That’s what people thought before the first Civil War came about too. It’s funny how things you don’t expect to or say will never happen always have a nasty way to come to pass.

Maybe...doubt it in this case. Too many wouldn't mind full-blown Communism here today. As long as it meant a guaranteed job/salary/retirement no matter what and everything else free. Americans aren't what they use to be.

“Too many wouldn’t mind full-blown Communism here today. Americans aren’t what they use to be.”

BS. About 30-40% who are useless eaters in our society maybe. That is where you are sadly mistaken. California where you live is a shell of what it was once. Your state is a basket case and serves as a reminder to the rest of the country of what not to become. This country may very well fragment like the USSR did to avoid civil war which is rapidly becoming a certainty because of the deep ideological and cultural divides we have.
