We’re outta here as soon as it’s feasible. It’ll take generations to unfuck this entire situation. If it even happens. And we’re not creating a new one to carry the torch much to my parents’ chagrin. I have zero faith in 4 or five firebrands turning this around. It’s all fubar.

with the majority of dems intent of remaining the status quo, especially with israel and russia deep in with the us, i doubt it it took generations of propaganda with red scare to prevent any viable "left" candidate to ever be elected in the US in sufficient numbers. US is very MUCH like russia more than they like to admit, just a "better verison of russia" in order to keep people from causing an uprising..

They definitely took some cues from Russia in certain ways. I would agree. They’ve slowly whittled away at our “freedoms” in an effort to keep citizens subjugated without the majority even realizing it. And if anyone starts to try to figure out who the figurative Wizard of Oz is, the man behind the curtain, and blows the whistle, there is so much propaganda ingrained in a large majority of deliberately uneducated people that nobody believes it.
