Most leftists would starve if they had to grow their own food.

The most obvious fallacy is that a President can fundamentally transform a Republic without a clear popular mandate to do so.

Unpopular and negative changes can be effected. Stalin effected fundamental transformation, so did Hitler, so did the Emperor of Japan, so did Mao. Has nothing to do with "a clear popular mandate."

No one person does this alone, of course. These swings involves groups of people. There are many ways things can go haywire, and things will inevitably go haywire. Result: many bad people will become enriched beyond their imagination.

US is under predominantly failed institutions and governed by psychopaths. This group is remarkably united in desire to have and exercise power as national government transform into parts of one world government.

“At the end of World War II, stories circulated of returning Soviet soldiers, many from undeveloped towns and farms, who were impressed by the modern amenities that they observed in defeated Nazi Germany.”
Precisely the same situation occurred following the defeat of Napoleon. Russian troops in Europe were amazed at its amenities, and they were impressed by the freedoms enjoyed there. The result in Russia was the eventual publication of Turgenev’s marvelous opus, Fathers and Sons. There followed in Russia the struggle between the modernizers like Turgenev, and the Slavophiles, most notably Dostoevsky. Unfortunately, the Slavophiles won out and Russia continued its primitive ways — as can be seen by the quote, above.
