Common occurrence throughout history (Road to Serfdom) - people will put collectivists into power because of their promises to make everything fair and just. They will accept the first evidences of oppression as “necessary to achieve the goals”, and by the time they figure out that they will also be subject to a degraded lifestyle and authoritarian control, it’s too late to do anything about it.
The common expression is “This isn’t what we meant!”.
However, knowing the left as I do, they will acknowledge NO responsibility for the consequences of their choices. This is a primary facet of “liberalism”.
Exactly!
“They will accept the first evidences of oppression as necessary to achieve the goals”
That puts Biden’s “stay with us” comment into a very chilling light. The air just went out of my lungs....
