    If you saw what you saw during the 2020 presidential election and discussed it in mixed company, you were probably regarded by Washington as a threat to national security. If you saw what you were told to see you are a fine example of the transformation of America. If Soviet style propaganda in the media and Stasi-like surveillance in corporate bureaucracies is ok with you, then a good little sheep you are. Just keep repeating the mantra of diversity, equity, and inclusion while the transformation continues.

    Don’t worry about the Constitution; free speech was a dangerous idea from the beginning. You saw how dangerous free speech was when the wrong person was using it. What were the founders thinking? Those people didn’t even have toilet paper; they were poorly educated and naïve. Washington had no choice but to step in and remove the threat that was inciting the idea that the people should decide an important election.

    You were saved by rich and powerful people that know better than the rest of us. You can stay in the herd and follow the rest of the sheep now as they are led by a shepherd that got 81 million votes; more votes than any politician in Earth’s history. Watch him perform. You are part of history now and the world is watching you.

    What would Ronald Reagan have to say about the state of the union today?

    Reagan would take a look at us today and walk off shaking his head.

    Thank you for responding. The situation in Ohio should be a powderkeg but it is not turning out that way so far. The country is poisoned from the inside out even more than before the election. The collective dumb unawareness everywhere in the nation has a foothold. It is not looking good for real democracy.

    I'm puzzled, did we get tricked in the 2020 election?

    GWBush was a disaster, starting two very expensive wars we lost, and threatening 1/3 of the world.
    Obama became the champion of remote-controlled drone attacks on wedding parties.

    I think most of us thought 'sleepy Joe' would sit there and not interfere with our lives.
    But no, he turned the quiet conflict in Ukraine he started back in 2014 into a raging inferno, wants to egg Russia and China into wars, and is a disaster for the economy as well, and for the security of the nation.

    I just want to live my life without worrying about the disruption the government can make of it.

    I didn't vote for Biden but I've seen a lot of buyer's remorse among those who did.

    We got duped!

    Interesting that you mentioned the two Bush's. The elder dispatched April Glaspie to meet with Saddam Hussein and she essentially told him to "be our guest" when he grilled her about anything but a diplomatic response if he attacked Kuwait. He did so and then Bush, realizing his mistake, acted as if he had no idea that Saddam was would do such a thing. This led to the Gulf War. Bush the younger then blamed Saddam for the attack on the World Trade Center which Saddam had nothing to do with. The body counts piled up and the two Bush's skated. We have been duped many times by Washington. Republican or Democrat makes no difference. It is permanet Washington that is the problem. That is why ther erased Trump. He was not part of permanent Washington.

    ~ Sad but true. A significant portion of American society has been stupefied and dumbed-down by public education, politics, media and the "entertainment " industry.
    ~ Those days are over . Look at Canada and that is likely where the USA will be soon ...
