If you actually believe America will become a socialist nation peacefully then I suggest you call the hotline and ask them how to reconnect with reality. Read our history and then tell me that we all will roll over and give in as socialism takes over and our national wealth disappears. Seriously you don’t think there really will not be a price to pay for radically moving America to a socialist system do you?
Similar predictions of doom and gloom were made in 1909 (income tax), 1935 (Social Security), 1964 (Civil Rights Act). We managed to survive all of those.
He told you democrats, NOT open socialist who follow Marxist principles. If the markets even think she will win the decline will begin for the election. Here is what I think a potential leftists victory will look like.
November 2020: Warren defeats Trump
One day later: stock market auto shuts down after 1000 point crash.
The rest of November: continued mass sell off with market shutting down early almost on a daily basis
December 2020: Dow 3000, major corporations disappear overnight.
January 2021: warren takes power along with the new leftist congress. Violence ensues as mobs of jubilant leftists attack those who oppose them.
February 2021: major bank failures, Big box retailers fold. General Motors fails, Chrysler fails. Ford barely hanging on.
March: economists reluctantly admit the obvious, economic depression. Unemployment at 50 percent.
April: leftist government begins to implement green new deal, forgives all millennial student debt and passes health for all bill.
May: Gun confiscation act of 2021 passes, hate speech act passes as well. Debate begins on reparations for blacks.
June: TX, OK, AR, TN, MS, AL, GA, KY, NC, and S.C. all schedule secession votes.
July: secession spreads outside of the south, votes scheduled in parts of the Midwest and mountain west including places like Indiana, Ohio, all the Great Plains states, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho Utah and Arizona.
September 2021, secession votes succeeded everywhere they are held.
November 2021: Seceded red states form a New Confederate states of America. Dallas Texas is the new capital, Alaska and Florida are the last states to join voluntarily. US Military largely moves it assets to the new CSA.
April 2022: Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota descend into chaos as internal bloodshed between leftists and conservatives becomes an internal civil war in those states. The leftist states send military units to squash conservatives.
May 2022: The CSA invades the upper Midwest. CSA forces quickly crush the weaker blue state forces. The final showdown happens in Chicago, in a bloody battle the blue state forces are vanquished. MN, Wi and Mi are liberated, Illinois is conquered. All are admitted to CSA as states.
January 2023: a treaty ending the second civil war is officially signed. Three new nations are recognized. The New England socialist republic occupies the northeast. The California republic on the west coast and Hawaii. The CSA occupies the vast majority of the territory of the old USA.
June 2050: The CSA is wealthy and prosperous. The New England republic and California are impoverished insignificant nations that resemble many of the banana republics in Central America.
This is what leftist victory will look like lefties. If you try to implement your agenda you WILL destroy the country.
I'll have whatever he's having. It clearly has quite the kick.
I'm becoming more convinced that many posters on here are unemployed conspiracy believers who listen to Right Wing radio most the day anymore and 30 years ago had no voice unless they were calling radio shows or prank calling people

Has to be....but I think there is a little more behind it than happenstance........
The places that allow unlimited white nationalist and stuff like that tend to spread around by word of mouth - also, many people leave when they are infracted of banned for something..
Meantime, Trump came out today AGAINST Globalism. Translation: He doesn't like corporations and Wall Street.
Translation to that...unless Trump and the GOP ruin too much, the market is likely to go UP if any when we have a reasonable admin again.
Duh to make short term gains then put it back in.....
I don't think Rachel can count well....nor does she or he realize that economic progress is a long term thing and NO POTUS would be "responsible" for having a Time Machine and therefore having set the course or the policies which resulted in the Obama boom and which continued until the Markets were ruined by Trump.
There is no realistic measurement whereby one can say the time since Trump implemented economic policies (effectively end of 2017) has been anything but a disaster.
Well, hope you have enough in your retirement portfolio to buy safe air and water.
Have you see the growing piles of garbage and feces lining the streets in LA, SF. Your clean Democrat Utopia is a fraud It wasn't bad enough that Democrats helped Destroy Detroit, Balimore, South Chicago, now you wish it to grow

Right, because all the members of this board live within the few square miles you are referring to....
You should perhaps read up on the de-industrialization of the USA (Detroit). It wasn't politics that hurt the Rust Belt (in general) - it was people in Glass Buildings counting pennies and hating innovation. It was Wall Street caring more about the value of a stock then the value of the product or company.
It's quite infantile to point to somewhere warm where Homeless might go and say that is the result of certain policies. Trump Central (Sarasota Florida) has a big homeless problems...because it is warm.
You point to those square miles instead of too...for example....the Life Sciences (multi-Trillion dollar) health business in MA, or the technology you are using now (thank Ca.).
This would be akin to me saying that the vast Pig Farms with ponds of offal in NC Red Country means that conservatism failed (well, to the pollution degree...it does mean that)......
90% plus of the Venture Capital (the life blood of innovation and progress) is in CA, PNW, NY and MA.
That pretty much says it all about that "failure".
Pocahontas is an offensive term to use. Anyone who uses it loses credibility in my book - it's like calling a Jewish person "Himey" like when Jessie Jackson called NYC Himey-town. It's just something that will continue take away from the point that you're trying to make. You should consider not using this offensive label/term. You might actually get people to listen to you.
Pocahontas is not what this country needs. Trump should defeat Pocahontas.
Oh and BTW, difference between that example is..... Warren isn't actually Native American.... that's actually why the joke is funny.

Make up your mind. In one sentence you Demonize "Wall street", and in another you talk about "Venture Capital" funding "innovation and progress". Next thing you know you Democrats will be bringing back the great concept of high rise affordable housing in Chicago
