America is too far gone to save at this point. It'll continue to die a slow painful death. Democrats are hell bent on turning this nation into a third world communist police state, and the Republicans will sit by and twiddle their thumbs doing nothing out of fear of being hit again like a beaten housewife.

Sad but unfortunately too close to the truth for comfort. +3

I don't know how it got this since in the 27 years I've been around, but I fear it will only get worse in the future.

Yep. States only get Bluer. They've infiltrated & control the institutions & that's what did it. Would take a century or two to fix & that won't be allowed to happen. Now Republicans only exist in the minority as scapegoats. Everyone will blame Trump but it was over before him.

Yep. Trump arrived too late to fix the problems.

It’s been a slow drip, but they’ve had control of education, the media and other institutions for at least 50 years. What used to be considered common sense is now labeled as extremism. The toothpaste is out of the tube now and there is no turning it around.

I agree. It is why I have been saying for several years now that at this point I just want to see these idiots get what they want before I die so I can laugh my way into the grave. It is going to be one hell of an eye opening experience for the morons.

I will never understand why Republicans think some multi-millionaire in power want Marxism, which goes against their own interests.

Rich and powerful people don't want an ideology that strips money and power away from rich and powerful people.

The public sees them as separate. Legally they are. Behind the scenes, they're not. They've found the loophole.

Who do billionaires support? If you can answer that you'll know the truth.

I think the left in power (globalists and corporations and politicians) want a Chinese style communism which is really just a leftist version of fascism with wealth and power concentrated at the top. The average street level Dem is too stupid to see what's going on and keeps voting for the people who will one day send them to a gulag.

There should be nonstop commercials showing the data of how people are fleeing the shithole experiments of California, New York, Illinois etc etc....

“Markets don't like uncertainty; markets like actually totalitarian governments, where you have a understanding of what's out there. And obviously, the whole dimension is changing now with, as you said, a democratization of countries and democracies are very messy, as we know in the United States. You have opinions changing back and forth."

Marxism evolved many times over the past 100+years. There have come along other thinker who added concepts such as Elite Theory. I’d recommend reading up on theorists such as Pareto and Mosca.

You have obviously never heard of the term "Oligarchy". There are two classes.

As others have said, the GOP knows nothing about winning elections. You're too caught up in petty scorekeeping and "owning the libs". So by all means keep cheering along with us about the steady export of blue voters into increasingly competitive states like Texas, when red Texas finally falls it will mean the end of GOP power on the national level.

So, you are fine with a government with no restraint? Anything Goes?
