
beats you and your wife to death, and puts your daughters & sons
into the Pedophile Nation, for the Epsteins, Weiners, Clintons etc.

MARXISM
You have 2 cows.
The government takes both and tosses you into a hog pen, where you’re
devoured and never found.

You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, hires a sub-contractor to milk the other, and then throws the milk away.

You pile into the derivatives market, buy a Gulfstream
and when it all comes down around your ears...

You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.

Enough toilet paper. Went to the store today and the TP and paper products were empty except for everything high up on the shelves as backstock. Talked to an elderly guy that I know as a diehard democrat, he was pissed that there was no TP. I let him know call your congressmen and senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters and complain to them.

Not quite communism yet. Lots of shelves are still full and the quality is still good. The empty shelves do hint at a future of socialism which is exactly the feeling I got the other day while trying to buy distilled water.

“...stare blankly ...”

That’s why it is impossible to educate them .... there is nothing going on behind that blank stare.
