"Coercive unanimity, group think."
How...ironic.
What happens to any Republican who does not publicly suck Trump's cock? What happens to any Republican who hurts Trump's feelings?
Exactly. Trump is just a man. But the Democrats, are a hive.
If Trump gets mad at you, he'll tweet something.
If the Democrats get mad at you, next thing you know pictures of your kids will be all over the internet, and when you report for work they'll say "job? what job?"
Lefties today are evil, vicious, thoughtless human beings. They weren't always that way, but they are now. I guess Trump made them that way, their heads exploded and now we get what's left.

Americans don’t know enough about communism to see it when it starts here. Writing in the Tablet, Mary Mycio notes that we have “a certain herd immunity to Nazism and fascism.” But not to communism.
The Soviet Union fell a long time ago, as people’s memories go. It fell almost 30 years ago. That means that no one under 45 or 50 will have any real memory of communism as a living force in the world. They know about Cuba because it’s close to us and about weird little places like North Korea. They don’t seem to think of China as a communist country. A few people try to say this, pointing to the state’s genocidal wars on its people, like the Uygurs. But few seem to care.
“After a generation of forgetting,” Mycio writes, “we have few cultural T-cells left to recognize coercive unanimity, punitive group think, and other warning signs when they appear in the body politic.” She lived in communist Ukraine and watched the Soviet Union fall after 70 years of tyranny. She wrote a book about the Chernobyl disaster, which exemplified the Soviet system. “Americans and others across the West,” she writes, “have simply forgotten about it all, or never learned about it in the first place.”
As far as I can tell, most people who think about communism at all don’t worry about it. They worry more about other people worrying about it.

Lewis and Acton Knew This
C.S. Lewis knew this. Writing during World War II, he worried that the “masters’ running things wouldn’t go away when the war was over. “Those who wish for whatever reason to keep their fellow-citizens regimented longer than is necessary will certainly say they are doing so in the interests of security.” Bossy people will always have a good-sounding reason for continuing to boss people around.
So did Lord Acton, author of the famous line, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” And of a just as famous but not as well-known follow-up line: “Great men are almost always bad men.”
It’s a dark view of men in power, but then God Himself through the psalmist tells us not to put our trust in princes. The psalmist says not to do that because they die and their works will pass away, but we take from the whole of Scripture a warning against trusting people in power to serve us and the common good rather than themselves.
This is, as it happens, both a conservative and a leftist insight. Disciple of Edmund Burke or of Karl Marx, you know the modern state can’t be left on its own. It cannot be trusted always to act well nor to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens. It must be watched, closely, and all the time.
Commentary:
My Kudos to Mr. Mills, he's described what has been openly hidden within America and infiltrated and woevn into our politics, media, and education of our young.
I can’t fully agree with the idea that it is hidden. They seem to be pretty much in our face with it.
They now call it “Progressivism” because it sounds nice and positive forward-sounding and doesn’t conjure up images of gulags and commissars. This is directly out of the Saul Alinsky playbook, “Rules for Radicals.”
A Progressive Marxist/DSA Democrat, Barack Hussein Obama Jr., aka Barry Soetoro told us that under his administration beginning January 21, 2009, he would seek the "Fundamental Transformation of America" and in doing so destroy the U.S. Constitution and it's Bill of Rights in the process.
Now perhaps I might see it that way because I actually know what Communism is because I grew up when people were taught what communism was.
Oddly, the ideology of Marxist Socialist Communism is no longer hidden and is displayed daily openly within the halls of Congress by dedicated and card-carrying elected members of the Democratic Party.

Most people don't know enough about communism to know when it's not happening either.
Someone comes on a website like this trying to go back to the Cold War and putting the fear of communism into people so they become dumber, more malleable and more likely to vote for moronic "representatives" who want an easy life and don't want to deal with the US's REAL FUCKING PROBLEMS.

You're posting "evil, vicious, thoughtless" things right now.... how fucking ironic.

Bullshit.
No "herd immunity" to Communism? Holy crap, Communism was attacked and attacked daily from 1945 to 1991. In that time the US supported how many fascists? Franco, Pinochet, Saddam, the Mujaheddin, the Saudis.... and on and on
Check it out.
Young people don't have an idea of what it was like in the Cold War, but they've still be pounded with anti-Communism crap like you're posting since 1991 too.
I've spoken with plenty of people on here and most couldn't even define Communism. And that includes a hell of a lot of people who say "Communism bad".

Yep. Ask these folks to provide a specific definition of communism and they can't. Or won't.
A few days ago here, one of them told me the definition of communism is "stealing elections". Really.
The word scares them, so MAGA media uses it constantly. That's all this is about. The definition is irrelevant.
Well it doesn't include me.Bullshit.

Your way-over-the-top thoughtless generalizations are noted.
And dismissed.

This is exactly the situation right now. Biden is a communist and Trump is a cryptocommunist. The source of communism is the Eurocentric matriarchal elites, they use it in various forms from democrats to Bolsheviks, the same as the Taliban in the service of Pashtuns and Arab Wahhabis.

I'd say Trump owns YOU.
He's about all you ever talk about.
Talk about living "Rent Free" in someones head
MAGA media?
WTF are you talking about?
There is no MAGA media!
Unless you're talking about Fox News?
The "one" channel that might be considered MAGA? And it's not, it's only half MAGA, there's plenty of Trump haters on there.
But we're not talking about Trump or MAGA, are we?
No, we're not.
