With so many RINOs willing to grovel for scraps from their totalitarian masters
I think a very important point is being missed. Namely, there is an advantage to EVERY politician in BOTH major political parties to foster a socialist agenda.
Keep in mind that wherever there is a socialist/communist form of government there is also a very privileged elitest class that lives a very, very rich lifestyle completely unchecked from examination.
It has been very damaging to this agenda to have a huge swelling of home ownership and standard of living improvement among the ‘masses’ during the past several decades. Massive immigration is the ‘friend’ of ALL politicians because, if and when a credit implosion occurs, socialism, driven by politicians of BOTH parties will step into the breach. Having the ‘masses’ undereducated and all living in pretty much the same economic condition is a great benefit to ALL politicians because it insures their positions in the elitest class.
