The Communist Party of the Soviet Union gained and kept power by lying to their people, to their enemies, and to themselves. It worked until the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl went blooey. Gorbchez later observed that in the aftermath of the Chernobly disaster, the Soviet people figured out that they had been lied to all along. Soon thereafter, the Soviet Union ceased to exist.
The Democrats are following their blueprint, but with social media these days, even with Nazi and Soviet level of repression, the lies have a much shorter half life. Their whole political fantasy will go blooey sooner rather than later.
Liberty Strong and ride the storm out.
He thought he could tweak the system with his ‘’glasnost’’ and ‘’perestroika''. He thought if you could tell a few little truths the people would be satisfied with that and with enough vodka and smokes they'd be cool. He didn't bank of the Russian people figuring out that if it was a truth that if Stalin had been said to have killed thousands, he could have killed hundreds of thousands. And once that was admitted to as truth it was no stretch to realize he killed millions. Once that was known as the truth everything else about the rot of the Soviet system came to light. Dictators always end up too smart for their own good and it is good that, in the end, they are too smart. Dictators are really stupid, ultimately.
The cycle is much shorter these days. It took the Soviet Union 70 years to implode. The Democrats? They could collapse in 7 months. The wheels are coming off the Biden-Pelosi toy wagon a little bit every day.
