New enemy or an old one under a new guise...

quote:

A new enemy might require a new playbook, or maybe just dusting off an old one.

Georgia Republican Rich McCormick has officially introduced the Communist Control Act of 2026, which would amend the 1954 law of the same name to include the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The measure would place the DSA in the same legal category as the Communist Party of the United States, potentially stripping the organization of certain rights, privileges, and immunities under the decades-old national security law.

Amending an illegal an unenforceable law is smart

quote:

What the bill would actually accomplish, even if it passed both houses of Congress and received President Trump’s signature, remains unclear. Its stated goal is to treat the DSA like the Communist Party of the United States, but many of the enforcement mechanisms once used against the Communists have been repealed, no longer exist, or would likely face serious legal challenges.

Will CAIR get dismantled? DSA and CAIR are peanut butter and jelly.

Whatever happened to the old school way of just trying to imprison your political opponent?

I just got back from the future. This almost became law, so another Republican intervened in fear it might pass and got it thrown out. It was a close one.

A better solution to create policies in the education system and other parts of the government avenues to educate the population about why our form of government is far superior to a socialist policy government.

The only reason this is an issue today is because we stopped educating people and let other faction spread their ideology without a counter measure.

"We have to give communists the freedom to take away ours. Pretending everyone is the same is more important than using intelligence and having a prosperous country. You can't be principled unless you give others the power to ruin what we cherish. You cultists wouldn't understand."

You sound like UK Parliament and UK police when they jail protestors

That's what not having a 1A looks like. They use the same rhetoric you're attempting, too

Something like mandatory courses based on the Black Book of Communism for HS and college. The infestation of Marxist in education would pull their hair out screaming.

They need to do more than “dusting it off”. But knowing the Republicans, they’ll dust it off, talk about, have a hearing about it, consider it , say they might support it, look at it again , and then go on a recess.

I would carry it a step further, making the quran mandatory reading. The left would love it, until they didn't.

Can we let registered democrats, communist or socialists live their own way and the normal people can live their way. The democrats fork over their wealth to their leaders and accept their fates with no switch back to previous system or ours. Normal people must all agree not to interfere with the destruction that party existence.
