Does any clear thinking individual believe that these uneducated, mindless zombies fully understand what they are demanding? Are they aware of the 100 million dead in the 20th century as a result of establishing socialism/communism? Do they understand what they will be giving up?
When the USSR of America comes calling to confiscate your money and guns, politicize the military, tell you where to live, what you will eat, what school you will attend, what health care you will receive, it will no longer be democratic socialism, whatever that is. It will be full-fledged communism. Make no mistake, if someone else pays the bills, you no longer call the shots.
Useful idiots (as Joseph Stalin described them) like George Clooney, Jane Fonda and Ben Affleck, probably think they will be immune to a socialist/communist transition. How many films will they agree to make with a 90% cut in pay and a promise that they will be taken care of by the government? If they did become immune, how long before the village mob knocks down their doors? Even if Clinton and Sanders' intentions were virtuous, would their policies, from future presidents, eventually morph? There is no such thing as a benevolent dictator.
We are indeed, all of us, at a crossroads. The NEW WORLD ORDER is nothing more than the old world order reborn. We either give in to the covert forces resolved to destroy our nation, our freedoms and our great institutions or we demand an end to the death spiral and begin the climb back to, what President Reagan called, the shining city on a hill.

No, this is not an article suggesting that we storm the castle of government, armed with torches and pitchforks, demanding redress, although many would say it is about time. That mob shown in the photo represents the 60% of Democrats demanding or embracing communism (Politico). Spare me the usual substitute cliché like socialist, progressive, liberal or the left. It is merely lipstick on a pig.
A communist takeover of our nation has been underway for many decades. Our education system, while we were sleeping, has been busy indoctrinating and beguiling our youth, many of them now in government and education or attending Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton rallies. And we continue to sleep.
