Ludwig von Mises had the perfect quote, describing the lefties of today:
The champions of socialism call themselves progressives, but they recommend a system which is characterized by rigid observance of routine and by a resistance to every kind of improvement. They call themselves liberals, but they are intent upon abolishing liberty. They call themselves democrats, but they yearn for dictatorship...

This article includes an altered video. The article announces that the video has been altered. Still, I had mixed feelings about altering a video. But go back to Mises quote in its entirety. Democrats misuse words. The video tries to set that straight. Fair enough.
The have continuously screamed about the very thing they are forcing upon us
The Inflation reduction bill poured gasoline on inflation. The affordable care act made premiums become unaffordable.
What “genius move?”
There are a lot of lousy excerpts these days. Whatever
.
On a bit of a related note, I think Trump’s genius move is forcing the Left into defending the indefensible. The waste and fraud is widespread, but the Dems - because of their hatred of Trump - can’t agree that it’s bad and should be stopped. (They also know their gravy train may be ending when it’s all uncovered.) Team Trump is waaaay ahead of the Dems with this.
Thus far, Trump’s second term is all about using the executive power of POTUS to transform the bureaucracy that is the Deep State. He doesn’t need much help from Congress for this, but he must file appeals against unconstitutional injunctions from the lower federal judges. Trump expects what he is doing to save money and be popular. That’s the genius here.
There will always be people stupid enough to believe in Big Brother.
“...The Inflation reduction bill poured gasoline on inflation...”
Joe said there was no inflation then introduced the Inflation Reduction Bill
It’s how we know that nothing they say or do is MEANT to make sense
Abolishing Liberty = Communism
Democrats have many masks
Sheesh just read the article
The included video shows how the Democrats/Progressives sound when “bureaucracy” is subsituted for the word “democracy”.
It is a valid substitution. It makes tremendous sense. It shows what the Left is really all about.
They are altered videos, but the alteration is acknowledged and makes a completely valid point.
Many are unaware of what happened in Argentina in the past few years. It was a socialistic gov’t until 2023 when President Milei, a capitalist, took office. Prior to his election, inflation was rampant in the country—as high as 300% at one time. Since then, Milei has implemented austerity measures, deregulation, and a reduction in government spending. These policies have led to a decrease in inflation with monthly inflation reaching a three-year low of 2.7% in October, 2024. The government workforce was reduced by 20%, and taxes were lowered. Economic growth, which had been negative in the past, is projected to be 5% in 2025. The poverty rate has fallen from 57% of the population to 38%.
Capitalism works...when you have the right leader.
They say it’s only 1%, or whatever, of the budget, so why bother?
Uhm, because it’s not YOUR money? You should be able to account for every single penny of the CITIZENRY’S MONEY.
I have a friend who claims Trump spent 11 million on golf trips and photo ops in the last 3 weeks…..crazy
It’s the other side of the uniparty that we risk being fooled by.
No thanks. Enjoy your 15 response thread. Lol.
Thanks-—I get It Now.
Inside every liberal is a communist screaming to get out.
