“..Thanks to our own democrats and other unhinged leftists we now can have the exact same experience right here in our own home towns....”

It goes back quite a ways though. The generation that had first-hand experience of some of this crap are now long gone. Many today have not learned the lessons of our forefathers of the days gone by.
I posted this on another thread, but worth reposting here:

“My grandfather was a finish carpenter & cabinetmaker back in the 1920s.
He employed two other men in the trade as well. It was a thriving business in its day.
My dad was just a very young boy back then, but he would help out in the shop by sweeping up sawdust, picking up debris, tools, etc....whatever a little fella could do to help and not get in the way to earn a nickel/week.
My grandfather had almost $5000 cash in the bank (everything was done with cash back then) that he used to further his business: payroll, materials, additional tools, etc....whatever was needed to keep the business going.
When the “crash” hit in ‘29, the bank permanently closed its doors overnight and posted armed guards to hold the people back. It never reopened, and he never got a single red penny of his money back...not a penny. It emotionally and financially destroyed him, not to mention the two families that depended on that business for income.
My dad NEVER trusted a bank from that day forward....ever. The whole time I was growing up, he’d literally stash paper money in a mattress and coin money would be sealed up in mason jars that he’d actually bury in the backyard. He kept a little hand-drawn pencil map as to where each jar was buried. My poor mother had an awful time with him in that regard. I can remember when she finally convinced him to dig em all up because they wanted to buy a nicer house. Our backyard looked like a prairie dog town when he was done digging em all up....I’ll never forget it...LOL
He told me the whole time I was growing up to NEVER trust a bank, not even trust their clock on the outside of the building, even if the whole U.S. government treasury stood behind it. He’d always say that anybody that would trust a bank with their life savings was outright utter fool. He went to his grave with that mindset.....I always thought he was just crazy.
Maybe he wasn’t so crazy after all...”
