I just cannot fathom how they think there are enough of us to matter, and how we have any meaningful political power at all. The enemy is both strong and weak. The enemy is laughable, yet an omnipresent threat. Obsession with a plot, often international. Like just say "Judeo-Bolsheviks" if that's what you want to say.

    Word. American's have an incredibly distorted view of "The left". Most people think that "The left" is civil rights issues and maybe healthcare and would balk if you start talking about abolishing private property.

    There's so little self crit with westerners on why they're so threatened by an "authoritarian dictator" who died 70 years ago, and why of all the killers and tyrants in the world Stalin is the most evil and hideous and dangerous of them. They just believe it as an article of faith.
