I saw an interview earlier today, in which a TV news journalist (I forget which one) predicted that the threat of communism is going to be the central theme of the Republican leading up to the midterm elections.
This makes sense, given that the target audience is largely unaware that:
In the 1950s, Senator Joseph McCarthy led this nation through a nightmarish effort to imprison anyone with any ties to communism. This is now regarded as one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in U.S. history.
and
There are dozens of social democracies around the globe that offer the citizens extremely high qualities of life. The countries at the top of the World Happiness Rankings are, in order,
- Finland (Score: 7.764)
- Iceland (Score: 7.540)
- Denmark (Score: 7.539)
- Costa Rica (Score: 7.439)
- Sweden (Score: 7.255)
- Norway (Score: 7.242)
- The Netherlands (Score: 7.223)
Now, many MAGA folks can’t find Finland on a map of the world, but it’s that very level of ignorance that makes all this horsecrap work.
I suppose there are people who believe that the radical left is on a path to make Christianity illegal, and perhaps to install Islam as the official religion of the United States. This is remarkable for two reasons:
a) Every schoolchild in America learns about the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of religion at a very young age, and
b) This country made it successfully though 250 years with no one being ignorant enough to bring up this ridiculous concern.
One would hope that this figure of near 60% would indirectly translate into Trump’s ouster before he can take full control of the U.S. government.
We vote Trump’s stooges out of office in November and replace them people of honor. Trump is impeached, convicted and removed. From there, justice takes its course.
