if you read that article and didn't get a since that the left really is the home of authoritarian hate, then there is something wrong with you.

Are there going to be reeducation camps too? Are they going to track down all Trump supporters and make them renounce their 'racism'? What will you do if you get hauled before the commission? Will you repent or spend the rest of your life in a forced labor camp?
If some of these nuts get power, we are headed for Civil War II.

So "Truth & Reconciliation" is going to be what the left says it is. That will pretty much be the end of free speech & freedom of the press. Then the Dems will pack the Supreme Court and turn it into a kind of super-legislature that will never decide a case against their agenda.

This is only the beginning. It won't be long before the Democrats shred the rest of your liberties & freedoms. You will only be permitted to have & think what they will allow under their Manifesto. The Constitution as we know it, and America as we know it, will cease to exist.

There has never been a bigger threat to Democracy than the radical leftist Democratic Party of 2020.

There is some hope. The Washington Post allowed a dissenting opinion to be published -


Call the proposed probe of Trump and his ‘enablers’ what it really is: McCarthyism

And will your comments made online be “evidence” that you are an evil person, punishable by jail or death?

Exactly. Our democracy is dying and the left cheers it on. I just don’t see any way out of civil war.

Default "Truth and Reconciliation Commissions? Why not just make ready the guillotine?"

Great read

https://www.chicagotribune.com/colum...dfy-story.html

"Just as Democratic Party elites and Big Tech try to stamp out the Hunter Biden email story comes another angry demand:

Truth and Reconciliation Commissions.

Chew on the chilling, delicious irony as Joe Biden tells us he wants to heal the nation while pundits of the left, backing Biden, seek tribunals. There’s nothing like punishing your opponents in the name of national healing, non?

Or is that, oui?

“When this nightmare is over, we need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” tweeted Robert Reich, the progressive former Labor Department secretary to former President Bill Clinton and adviser to President Barack Obama. “It would erase Trump’s lies, comfort those who have been harmed by his hatefulness, and name every official, politician, executive, and media mogul whose greed and cowardice enabled this catastrophe.”"



"It may be why many who detest Trump’s boorish public behavior and presidential tweets aren’t drawn to Biden and the (likely next) President Kamala Harris. On one side they see Orange Man Bad. But on the other, they see the glint in the eyes of the Jacobins and Madame Guillotine, waiting."



"the left’s Truth Commission idea is a new wrinkle in an old skin.

It comes as Twitter and Facebook act as State Media to suppress the stories about Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine, China and elsewhere published in the New York Post.

Other news organizations have leaped to Joe Biden’s defense in attempts to slap it all down. The FBI is now said to be investigating, and former intelligence officials are reaching into their favorite Cyrillic rabbit hole, questioning whether Russian election interference played a role in the laptop mystery."

I read about this the other day. It did not surprise me. Socialist regimes always punish and oppress their opponents. We have seen for years as they silenced opposition speech on campuses and in the media. We have seen people driven from jobs because of political beliefs or speech deemed politically incorrect. The socialist left is a bunch of intolerant totalitarians. If they gain power they will destroy this republic. We conservatives must get out and vote for Trump and every R on the ballot. It doesn’t matter whether you like trump or not....that is irrelevant. It’s Trump or their totalitarianism. If they win we are in real trouble. Then we must plan a resistance. No freedom loving American should ever accept a socialist America. It would be better for the country to face civil war than to become Marxist.
