What's more likely is the economic conditions get so bad tens of millions of Americans who currently are not dependent upon the federal government will become dependent on the federal government.
That’s what I meant by wore down. The realities of staying afloat without government assistance will get so heavy, people will simply relent.

Back up hoss....you and your ilk can't define what a woman is and can't determine what sex or gender truly is...
If there's confusion on the use of the written and spoken language it's because the left has butchered and twisted the meaning of words.Posted on 3/31/22 at 9:15 am to troyt37

No they haven’t. That’s just an illusion created by the media

No, I meant Socialism. Countries like Venezuela have their governments controlling private industries and yet are not considered Communist. But yes, severe socialism is so close to communism that they are sometimes synonymous with each other.

The goal of socialism is communism

I have no doubt they’ve been lulling/slow-walking it so as to not set off any obvious alarms but Trump winning 2016 really jacked them up.
Once they finally were able to get him removed, they’ve gone into hyperdrive to finish the job.

Millennials want it and boomers are getting too old and are running out of steam trying to stop it
Millennials want to try something different, because of the decisions boomers have made over the last 20-30 years, such as skyrocketing national debt, endless military actions, exploding college tuition costs, getting rid of pensions for younger people but not for themselves, an insane medical / health insurance system, and promoting policies that give us runaway inflation of everything except wages.
Socialism is never the answer, but the millennials are tired of getting screwed over.
The American Dream involves the older generations helping the young generations achieve it. But right now, the older generations are stepping on the throats of the younger generation, all while telling the kids that they are lazy and just need to "work harder".

. Yesterday I saw a happy domestic scene involving a lesbian couple (1 white, 1 black) with a baby. The idea is to make their agenda so prevalent that it becomes the new normal
There are very few people in this country who care about two women raising a baby.
They are VERY concerned that with tuition costs rising so fast, they will be paying student loans for 30 years... something that did not occur when tuition was much lower.
Tuition is rising multiple times faster than wages that are used to pay back those loans.

And the effective definitions of either and distinctions between the two are so fluid that any sort of an attempt at a semantic 'gotcha' when discussing one or both at this point is all but completely absurd.

It will take a solid 2 terms with conservative leadership to halt this. 8 years. And probably a non-nuclear world war.
Bingo we have a winner

And look at all those. They are all to maximize profits in the short term for themselves at the determent to the future of this nation.

I dont think we will see a total government takeover of all industries. Maybe health care and possibly some form of UBI could be possible in the next 20 years. Also market socialism in the form of worker co-ops could become an idea that the younger generation gravitates towards.

EVERY one of those groups was DEEP EXTREMIST FRINGE and not formative in any way more than an mere oddity. Thanks for playing HOLLERING BOY!
[put another quarter in for three more plays]
The only one of significance is the WU who are currently HIDDEN mainstream Obama communists wing of the Democrat party and IDing them as representative of boomers is an absurdity, Sure one, Bill Ayers, set up the communist and foreign nature of one Baraq Obama but to blame an entire democraphic? Again, absurdity, HOLLERING BOY.

Oh look, it's a Boomer that doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Deep extremist fringe? Whatever helps you sleep at night. The facts say that you're full of shite. Patty fricking Hearst even joined one of these "fringe" groups. They were everywhere.

Well, real Americans won’t give in to socialism. Against our principles and constitution.
Unfortunately, 50% of the people living here are no longer real Americans. They should leave and find a country that fits their ideals. The USA is not it.

Tell that to all of the clowns in their 70s that are still in D.C....giving us 30+ years of that "public service".

I wonder sometimes if we decent, law-abiding, "just want to be left alone" types will someday just snap and begin eliminating as many of these soulless deviants as possible.
I wont say I "hope" this happens, but Id rather go this route than be beaten into submission.
