What part of what I said are you disagreeing with me on?  The Constitution is what allowed us to be exceptional.  It is true that it is being shredded but that was what gave us the edge in the first place, and still would if we followed it.

That’s me. They’ve overshot the price point with me, I will NOT pay extra. Too many alternatives like Netflix. Free market competition is grand. Until they all merge under google of course.

China needs a market to sell to.  The US has been that market, and we've let the Chinese exploit it, steal from us and place heavy tariffs on our goods.

 Now that the tables have turned, they don't like it.  Their economy can't survive without selling to us.

 Now, the real sad part.  We have many in our government that are bought and paid for by the Chinese.  These scumbags will stop at nothing to further sell us out and make the US dependent on China.

Horowitz: The CDC confirms remarkably low coronavirus death rate. Where is the media?

Things remained relatively stable because free market capitalism was the basic system, even under the Democrats. Economic collectivism was implemented only in certain areas and in a limited fashion and the traditional establishment Democrat was never a full fledged economic collectivist. If they had idealistic leanings in that direction, they were not able to implement it.

What we see now that’s different than ever before, is the Democrat party taken over by radical leftists, and by that I’m not referring to identity politics or social liberalism. I’m referring to economic collectivism: Forced redistribution of wealth, power and land on a mass scale. A large part of the Democrat party now embraces this.

We have not had this til now. In the 60s there was an importation of “neo-modernists” (re-packaged Marxism) into the universities. The kids taught by those professors are now mature and have jobs in government and the DNC, and the young generations since have been taught that the U.S. free market system is exploitive and evil, while not being taught the evils of Stalin, Mao, and Kim Il-sung, so those who would vote for extreme forced economic collectivism are no longer a fringe minority.

This was never the case even as late as 2008. Obama dared not run on an openly socialist platform, but in 2020 when Bernie Sanders did, he almost beat out Biden, and when he dropped out, he actually announced publicly that Biden would implement his own socialist agenda.

This is not the so-called socialism of Western European countries, with their universal healthcare propped up by an underlying capitalism. What Sanders and radicals like Warren want is to do away with capitalism completely. Or more accurately, put themselves in complete control of it. There were early hints that the Democrat party was headed in this direction. Back when Billary was in the White House, Mrs. Clinton announced that the government should nationalize the gas industry, and of course there is her infamous healthcare plan.

That’s what they do:  “Plan” the economy. In her case she was starting with just portions of it, but when you want to control all of it, it’s called a “planned economy” (economic collectivism) and what it means is simply this: We know better than you how to run things. We will design the economy from top down and force it on all you little people.

For the first time ever in our history there is the possibility that such people will take over and try to implement massive redistribution of wealth, power and land. Of course this is always sold to the public as redistributing it to the little people but it always is actually redistributed to them, throwing just enough crumbs to the little people to keep them docile. Even so it requires restrictions on liberties such as the first and second amendments.

Trump caught and reversed the slide into leftism which is the real reason he is so hated, while the public is told fake reasons such as he’s a racist and so on.

So yes, this year’s election is different from all others, and the turning point in our history. The left is desperate to never again lose the momentum they had prior to Trump. If they win this year, you can expect rapid, extreme measures to secure all future elections. There will be a large push to abolish the electoral college, open up the borders, give convicted felons the vote, and permanently allow absentee voting.
