It is truly a lurching epiphany, connecting the dots as to how systematically communism has infiltrated and transformed the United States.
Repeatedly, one needs to ask: how is it possible that such a vile and discredited system as communism continues to gain traction among so many people?
Like others before me, I am astonished at the prescience of W. Cleon Skousen, author of The Naked Communist, who, in 1958, explained "how many well-meaning citizens have become involved in pushing forward the Communist program without realizing it. They became converted to Communist objectives because they accepted superficial Communist slogans." Skousen succinctly explained 45 communist goals, and, sadly, Americans have either been bludgeoned into accepting far too many of them or have naïvely accepted them without realizing their ultimate consequences.
Goal #31: "Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of 'the big picture.' Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over."
Consider the execrable move to incorporate the error-filled "1619 Project" into schools and marvel at the success of communists to ensure that American children will come to despise our foundational ideas. In fact, in his first day as president, Biden ended the 1776 Commission to Create a Patriotic History Curriculum that is in direct contrast to the "1619 Project," which reflects a decidedly anti-American, factually incorrect, and blatantly biased program that is currently being pushed through the U.S. education system.

Trump won in a landslide. America has not fallen to the allure of anything.
The WhiteHouse has been usurped.

The “The Naked Communist” explained to me when I was younger why rich people would prefer commie systems. Simply could not understand that. Skousan explained how it is so much easier for them to get contracts, approvals, exclusives, have competitors nailed, etc. The democratic way too messy and uncertain. Easier just to payoff some corrupt party hacks.
I spent 10 years making sure this country was the land of the free.
I’m retired now.
No, it is coffee time, watching the public works people from my kitchen, and all the young fools tearing down the nation, with NOBODY, no hard hats with bats, no concerned citizens, NOBODY doing anything, ‘cept waitin’ fer dah guv’mint tah do it.
I am all outta ***** tah give.
Yeah, communism is here man. And Americans are afraid to bleed. The most precious commodity after air is freedom and liberty. Without them slavery is right around the corner.
Indeed, particularly with a frightened incompetent, if not sold out political party in opposition. It is a tragic failure that so many do not realize what is happening.

“They became converted to Communist objectives because they accepted superficial Communist slogans.”
Aided by superficial corporatist slogans like giving away American jobs to foreigners being “the free market.” If that’s capitalism, thought many Americans, then tell us about the alternative.
