Now that we can expect Progressive America to get into full-swing, are these some of the things we can expect?
  • Banning free speech
  • Removing the use of words and language as deemed offensive
  • Thought police
  • Public shaming of political dissent
  • Fake science to promote an agenda
  • Higher taxes
  • More corruption
  • Globalism
  • Unlimited illegal immigration in order to get more votes
  • Corrupt elections
  • Big tech censorship of political voices
  • The free press becoming nothing but propaganda
  • Identity politics
  • Academic indoctrination

It's kind of ironic as every dystopian scenario features these forms of government and yet people willingly and blindly follow it thinking it will all be better. But this is what Progressive America has become. Ironically, the Left will scoff at this without even realizing that they are the mindless masses.

What are some “good” things the left promotes? Perhaps if we hijack those things than we can get enough people to jump ship and save the country from a socialist decline.

Im having trouble thinking of anything, maybe someone here can.

One of the smartest things a Conservative on this site has ever said. You ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!

I'll give you starter list...

Raise the cutoff that stops salaried employees from getting paid OT
Increase border judges so that more illegal immigrants become legal immigrants
Increase credits to cover hc premiums

A lot of the things you listed aren't necessarily bad things.

I call it "regressive" America.

  • Banning free speech - If speech hurts someone to the point they silently suffer or worse, or contributing to conspiracy theories that lead to violence that should be banned. You can't yell fire in a theater.
  • Removing the use of words and language as deemed offensive -see above
  • Thought police - see above
  • Public shaming of political dissent - nothing wrong with putting political pressure on companies, or political or controversial figures
  • Fake science to promote an agenda - the idea of fake science is a right wing conspiracy because they think science means "trampling on my liberties"
  • Higher taxes - needed to fund social programs that so many rely on and make our government run for the people
  • More corruption - a mostly right wing issue
  • Globalism - we need to all become global citizens especially with the earth climate in peril
  • Unlimited illegal immigration in order to get more votes - see above
  • Corrupt elections - fake news
  • Big tech censorship of political voices - see first point
  • The free press becoming nothing but propaganda -see first point
  • Identity politics - important to understand our individual needs and discrimination aimed at many groups
  • Academic indoctrination - should actually say "educating the public" never a bad thing

I think you forgot editing people they don’t like out of films, photos, etc.

Their form of communism is like happy Scandinavia though, not the USSR.

Because we all know how Scandinavia loves banning speech and going back to old movies to edit out people they don’t like. Now that the liberals are controlling society we’ve all turned into happy bundles of joy, just like Finland. Hold on, I’ll be back, gotta go wrangle up the reindeer.
