We are on the same path.
When the majority dicides it can vote to take what a minority has by force - that is by taking under the cover of law - a country enters a death spiral. The minority producers are destroyed leaving only consumers that are unable to produce enough to meet their own needs.
It is hard to believe, that is where we are currently going.
You are correct!
I am scared and waiting for the Communist children in the White House to start focusing on our Nation's farms and farmers and start telling us the Government can run them in a better fashion.
I believe the ensuing starvation will be directed towards the conservative states to help the commies eliminate their opposition. It will have its own drawbacks as most of the farm states that feed us are conservative and thus the know-nothing liberals will have to be shipped to the farms to help out.
The resulting lack of knowledge and total incompetence will bring starvation in the US to a level only seen in the Ukraine and China during the heights or their revolutions.
