Trump Makes Progressive Democrats Go Left Toward Socialism
Vanity | 3/31/2028 | Self

Trump Makes Progressive Democrats Go Left Toward Toward Socialism.

Take Trumps putting "Are You a US Citizen" on the next census. The Democrats and their minions scream foul. Yet Trumps move lets us know how many immigrants (non citizens) that we have. How else are we to know so directly. So the Democrats move even further left.

Trump say he will use the military to Fund some of the Wall and the same thing happens. Democrats don't care if they go so far left that they don't care about the dead ranchers and the drugs runners pouring across our borders.

The only question is how far left will Trump now make them go?

And political correctness (aka Cultural Marxism) is the tool they are using because they know bloody revolution will not happen.

>>Freepers who criticize a vanity should be able to recognize the point of a vanity before they criticize it.

I did recognize it. He claimed that Trump is making them move left. OK. I get that. He even went to the trouble to call them Progressive Democrats when they are simply Progressives and infest BOTH parties. Trump is actually exposing the Progressive REPUBLICANS and making them move left more than he is the people who we already knew were COMMUNISTS.

So, calling them Progressive Democrats indicates an ignorance of the current state of Progressivism. Since the movement was started by a Republican, it indicates an ignorance of the movement’s history as well.

[Trump is] just exposing it by forcing them to show their hand.

Exactly right.

Many of them try to appear as mainstream, and some actually pretend to be conservatives. For instance one guy was saying how he is for the 2nd amendment, and a member with the NRA, BUT he thinks we need to ban semi auto’s

Right away this clown gave his-self away with me.
Once I started on him on what is a semi auto, and to explain how it works etc he folded very quickly, and all the key words of liberalism came out.
I have seen at election time liberals get a veteran sticker voting for the rat. Find out the ones I have asked were never in the military at all.

They are nothing but lying scumbags who are hypocritical with their diversity, co-exist, tolerance crap who surround themselves with their own whilst telling each other how smart they are, and how Christians, white men, married white women are just dumb.

Democrats are now openly going left. Better for us. Better for America. Because the further left they go, the fewer and lower level elections they win.

I'm not so sure about that any more. I keep getting mixed signals on the younger generation. Some studies indicate that they think they want full communism and hate capitalism. Other studies indicate a resurgence of patriotism and belief in America. One thing is for certain - the educational system needs to begin teaching patriotism and the goodness that is America. Marxists in education need to be rooted out

“Only after do communists get total power do they usually admit what they are.”

I agree.

But even then, their game continues to be a balancing act between what they do and what the public knows. The inevitable process from there will always end in destruction of the communist structure due to the public figuring things out.

In this sense, we can see that communism never has and never will truly establish itself.

I think the highest value within the philosophy of Marxism is the act of deception.

In other words, Marxism = lying.

On the other hand, American patriotism is founded in Christianity, therefore it elevates truth above all else.

This is why the current war has is shaking out to be simply a war of truth vs lies.

Exactly.

In this way they are like a virus, or a cancer cell.

The invading entity pretends to be part of the system. The normal cell brings life. But the cancer cell kills.

What’s really stupid about their method is that once the cancer takes over, it dies along with the system it destroys.

Exactly right. Communism / Marxism depend on “the ends justifying the means.” Deception and no adherence to any truth are hallmarks.

"communism never has and never will truly establish itself."

True enough. I've heard people talk about communism "in theory", but as soon as it becomes communism "in practice" it must abandon theory in order to continue existing. Inevitably it becomes indistinguishable from fascism, since government must have absolute power in order to control what everyone is allowed to have. "To each according to his need, from each according to his ability". Who determines needs and abilities? Who enforces communism? Not the individual, or the system collapses.

The Soviet Union and all other communist states are very good at the "from" part, but fail to follow up on the "to" part. Communists don't seem to see a conflict of interest when government has all the power to collect and distribute.

Some of them are going to pretend to be moderates in the midterms, and then go far left as soon as they are elected.

They are not oving toward socialism. They are more openly expressing what they want and what they would have got had Trump not won the election.

And it will always require terror to enforce.

there’s plenty of room for them to move their public image to the left.

The poster is right in pointing out that Trump makes them show their cards.

Good point. Our homegrown communists thought they had won... they freaked when Trump was elected. They had grown careless in their many wins... and now we've got 'em.

Terror and a huge military. When the Soviets “collected” grain from the farmers (leaving them to starve), they sold it on the international market to pay for their military. The military was then used to enforce communism through terror. It’s an insane circle.

Probably the most extreme example, was Albania. They estimated that at least a third of the population worked for the Sigurimi, the State Security apparatus.

I would be more concerned with getting the correct names. Researching my genealogy, I came across SIX different spellings of my last name on the US Census between 1900 and 1930!

BTW, there are only FIVE letters in my last name.

Hopefully the result of the November elections will be against their overreach since the GOP gives so little to actually vote for.

Despite what the media tries to portray, I think the gun control issue is going to shoot the Left in the foot...that is, unless the GOP sellout idiot party decides to adopt the same stance.
