massive amounts of liberal propaganda. "All for the purpose of making the talker more important than the doer."
That is indeed the sum of the socialist project. Penetrate the obfuscation, and all socialism is is criticism, condemnation, and complaint. It works as long as people take it seriously, and the great danger is that it will take itself seriously past the point where the military discipline can function under it. At which point constitutional crisis would ensue.

Socialists prattled about a "constitutional crisis" during the Nixon Administration, but that is and always was eyewash. Nixon was a patriot who never had the first thought about seizing unconstitutional power. The proof of that is not only that he meekly resigned when impeached (before any Senate trial), but that Nixon refused to do in 1960 what Gore did in 2000 and contest the results of the election. Nixon had less opportunity perhaps than Gore, since he would have had to contested more than one state - but nevertheless Nixon did have an argument, and declined to make that argument for the good of the country.

When I speak about a constitutional crisis, I mean the real thing, complete with the imminent possibility of civil war. I am talking about the possible interruption of the flow of fuel, food and other supplies that we have taken for granted all our lives. That is the sort of thing that can come if the military is abused again the way it was abused by the socialists during/after Vietnam.
