    While I don't think it will happen (at least not anytime soon), what if her free-loading, wild-eyed ilk get to 50%+1 of the vote, or more importantly, 270 Electoral votes and control of both houses of Congress? What then?

    What they are proposing is perhaps the most radical agenda brought up in recent years, and you'd better bet that MASSIVE gun control would need to be part and parcel of it to ensure that no one steps out of line and doesn't play along. In any socialist regime the snuffing of dissent has to be of the utmost importance.

    I would submit to you that the remaining losing, out-voted portion of the population would be quite significant. Like 40+% maybe? That is much too large of a "minority" to ignore or steamroll. That group, when faced with such a massive upheaval of all that we know and the impact it will have on day-to-day life from these radical programs, will either dig in or (most likely) say "Let's go our separate ways". Yeah, I know it's been tried before but for waaayyy different reasons and didn't work out. It would be a demand that would have teeth (read:guns) behind it, not to mention the actually productive portion of the population. Of course that latter reason alone is why they'd try to forbid the separation; they need us to pay their bills. I can see it getting really ugly.



    I have come to believe for quite some time that sheer numbers, i.e. a "majority", does NOT necessarily make it right or proper, ethically or morally. Perhaps legally right, but that is only a façade to give a hollow element of legitimacy. No, "might" (or sheer numbers) does not make it right so everyone needs to accept that. Translated: I don't give a damn what a majority of this f****d-up country wants.

    A couple of well known quotes address this very thing.

    "Democracy is 2 wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."

    “Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.”
    Philippians 2:10-11

    To argue with a person who renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead. ~ Thomas Paine

    “The greatest conspiracy theory is the notion that your government cares about you”- unknown.

    Amen to that! One could argue that it only applies to "rights" per se, as in the RKBA or freedom of speech. But I submit that it would also apply to a socio-economic system totally alien to our country and it's rejection by a minority, i.e. it would also be a "right" to refuse such a socio-economic system.

    I think the days of thinking this will not happen are seriously dangerous.

    Look at this example. Watch and listen to the whole thing...

    https://twitter.com/nowthisnews/stat...281728/video/1

    The video was retweeted over 350,000 times in under 24 hours and was viewed over 19 million times.
    So what's it up to now?

    Now read this..... and note that one of the calls for a re-tweet was from James Corden who is a Brit AND he is one of the hottest acts out there now in TV. He is totally hooked up with the young Dem voting base. He is a Trump hater.

    https://www.dailywire.com/news/43246...-ryan-saavedra

    I think it's totally foolish for us to continue to sit around and say it can't happen when in fact that is what we have done and it is in fact happening right before our eyes.

    Cortez the Killer is right up there with Alex Jones but her following questions nothing, rallies, demonstrates, and votes.

    The question is not if it will happen. It's how soon is it likely to happen. Or how soon until it's weight and momentum reaches the fulcrum.

    When Obama got elected, someone here stated something to the effect that Lady Liberty could be stood on her head and we will survive. I remember that visual analogy. Well, we survived Obama, we even got a radical right leaning guy, but look where we are. Look what really hangs in the balance. An ageing old school, a Socialist Party that is growing and it's parent company could own the entire majority of representation in a couple of years.

    Someone really needs to be putting the pressure on these people before it's too late. Their power of communication is massive and their base will believe anything AND act on it.

    ETA: Oh BTW... for you people in GA. Stacey Abrams is going to be your Senator very soon. For that base, for all practical purposes in their minds she has served a purpose as Governor, and will now simply seek the office of Senator. She will win if she gets her name on the ballot. Chuck Todd announced her candidacy after the SOTUA.

    As far as politicians go, they are elected so the blame, so to speak, is firmly on the shoulders of the friggin' idiots who elected them. I've been rather firm here in my assertion that approximately half the voters in this damn country are the problem. Not sure what the solution is.
