Collectivism and socialism lead to pain, shortages, deprivation and misery — for most people. But the rulers (always comfortable, and armed) get to feel warm and fuzzy because miserable people are much easier to control. And control is what sociopaths like Mamdani and really all of our career politicians are after. They are twisted, sick and evil tyrants who exploit the low self-esteem and ignorance of average people. The people voting for socialism are flashing a green light for their own destruction–and all of our destruction.

Bill Maher suggests President Trump should get the Nobel Peace Prize for liberating Venezuela, Cuba and Iran, if it all works out. Leftists, of course, are shrieking. To Democrats and leftists, toppling dictatorships is not “peace”. To them, peace means the absence of dissension, and complete control over everything and everyone–control by THEM.

Leftists totally relate to and support dictatorship–because they ARE dictators.

According to the NRA, Democrat representatives and officials in Virginia are exempting themselves from the draconian, brazenly unconstitutional gun ban in their state. “Gun control for thee, but not for me.”

It’s hard for me to fathom why the state of Virginia is not on fire over this. Even the 19th Century French had the spine to rise up (temporarily) against tyranny. And Virginia was once the intellectual center of liberty in America. Now it’s the center of the totalitarian sweep Democrats have planned for us when and if they carry the national elections of 2026 and 2028. If Virginians roll over and accept this without overt rebellion, then we can expect the same lawless measures in many other parts of the country. Totalitarianism with a sneer isn’t just for California and New York anymore. America’s fascists are coming for all of us, because they assume we will tolerate and take ANYTHING.
