A 1987 television miniseries that visualized the condition of the U.S. a decade after the country had surrendered to the Soviet Union was probably not far off the mark. Life in “Amerika” was nothing like life in America before the Soviet takeover. Though the USSR no longer exists, life in this country in 2022 feels like Amerika due to transformational changes brought by virulent inside influences, just as Nikita Khrushchev said would happen.
The U.S. is not a single-party state. There are pockets of resistance to the progressive agenda, most notably in Texas and Florida. But the effort

Read the Communist Manifesto and "Rules for Radicals." Hillary and Barry's favorites. THEN you will know why we are where we are.

Excellent article. Here is a particularly truthful paragraph:
“ Leftists are in the minority in the U.S. Yet they punch far above their weight politically and culturally. They get their way through bullying, crying, turning protests into violent engagements, partnering with a like-minded media, throwing tantrums, and lying in ways that a decade or two ago were unfathomable, even in a profession (politics) that mass produces falsehoods.”
All I can add is God help us.

Yes.
But, FTA - "They get their way through bullying, crying, turning protests into violent engagements, partnering with a like-minded media, throwing tantrums, and lying in ways that a decade or two ago were unfathomable, even in a profession (politics) that mass produces falsehoods."
Such is how the dims and the left operate. And these behaviors work for them. Now just suppose that the right-minded crowd were to behave the same way, how different things would be. It could still be "America".

We worried so much about the enemy out there (Soviets), we neglected to deal with the enemy within. Joe McCarthy was on the right track.
Interestingly, Wikipedia makes nary a mention about Joseph N. Welch’s (“At long last, have you left no sense of decency?”) political beliefs or party affiliation

4,
It is not in the DNA of the right to behave as emotional toddlers as the left does. We do not win by throwing tantrums. We win by letting the left THROW their tantrums, then STICK TO OUR GUNS (figuratively and literally) and do not move from our reasoned positions on the issues.
The problem is, much of the right, like a weary parent, wants those throwing tantrums to just stop and will do anything to make them stop - thus ensuring more of these effective tantrums.
We win by standing firm like a good parent does when their 2 year old throws himself on the floor, screaming and thrashing, because he does not want to bend his will to reason.

Florida and Texas aren't the only areas of resistance. The pockets are everywhere. Even in deep blue Maryland. The state is run by everything south of Baltimore. East and west portions of the state are big red territory.

# 2: You're right. Everything we see them do, from putting our free market capitalism system (which they hate) in the dirt, to attacking religion, to discrediting our historical icons (Founding Fathers, et.al), to indoctrinating our school kids, to controlling entertainment and undermining our traditional culture - is right out of the Marxist playbook. We need to start calling people like Obama and most other Dem politicians what the are - MARXISTS. Obama, working through Biden, has taken the gloves off. We need to do the same.

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

FTA: Leftists are in the minority in the U.S. Yet they punch far above their weight politically and culturally.

"Conservatives" react, and often far too late, after they've pooh-poohed those leftist ideas and tut-tutted their protests and rioting. Then they spring into "action", demanding something be done about the lawlessness. They also fail to recognize when their own corps of "real Conservatives" go wrong. (That's what makes the "left" different. They bully their electeds into compliance.) If PDT wrongly invokes the Defense Production Act excuses are made; Joe does it (twice) to support his agenda and no response. What do imported solar panels and baby formula have to do with "defense"? What next? Ramped up production of EVs for our "War on Global Climate Change"?)
People love "free sh-tuff" from the government, from tax cuts to cell phones. They want "affordable" this and subsidized that. Gas too high? Start draining that strategic reserve! Let's stop kidding ourselves. Anyone return their COVID stimulus money?

I feel as though I had written it, but I wouldn't be so skillful.
