Americans in the 1980s understood that, hence Reagan 49-state landslide.
Selling propaganda such as Democrats are communists, blaming the education system for producing critical thinkers, and then spreading disinformation by claiming America will be great again if we go back to a selected GOP era, is 3 for the price of one post isn't it? Trump campaign nonsense.

EDUCATION IS BAD. Be afraid, keep you and yours dumb and uninformed.

DEMOCRATS ARE COMMUNISTS. Be afraid and blame them for everything wrong in your life.

MAGA. Be very afraid. We can't have American citizens striving for liberty and justice for all.

I should have known better than take you seriously.
Unfortunately I do have to take you seriously. What the leftists want to make this country into is completely unacceptable. You may not take calls for a crackdown on un American leftist activities seriously but I do mean what i said. Many in the conservative parts of this country would support that type of action. The leftists have provoked a great attitude of defiance against their plans and many people want a strong action taken against them. If you don’t see that or do not take that seriously then you are living in fantasy land. Conservative America will not just sit here and watch it all happen without resisting at all. We will eventually stand up, we are not going to let your side destroy the country.

When the Democrats walk like communists, act like communists and quack like communists, they are communists.

Who's paying $20,000 on health care costs per year? That's not even the national average.

You just don't want to face the truth...

"Everything is included" in EU-28 taxes? Nope. Housing, food, and clothing are NOT included. Housing and clothing are expensive in the EU-28, and the average income earner has to pay for those with their GREATLY reduced take home pay due to an EU-28 average 45% effective national tax rate.

That's like an average American earner ($52,000/year) trying to pay for housing, food, and clothing at a bare minimum on take home pay of just $28,600 or just $2,383/month. Rent/mortgage, alone, eats up at least half of that.

In direct contrast, the average American earner ($52,000/year) pays an average effective federal tax rate of 23.1% (10.7% income tax plus 12.4% for both employee and employer share of SS and Medicare tax).

Do you think you can convince average income Americans to bump that effective federal tax rate up to 45% like the EU-28? I don't think they'll go for it, especially with the extreme shortage of affordable housing in the US due to having to compete with 22 million illegal aliens (Yale/MIT study) for low-cost housing.

That's what happens when we DON'T have capitalism. So WHY advocate we go in that same direction, on steroids? That's just stupid as hell.

I think if we put a gun on their head, they will be convinced easily.

With all due respect you are incorrect. Read the platform of the Party of Democrats. Don't be afraid to educate yourself and learn about it.

Peace.
