The left wants to make political opposition illegal - and if they can't do that right away they are going to make it impossible.

You guys are wrong - its a very good plan. This is what they did in the USSR. And just like in the USSR there was not a mass willing to fight back against the authorities while it was happening.

This isn't the USSR. In Russia most people lived in pretty miserable conditions and they were in the middle of a shooting war that arguably the Czar in his stupidity struck the match to get going by mobilizing forcing the Germans to take out France so they could free forces to take on the Russians.

Whatever happens in America it will be different from the USSR. It may rhyme, but it will not be a simple repetition.

True. But I never said it was exactly like the USSR - just pointing out that they are making opposition illegal - like they have done in Hong Kong - and like they are doing in the UK.

In the UK for example if you post negative things about immigrants or workers from foreign places in facebook - they can arrest you. Now they can't do that here yet but they can get facebook to ban you - or if other platforms allow it - they get the provider to ban that.

What they have here in the US is even better. Private companies do the silencing for the govt, and the govt keeps its hands clean. They don’t kill you, they just render you irrelevant and destitute.

Have you noticed that every corporate HR person is basically an enthusiastic political commissar for the left?

We’ll see how it play out.
