Are the people enough? These Communists don't want the US to have a real Democracy anymore. That much is clear. I had the misfortune to listen in on the most recent Democratic debate and what I heard shocked me. These people are not just crazy, but they are full on Communist. Warren has recently signed on to AOC batshit Green New Deal, which is a thin facade for a full Totalitarian takeover of our economy and system of government. I don't think the silent majority really understand how much peril there is for our way of life and how radical these lunatics on the left are. I'm worried that the majority remains mostly silent and censors themselves at work and with their friends. I see it all the time. I have resolved not to censor myself and I get two kinds of responses to me: 1) a knowing look of approval without actually saying anything controversial back or 2) polite disagreement, but letting me rant, because they know I'm Cuban, and as one of their supposed aggrieved minorities, I must be allowed to talk. I have to tell you that both postures irritate to me to no end. The first response worries me, because good people feel they have to self-censor or their will be a social consequence. The second response comes from liberal friends of mine, but I find it terribly condescending. I'd feel better if they wouldn't give me a pass because I'm Cuban and instead debate me full on, so that I can debunk all their bullshit with facts. But hey, that's the country we live in now. The culture war so far has been a loss for the conservatives in this country. Trump and the Supreme Court are the bright spots for us conservatives.
