There was no landslide for Biden, popular or otherwise. Two states bloated with mindless Democrats coloring in the "D" boxes is not a landslide.
The modern Democrats no longer resemble or represent American ideals. They are "Mao-lite".
Couldn't agree more.
They have this proclivity.....need only the opportunity:
“A wave of beating and torture swept the country, mainly during house raids. Almost invariably, the families would be ordered to kneel on the floor and kowtow to the Red Guards; they were then beaten with the brass buckles of the Guards’ leather belts. They were kicked around, and one side of their head was shaved, a humiliating style called the “yin and yang head,” because it resembled the classic Chinese symbol of a dark side (yin) and a light side (yang). Most of their possessions were either smashed or taken away. It was worst in Peking, where the Cultural Revolution Authority was on hand to incite the young people. In the city center some theaters and cinemas were turned into torture chambers. Victims were dragged in from all over Peking. Pedestrians avoided the spots because the streets around echoed with the screams of the victims.
Mao let all this happen in order to generate the terror and chaos he wanted. He was not scrupulous about either who was hit or who were the agents of violence.
On 18 August [1966], at the first of the eight gigantic rallies which altogether were attended by thirteen million people, he asked a female Red Guard what her name was. When she answered “Bin-bin,” which means “gentle,” he said disapprovingly, “Be violent” (yao-wu-ma). Mao rarely spoke in public, and this remark, well publicized, was naturally followed like the gospel. At the third mammoth rally, on 15 September, when the Red Guards’ atrocities were reaching their zenith, Mao’s recognized spokesman, Lin Biao, announced, with Mao standing next to him: “Red Guard fighters: The direction of your battles has always been correct. You have soundly, heartily battered the capitalist-roaders, the reactionary bourgeois authorities, the bloodsuckers and parasites. You have done the right thing! And you have done marvelously!” At that, hysterical cheers, deafening screams of “Long live Chairman Mao,” uncontrollable tears, and howled pledges of loyalty took possession of the crowds filling the enormous Tiananmen Square. Mao waved paternally, generating more frenzy.” Chang, “Wild Swans”
