They think they’ll be fine. And they may be right..

When the Communists went after the kulaks and the banks and destroyed the food production and the finances of Russia and left millions literally starving to death, the Communist elites were fine. They had found enough sources for interior heating, good food and clothing, vacations on the Black Sea, etc. so that they didn’t need the rest of the country. And it took over 70 years and enormous human misery before the whole thing started to topple and fall, simply because such an abnormal situation can’t go on forever.

So that’s the reason these fools who are dancing in the streets aren’t worried about their future. They’re the elite.

If you haven't seen the movie "Mr. Jones" please do so. It's supposed to be about the journalist who went to Soviet Russia in the 1930s to report on the successes of communism, and came away very disillusioned. He related what he saw to Eric Blair (George Orwell) who used it as the basis for his political fable Animal Farm.

There's one scene in the movie where the journalist wants to go to Ukraine to look at the Soviet farms there, he is given a government "handler" to mind him, the handler, while on their train ride, relates to him over vodka how wonderfully comfortable his life (as one of the political elite) is.

Ohioan, I hate to call you out but this is a time that has patriots in turmoil. We've got these weak RINO bastards bowing down, the communists proud of their election thievery and lone warrior Trump standing hard with apparently little back-up from the cowardly political establishment while he's obviously won this election before the cheating rolled over it. So far violence has been aborted despite radical punks trying to foment it. Any suggestions? Please?
