If the power of the Left was as you say, we would be under a full-fledged Totalitarian regime now and elections would be pre-determined. There would be no Trump under such a system. We have just passed through a critical period and escaped by the skin of our teeth. Illegal surveillance of private citizens was in full swing through the intelligence agencies. Government was working against politicians as never before. And we only have seen the tip of the ice-berg.

Yeah, and we passed through a critical period through the skin of our teeth with Ronald Reagan as well. And even with Nixon, we managed to just barely get by until the left decided to do trumped up charges, with the media leading the bandwagon, to basically remove a sitting president without even needing to fire a gun. And one of the people in charge, the so-called “most trusted man in America” Walter Cronkite, even went as far as to advocate for one-world government later on and makes his radical left-wing sympathies all too apparent once he’s off the air (and even when he was on the air, hints at slanting the news to the left was already present). And have you forgotten that Walter Lippman, aka, the father of modern journalism and the guy who founded the so-called school of “objective journalism”, specifically intended to manufacture public consent via the use of stereotypes? That we even managed to drive off the left despite their total control is largely due to the populace’s conservativism and the silent majority, and not at all to do with any particular similarities between parties or the media being conservative (even during the 1920s, much less the 1960s and today, it was far to the left, as were the university systems. Or have you forgotten the Free Speech Movement that was organized by communists and red diaper babies.).
