Not Tesla.

Al Gore is the father of Green.

He saw this coming 20 years ago.

I'm glad I live in the sticks. I grow a lot of veggies and I can take my rifle out and shoot deer and other game.

Biden picked the most radical far left woman to run as vice president. Hardly a moderate.. Biden is being controlled by the radicals.. Biden is fooling you . His choice proves it. Biden also signed on to Bernie and the green new deal. Biden said he would raise taxes by 4 trillion dollars and take away the tax cut Trump gave. Biden is no moderate. The democrats are all far left now . All of them. They are all in lock step. They all vote the same.They all raised their hands to give illegals healthcare. Biden wants everyone on Social Security.. Biden is a total destroyer of the middle class. Democrat socialism is a buzz word that just means socialism. Not such thing as Democrat Socialism.

Agree here. Hunters are the best prepared for this. I am stocking up on perishables and some meat also. Also planted a garden for the first time.

Our demographics, culture, crime, etc. all resemble Cuba and Venezuela more than Scandinavia.

Why didn't that happen after Biden was vice president for 8 years. And what about President Obama? Most conservatives thought he was a socialist.

Interesting, though, how this threat of a food shortage has materialized after nearly 4 years of Trump.

Yea Biden is further left than rabid neo-fascist Royalists, but that hardly makes him a socialist or communist. Ludicrous.



Again and again, real socialists and communists believe in govt ownership of ALL natural resources and means of production. NO PRIVATE OWNERSHIP OF ANYTHING. Biden doesnt come anywhere near that. Even Bernie doesnt come anywhere near that. We havent had a real socialist or communist run for decades. Doubt you can find a real one in America that is younger than 90.
You are absolutely right, which means your post is unlikely to get much traction here.

On this forum, many think the dems are socialists on par with Venezuela. Just look at how Clinton and Obama turned America’s beastly, masculine economy into a collectivist nightmare where workers owned the means of production, major corporations were nationalized, land and wealth were redistributed to eliminate the billionaires and land-owning classes, and elections were cancelled to ensure their socialist utopia would not be undone my masculine American patriots. Thank-god for all the Republicans that managed to get elected during this socialist takeover.

In reality, the real socialists are the big-business politicians on both sides, who socialize corporate losses and privatize corporate gains. When Wall St loses, Main Street pays. When Main Street loses, no one cares. Look at the billions in stimulus spending that went to corporations who used that money largely to...surprise, surprise...buy back stock!

This is my thought.
The model might be Scandinavia but the reality would just as likely be South America.

So you are claiming Biden is going to nationalize all the farms like they did in USSR and bus people from cities to work on them??? Seriously?


Current Venezuela isnt socialist, its just corrupt dictatorship. What Trump is trying to do to the USA, expand the swamp to engulf us all.
