Excellent...not me though. Still, it likely wasn’t a systematic look at Communism, which is hopefully what Florida is doing.

[Fledermaus]

We had Civics Class. Trashed commies.

[Hiddigeigei]

I rejoice every day that I live in Florida, one of the last refuges of political sanity.

[MotorCityBuck]

Here I am.
Just more “hamming” for the camera.
Used car salesman says what?
Trump 2024
Just for you Democrat :)

[NetAddicted]

Gonna be interesting to see who is against this bill.

I remember learning some of the bloody history of communism when I was in school but a lot I learned on my own.

As a FL citizen, I advised him in 2022 not to run for President in 2024. He should have listened.

Yeah, that was a foolish thing to do. Too many Trump haters advising him to do it, but many of us are not over the 2020 stolen election, and we want revenge. I also knew Trump plays dirty because I watched him do it to Ted Cruz.

Anyway, I’ll be his staunch supporter in 2028.

Me too.

“if anyone here was taught the bloodthirsty history Communism”

I was not taught about it.

Professor Rudolph Rummel wrote a book: Death by Government: Genocide and Mass Murder Since 1900. He coined the umbrella term Democide, to include genocide, politicide, etc.

I wrote to him and asked if communists in the 20th century had murdered more people than had Christians and Jews throughout history. He replied that was likely true.

There has been a lot of silence on communist mass murders. The same for Muslim mass murders. There is much that could be said.
