How Much Worse Can it Get? - American Thinker

and no doubt under Thief in Chief Biden more than likely we will.


Things may actually get a little worse than they are now. The Democrats under the “Biden” administration have shed any last vestiges of pretense surrounding their desire to utterly remake the United States into some idealized version of their socialistic, utopian land where all the inhabitants’ lives are totally controlled and orchestrated by an all-knowing, benevolent government -- for the supposed good of the individual, of course. That the populace will then be totally and completely dependent on the government for everything is never explicitly disclosed, although this is actually the ultimate goal: unconditional control, no opposing viewpoint, no competing power, no hindrance to absolute Progressive domination.

Here’s the progressive wish list:

1. Control the media and thus manipulate the exact message you want the voting public to receive.
2. Continue to have elections, to maintain the appearance of national self-determination.
3. Rig those elections in your favor and howl with protest when you’re caught doing so. The media will cover for you and forestall any serious fraud inquires, preserving your stolen elections. Mountains of bona fide fraud evidence will be ignored and not acted upon.
4. Admit unrestricted numbers of illegal aliens, all of whom will become your voters, permanently shifting the voter demographic in your favor.
5. Admit D.C. and Puerto Rico as states, collecting four additional progressive senators in the process.
6. Eliminate the filibuster, making a simple Senate majority sufficient for passing any initiative, so you can “eliminate debate,” as one of your leading voices said so memorably.

Progressives are trying hard to do all of this, right now. If they should achieve total control, what do they want to impose on the country? What is their ultimate aim? There are several progressive goals, some more substantial and damaging than others. Taken as a whole, however, a progressive America will be starkly different than one you grew up in.

Their vision includes:

• Green initiatives, meaning zero carbon emissions, no internal combustion engine cars by 2030, no meat, and no oil, natural gas, or fracking.
• Greatly relaxed policing practices, elimination of cash bail, nonprosecution of ‘low-level’ crimes like prostitution and petty theft.
• A military hamstrung by politically-correct policies that place a higher priority on socially-acceptable appearances (“Maternity flight suits”) than maintaining an effective national security and preserving our ability to influence world affairs by dint of our military potential.
• A return to the America Second approach of the Obama era. Offer hotel accommodations, free health care and stimulus payments to illegal immigrants, while disabled American veterans have to beg for the generosity of private donations in order to be able to afford their rehabilitative care or be able to stay in their home. Think about that: Wounded Warriors Project and Tunnels to Towers depend on individual donations, while the progressives foot the bill for illegal immigrants’ room service -- on your dime.
• Reparations for slavery. A bill for this is working its way through Congress.

It’ll be interesting to see how reparations eligibility and payouts are determined. Who is “pure” black enough to receive a full share? Are Halle Berry, Tiger Woods and Barack Obama eligible despite their mixed parentage? Are only “African” Americans eligible or will Caribbean Island people of color -- like Kamala Harris or former Red Sox star David “Big Papi” Ortiz -- also qualify? The way this plays out will indeed be fascinating, although the betting here is that any portion of mixed background will receive the full payment, as long as that payment is confiscated from the approved hide.

Indeed, we are headed to the bottom. Unfortunately, it will usher in a "new" America; and it will NOT be fit for Americans............

Workers will go for more pay. Why do you expect them to be foolish and remain loyal to a company? Those days are over rightfully so.

 

[my2¢]

I'm not into these columists that pretend to be soothsayers.

 

[White 6]

IMO, it started in 2000

a choice between Bush and Gore?

Why bother?

Bush v Kerry?

a step down in choices.

Obama v McCain?

another step down.

Obama v Romney?

I'm starting to see individual blades of grass.

Trump v Biden?

That wasn't grass, that was pond
scum covering a sewer, and my ankles are getting wet..

2024?

I don't see Biden lasting 4 years, so in 2024, it will be Harris, (if she gets the nomination as incumbent. Not sure thing)

So it will be Harris v ?

Trump? Unlikely.

Who else could be a Republican choice?

Doesn't matter,

It will, again, be a poor choice that may, or mayn't beat Harris, or whoever the Democrats pull from the dregs of their party.

Joe may fool you about lasting. It would not surprise me a bit. Harris has not really impressed anybody yet, including me. At this point, (and not to be mean to either one) the only one she would beat hands down would be donald trump, because America will not take the chance again. We might not get to keep the constitution and and representative rule next time if there were a next time.

Bottom of what? Everything is on the way up.

I imagine others have made the same claim...

Julius Caesar
Napolean Bonaparte
Joseph Goebbels

and various others

I'm not making a claim, I'm looking at objective reality. Like it or don't, things are looking up here.

Maybe in lala land, but not in the USA.

Right here in Kansas, in the middle of red state territory, things are getting better as stimulus reaches the economy, people get vaccinated, and people lose their fear of going out.

Your fear-mongering is just that, fear-mongering. Nothing more.

You and looney left are the fear monger specialists. Just posting what the demrats in DC want, even if they are not forthright about it.

Nope. You're reposting some crap you were told on some RWNJ blogsite.

You're frightened and you want everyone else to be as well.

Right wing nutjob is right. Like the bit about eliminating 90% of red meat from the American diet, limiting red meat consumption to four pounds per year. I mean first of all just how do they think that would be enforced? The government going to issue meat stamps? What about hunters? Do you really thing the food industry and the restaurant industry is going to go for that? So let's see how these morons latch on to something so crazy and really believe it.

Well it starts with an article by the Daily Mail which listed hypothetical ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Then Boebert tweeted that it was part of Biden's plan. Understandable, she doesn't know the meaning of "hypothetical". Then it was picked up by other right wing activists and it soon became "truth". Donald Trump Jr. jumped on the bandwagon, again, understandable, his vocabulary is easily exceeded by your average third grader. Which gets us to the real problem. STUPID. That is the problem. The right wing heros are all dumber than a box of rocks. And the followers are STUPID, because they don't have the intellectual capability to question the things that come out of their ignorant leader's mouths.

You are delusional, but if true, then it's just Biden being lucky enough to ride the Trump wave as it recovers from Covid. Who knows how Bidens radical policies and bullcrap will affect the future wave's.

That already happened last year – what happened is Trump was voted out of office, and thankfully so.

Now things are improving.

Willing to bet your membership on whether or not Biden whether in office for 4 years?

I am. Let's do it.

Bud, I doubt I'll still be alive in 4 years.

 

[beagle9]

Because our current new generation of workers is by far the hardest working in the world, we are in good shape.

Bullshit! My daughter just took a new job in retail. The company (A major US company) is about to go under because they cannot get this current generation of workers to show up and actually work.

We can blame the government for that. It has totally undermined the U.S. labor market with it's antic's and corruption.

Why, how old are you?

 

[beagle9]

More pay equals more productivity, less pay equals less productivity. Simple economics.

Then they need to pay more. Done.

That makes no sense.

"I can't afford to pay my employees, because of lack of business. But, If I pay them more, business will pick up"

That is why the minimum wage is being raised. It will kill small business. They can't afford it. It is what this administration is trying to do.

Could very well be a long term plan in order to set everything up eventually. Hmmm.

Florida voters voted for a $15 minimum wage to be implemented....

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

...
At one time, people who could escape their Socialist nations would come to America to be free.....if you know what i mean...

What socialist nation would anyone ever want to leave?
The US is one of the most socialist nations in the world, and only a few European nations like Sweden, France, England, and Germany are more socialist.

If you think Russia, Cuba, or China, are at all socialist, you don't know what it means.
They are far more capitalist than the US even.

What’s sad is you think Russia Cuba and China being far more capitalist than the US is a good thing.

You think an extra $1,400.00 every few months is going to improve anyone's life?
