Wouldn’t it be cool to see what the future actually might look like?

[Short video worth watching]

Content below from "Independent Women's Voice."

As Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-backed candidates gain momentum across the country, radical policies are increasingly being repackaged as appealing, mainstream answers to the economic pressures facing Americans. Independent Women’s Voice is using a new generation of campaign storytelling to challenge that sales pitch and expose what those promises made by the DSA platform could actually mean for Americans.

Today, Independent Women’s Voice launched “Take Me Back!” Borrowing from the time-travel magic of the iconic film “Back to the Future,” the ad transports viewers into a future shaped by the policies championed by DSA candidates.

The ad’s core message: Beware of the gap between the promise and the reality.

Independent Women’s Voice is putting serious money behind the fight to preserve our Western values, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars to flood social media with refreshingly satirical ads designed to reach millions of persuadable and independent Americans. Independent Women’s Voice says it will significantly ramp up its spend heading into November.

“Political advertising has spent decades telling people, especially women, what to think. Independent Women’s Voice knows that isn’t effective. We believe the more powerful approach is to give people a story that makes them stop, think, and see an issue differently by the end,” said Heather Higgins, CEO of Independent Women’s Voice. “Socialism is being sold to a new generation with a very shiny coat of paint. But repeating the same warnings louder isn’t going to cut through. We need to be more creative, more surprising, and more willing to meet people outside the traditional language of politics. The best messaging doesn’t lecture people—it makes them curious enough to look twice.”

The cinematic adventure in “Take Me Back!” shows a young girl, lured by social media slogans promising “free” health care and guaranteed housing, is transported to 2050 to witness the realities of those promises when translated from a social media feed into everyday life. The slogans look considerably less appealing in the real world:


“Health care should be free!”
“Housing is a human right!”
“People over profit!”
“Defund the police!”

The “free” health care she hoped for comes with months-long waits, even for emergencies. The promise of guaranteed housing means she has no choice in where to live. Grocery costs are exorbitant despite a generous government food stipend. Her oat milk latte is unavailable at the local cafe because it is deemed too environmentally wasteful. And most store shelves are increasingly bare as a community without police lets shoplifters run rampant and free without consequences.

The realization is jarring, leading to a comedic—but piercingly real—ending with the young girl ripping a Democratic Socialists of America poster off of her bedroom door.

It's a good ad, but it does not really depict how gray and truly awful socialist societies are. The future it shows is too pretty, too clean, too well maintained, too organized. In reality, the houses would be covered with graffiti, the busses would be trashed, there would be people lying in the streets from ODs (just like LA, Seattle, San Fran, Portland today), everything would be broken down and filthy. People who fled communism know that nobody cleans the streets or empties the garbage regularly.

The young lady says "Call the police" and her guide says "The police were eliminated." In reality, The police will be there, but they will be working to ensure the State is everything. Anyone displaying "wrong think" will be hauled off to a work camp ... a one way trip.

Some people have to learn the hard way, as the people in the old Soviet Union learned - those who didn't want to go along with the "new" policies were killed.

What's that old saying about those who refuse to learn from history? Problem is: History and results of Communism are not taught in American schools, and instead, praised.

Don’t disagree with anything you’re saying but remember the target audience. They wouldn’t watch a true depiction of the future under communism. They are trying to show specific outcomes from specific policy positions hoping they will wake up a few sentient brain cells in these young women.

They could also do one around young women living under Islam too. That one they could be very honest in, because there are countries today where that culture exists.

Check out this link (Followed from Manhattan Contrarian's suggestion):

This woman has a lot of videos, and they are spot on.

Sadly, most folks today have zero clue about true socio/commie life. They’ll be happy for a while but some of us have seen it up close and they won’t like the ending.

“They wouldn’t watch a true depiction of the future under communism”

Yes, that was my conclusion, too. If they really showed the horribly bleak future, all the DSA acolytes would merely say “That’s ridiculous. It would never be like that.” It was intentionally produced to avoid that.

I’m publishing a book called, “The End Times”. Gives you a pretty good idea of what’s coming.

Just make an ad with this video about the DSA convention by Paul Watson. No one will want to be associated with them.

Heh, I rarely watch dog-centric movies, because the dog almost always dies!

"Old Yeller" scarred me for life!

I will say: "Dog" was one of the most absolutely entertaining movies I had seen in years!

The only future I care about is seeing my grown descendants participating gladly in Bible-believing churches.
