Many of the younger people in America today have been sold a false bill of goods
When you couple worthless college degrees with young people who were awarded “participation trophies” rather than learning that life is a competition, you have a population with unrealistic expectations. Then, of course, when the worthless degree was accompanied by brainwashing about America and capitalism being bad and socialism being good, what can be expected?
Many of the younger people in America today have been sold a false bill of goods and they bought it hook, line, and sinker. Now they are buying the false narrative of these communists representing themselves as socialists and the promises of things these charlatans can’t possibly deliver as Zohran Mamdani and his voters are finding out in New York City. The wheels are coming off the Mamdani wagon of socialism in a very visible way.
Being the optimist that I am, most Americans know the horrors of communism and are not fooled by the clown show, cutesy videos, and flimflam talking points being use in the campaigns by these socialist haters of America. Americans have rejected socialism as far back as 1622 when the Pilgrims found that the “warmth of collectivism” simply doesn’t work because of the inherent flaws of human nature. No one has ever been smart enough to make Marxism, socialism, or communism work; it always fails at the cost of tremendous untold amounts of human misery.
Having said that, it will be up to patriotic Democrats, patriotic Republicans, and patriotic Independents to beat back socialism again as the Pilgrims did in 1622, our great grandfathers did in the 1920s, our grandfathers did in the 1950s, and as we did in 2024. That is our job in 2026.

However, no matter what, after November 3, we will have the government we deserve.
