I think that the left has encountered so little real resistance to it’s policies and legislation that they’ve concluded that the people really don’t care and that the time was right for them to finally start making their moves to socialize the country and run it as THEY see fit.
Of course, winning the last election as they did, just reinforced that thinking.
The problem is, they haven’t been listening to the people and didn’t count on people finally waking up and smelling the coffee.
Where they’ve made their mistake, I think, is in not more completely disarming the populace. They aren’t going to be able to push through what they want without a lot of resistance from the grassroots and armed resistance at that.
And I also think that a lot of people who were on the fence have been pushed over the edge, but not in the direction the left wanted them to go.
It just never occurred to them that we DON’T want someone protecting us from ourselves, and running our lives for us, and making our healthcare decisions for us, and bailing out deadbeats, and handing out our hard earned money that they taxed us our of, etc...
You’re right about the people on the fence being pushed the wrong way for the leftists and it seems there are many.
Those I’s that wanted change are getting it but it’s not to their liking or the change they expected, he’ll not get those people back.
