It's being market to young people especially, these kids are comin out of school with mountains of debt and less opportunities than in the past, for some at least.

The trade offs are too numerous to list and I'm afraid long term that they will indeed win. This is way past trump. Trump will be gone in 4 yrs if he wins. What about the next president, most likely based on historical patterns will be a Democrat. What if the Dem party does indeed get hijacked by the far left crowd that can present a palatable propaganda campaign that the American people erroneously fall for???

Great question! The elite will go out of their way to make this One World Agenda look sweet and pretty. It's like the elite are putting gold stitched carpets under the feet of our youth. I have no doubt that they'll fund these freebies for a few years just to get the young kids on the fish hook. Then all of a sudden, the carpet is pulled out from under their feet and life in America more closely resembles Venezuela.


It's very much like the Child Catcher scene from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. "Here we are children, come and get your lollipops!" George Soros and his New World Order cronies pay a ton of money to politicians like AOC to sell lollipops to kids.

If you go and do some extensive research on the "promises" of socialism, you'll find the actual delivery rate to be about 10%. So take your promised pension, healthcare, standard income, and everything else and / 10.

These youngsters will eventually learn.....the hard way! The ironic thing is in 10-15 years, they'll look back and ask themselves "why were we TDSing so hard when he wasn't even the real enemy?" In other words, they'll learn who the enemy is...after it's too late to do anything about it.

Ever occur to you that when we hear someone say what we are thinking, we post it? NO, you would rather believe they are dong the thinking for us. Just showing your arrogance about conservatives.

I don’t see much daylight between Trump and AOC. Both say goofy outrageous stuff to sustain media attention. Not likely she will lose the election in her district.

And life will go on.
"She represents 1/435 the of the House of Representatives." Unfortunately you have made this statement before on this forum. Well of course technically it's correct. But in reality, this statement is highly misleading.

It's technically correct to say that Bernie Sanders represents 1/50 of the Senate, isn't it? But in reality he represents about 45% of Democrats. She is a very close associate of Sanders and his appointed surrogate. It can logically and reasonably be inferred that his supporters would also support her. In fact, no less than the chairman of the Democratic National Committee believes that this idiot is "the future face of the Democratic party"!

I live only about 20 miles east of her district. There is little chance that she can be ever defeated in a primary, and certainly not in a general election. She has raised and will raise WAY MORE money that all her opponents combined. And there's more coming if needed. That's because she has made herself into a national figure, a darling of the left. At the snap of her fingers she could have thousands of volunteers from all over the country swarming her district.

The only positive I can say about her is that she is not evil, just ignorant and stupid. All she knows is what she's fed in her monthly Socialists of America propaganda manifesto. There are two other new and radical Dem congresswomen, Omar and Tlaib, who ARE evil. They are much more dangerous than this silly little girl. In fact, I think that this girl will in the future be good for Republicans in that she is pulling the party to the radical left. The Democratic establishment has endorsed her Green New Mess. After she grows up she'll be in line to inherit the leadership of the radical part (45 - 50%) of the party. Radical leftism (or radical rightism) will not win elections.

For sake of the same old circular argument, let's take Trump out of the equation. Even if he wins, he's a short term POTUS. Let's stop focusing on the short term (I'm talking to you Trump haters out there) and think how are we going to solve the long term scenerio outlined by Chowhound above?


Problem is that too many of you are polarized on Trump that you are allowing the real enemy to systematically tear down America at the seams.


So question for you liberals who are able to put their TDS on the back burner for a split second, how does your Party fight the One World Government agenda? Do you even see it as an issue or do you simply roll over and let them ruin this nation?
These "leaders" aren't even bothering to try to hide it anymore.

How can such simple concept fly over your head?

Yea man, they're coming for your brunch. Grab it and hide in your bunker.

These silly people believe anything they are told by their very own media elite. She does scare them. They give her way more power than Pelosi does.

All she said was it's time to get some serious work done.

Wonder when they will discover this ain't their daddy's civil rights movement?

I can't imagine her making decent tips. I don't go to the bar to hear intellectually challenged bartenders sharing their political opinions. And I can't imagine her keeping her mouth shut.

Well all one has to do now it listen to the Dem party. She is their darling. Pelosi did tell her to sit down and learn when she was first elected but she was steamrolled by the squad.
