I think this writer is wrong. We have not even gotten to full communism and gulags and political executions yet.
The same people that have near total control of the media and the vote counting mechanism? Dream on.
Wishful thinking by the author.
The Dark Winter has only just begun.
Trying to force one party rule on the country means the left has lost the country, but that won’t stop them. It could go on for decades. Look at Illinois.
Liberalism is in its death throes.
Bullshit! As desirable as that may be, I’ll believe it when I see it.
The author is mostly wrong. Yes, classical liberalism is dead. That was the ideology that promoted free speech and human rights. That ideology gone.
Unfortunately, its replacement is “progressive” fascism.
My fear is that this type of fascism will become the new normal. For example, we here on FR are appalled by the cancel culture. But thanks to the media, perhaps our children and grandchildren will come to accept it. “Of course they had to fire that guy. Ten years ago he said something offensive.”
Beginning in the Sixties when a radical form of liberalism emerged
—
Wrong - it emerged in 1917 with the Russian Revolution and was established in 1922 with the formation of the USSR. Prior to that ‘liberalism’ had a different and benign meaning.
“Liberalism” is an euphemism for socialism. As long as you keep calling it “liberal”, which it isn’t, they will continue to thrive and find followers.
Call it what is is. Every day, until everyone understands its true nature. Only then it will go away.
The "Liberalism" that took over in the 1960s ruled by controlling the flow of information, thus controlling the politicians, by directing what issues were important and what politicians (on the national stage) were acceptable.
That Liberalism became more and more extreme.
That Liberalism has had to resort to more and more blatant lies because they no longer have the credibility they had. Half the country does not believe their propaganda any more.
So.. either that anti-US liberalism dies or the Country as any sort of limited, Constitutional order, dies.
The demand for Constitutional order has risen as the lies have been exposed.
In the 1930s, there was *no* demand for Constitutional order. It is how we got the FDR revolution.
In the 1960s, because of the anti-US turn of liberalism, a resurgence of respect for the Constitution started up. Liberalism and the Constitution cannot co-exist.
Not dying, dead. At least as a force in USA politics.
The Atlanta hooker shooting is being spun to incite Asians in to joining the Democrat victimhood parade. They are the last demographic not on board (besides the hated white male).
Wokeism isn't the normal or even necessary path to communism, though it's certainly the path that the Democrats seem to have chosen in the U.S.
The problem for those who wish to implement communism in the U.S. is that they have to get the implementation accomplished before Wokeism veers off into insanity (as defined by the Democrats, not common sense Americans).
What is particularly interesting is that, in the Alaska summit last week, even China has begun to point out the inane extremes of Wokeism and how wacky America is becoming. Keep in mind that China always acts according to a well-thought out plan. In fact, China has already begun to say that the U.S. form of Democracy (Wokeism Democracy) is inferior to China's form of Democracy (Social Democracy wrapped around a totalitarian government).
"...Liberalism is in its death throes..."
Liberalism has always been a pathological, delusional entity and it is not dead. It is simply morphing into more transparent communism. Nor does it exist in a social or political vacuum. A near majority of Americans have accepted the decadence of widespread, common abortion, open homosexuality and all its bizarre permutations, chronic drug use, neopagan earth and celebrity worship as well as non critical, politically correct, delusional thinking.
If your team just stole a Presidential lection in THE greatest national entity in the known universe, then they have NOT exhausted their potential for destructive precedent-setting. What’s worse, and with or without the social, political and economic damage they plan, the Liberal bench is a bottomless pit of certifiably lunatic, greedy, venal, drunk-on-power, ego maniacs who will carry their standard for decades to come.
America, (and subsequently the world), can expect a lot more Liberal hysteria. Prepare for a pharmaceutical nightmare to rival any third world decent into chaos, anarchy and irreversible ruin. I’m glad I’ll be dead by then.
I know a lot of Asian people friends/work associates. They REALLY resent the Left dragging them into the perma victim/constantly outraged derangement circus. They know that their enemy is the Left and that the Left is trying to keep their kids out of the best univs. And they know who is giving older Asian people beat downs on the street....and it sure ain’t YT Maga hat wearing Conservatives. Hopefully more and more will not vote Dem. I know the Left is really trying to make ‘model minority’ an evil thing, but Asians are a minority in the USA, and from my personal observation, most are MODEL CITIZENS. Nice family structure, father head of house hold, strong mothers, elders respected, hard working, nice kids who COMPETE. Gee, sounds great for our country, doesn’t it?
The funny thing about communism is, when you run out of enemies...
...you never really run out of enemies.

Writer has serious rose infestation in his eyes, and is not seeing anything clearly.
We are done for. We have meekly tolerated abortion. We have meekly accepted the 2020 election illegalities that put Bidenharris in the White House. We are meekly overlooking a biological attack by China. We are meekly accepting an invasion facilitated by the federal government.
What will we not submit to? Gun confiscation? Hah. Of course we will. Mandatory vaccinations? You bet. Travel restrictions, banned speech, reparations, more lockdowns and more taxes? Cmon man, how can we not?
