I hope you realize I wasn’t intending to be harsh. What I described is an epiphany we all have at some point or other. Perhaps because I have spent more time than most around leftists (was one once - of a sort) it happened for me earlier than for most.
The objective of the left is a totalitarian “welfare” state. They will stop at absolutely nothing - unless they think they can’t get away with it. I’m afraid that there is going to be major “civil unrest” within the next decade. If that happens, we can give them no quarter.
