America’s descent into totalitarianism advances unabated
American Thinker ^ | 1 Oct, 2021 | Terry Paulding

The Democrat party’s ability to weaponize COVID is something unparalleled in American history.

If you look around you can’t find a single thing America is doing right, unless “right,” means to deliberately destroy the nation. In light of the comprehensive assault against Americans, we who notice are told we’re crazy, we should ignore it, or we’re “canceled.” Yet the obvious trap that’s been strung leads inevitably to totalitarianism unless we break free from blind complacency or fear.

Energy policy threatens our gas supply and the government, simultaneously heightening COVID fear and promising to keep us “safe,” is abetting rapid inflation.

Commerce is a good indicator something’s wrong. There’s a flotilla of container ships languishing off Long Beach, California, our busiest port—and it turns out that this was already a problem in January:

It can take 8,000 trucks to haul the cargo away from a ship, Marine Exchange executive director Kip Louttit said in March. When all those trucks hit the road, there aren’t enough available when dockworkers are trying to unload the next ships in port.

Nine months later, nobody’s addressed this issue adequately, except that Costco’s again limited toilet paper purchases.

The shortage of hogs, leading to a lack of product and increased retail cost, is just one example of our broken supply chains. The industry can’t find workers, can’t transport products, and feed costs are sky-high. I talked to the butcher at Whole Foods, who said he “had no idea” when his supplies would be replenished—maybe in a few days, maybe not.

The labor market is a mess with simultaneously high unemployment and high worker demand. We’ve trained the entire service sector to be overly fearful of COVID, and many can’t rely on sending their kids to school. Government subsidies encouraged unemployment.

When people are starving, at least they can be thankful that the businesses were shut down for vax noncompliance.

What are Republicans in Congress doing? Picking fuzz out of their collective navels?

“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” Benjamin Franklin

Wisdom from one of our Founding Fathers.

The essential liberties are fast vanishing, yet we do not gain any measure of safety.

Another gem of wisdom, from source uncertain - “In the end, you shall lose every thing you hold of value in this world, your wealth, your possessions, your freedoms, your friends, your family, your youth, even your life itself. But before you surrender them, make those who try to take them from you pay an extreme price for every little scrap they grasp for.”

When people are starving, some richard head in the government, will tell them to look on the bright side. At least they will lose weight. What skanks.

It’s what China wants. Those who are currently “running” our nation are owned by China and do its bidding. Our allies no longer trust us. China will soon isolate us and make us irrelevant. China wins.

Thanks, I saved that.

Stolen elections have consequences.

Make those responsible for the woke, clown world we must now endure pay the ultimate political price by being voted out of office.

I'm talking about RINOs. Let the 2022 primaries be a tidal wave of karma.

Of course not! They're enjoying the perks of their station in the Swamp.

You didn't think they were working for us, did you?

Glad I live in flyover country where I have local farmers to supply me with Pork and Beef. My freezer has plenty. I feel for those in cities, somewhat, but a lot of those people voted for and are allowing this to continue. It’s almost reached the point of no return.

“If you look around you can’t find a single thing America is doing right, unless “right,” means to deliberately destroy the nation.“

It takes both parties and nearly half the population to achieve this.

It will continue until the rest decide to fight back. For real.

Old Yakov Smirnoff joke about his dad buying a new car:
Dealer: OK, you got it. It will be here 5 years from today
Dad: Morning or afternoon?
Dealer: What difference does that make?
Dad: I got the plumber coming in the morning and don’t want to miss him.
