Leftards are sooooo easy for the Deep State to manipulate! Mushy brains and no real values are the absolute delight of propagandists to play like the chumps the Leftists NPCs truly are!
In the Spiked article there’s a link to an essay how explaining how extreme socialism was tried in Sweden in the 1970s and how it almost ruined the country:

“But Sweden learned in the 1970s. You can pick one: a big generous welfare state or you can make the rich pay for it all. You can’t have both. If you have a universal generous welfare state, and make the rich pay for it all, they will stop being rich. They will move. They will stop starting those businesses, the Ikeas of the future, and will move. Instead, you have to get most of the taxes from low- and middle-income households. That’s the dirty little secret of the Swedish welfare state.”
“We have been socialist in Sweden and we have been successful but never at the same time.”

I met the hardcore TDS’ers in your life that you often speak of. Where? In my own hospital room, in the bed next to me was a man who had a hip replacement, replaced. He was a somewhat frail 84yo. So we had a chat about how everyone wants to see Ohio State lose, and misc. small talk. But the next day, his wife brought in some newspapers for him to read: yeah, actual newsprint… and it set him OFF!
We’re both in our hospital beds recovering from somewhat major surgeries … and he starts to GO OFF on Trump. He started rattling off invectives and hopes that Trump dies. He said;
“Trump is a rapist
Trump is a pedophile … like his pal Epstein
Trump is a crook
Trump is a thief
Trump should have died, too bad that kid was a poor shot
Too bad that guy got caught before he could shoot him on the golf course”
He went on and on … talking to no one in particular. Perhaps he was trying to get a reaction (confirmation) from me … but he wasn’t gonna get it.
This points out everything you’ve said about your TDS blind spot friends … these people are NUTS. Hey old man! You’re in the hospital, recovering from surgery! Why does Trump occupy a single brain cell in your head. SMH
When did normal become far right ?
Wayne, incase your question wasn’t rhetorical,,, “When did normal become far right ?”
it happened in Canada when the LPC moved so far to the left, as to consume the radical ideas and policies of the NDP(which normally would never be elected). In order for those whacky leftist policies to be accepted(think glowball warning, think trans gender, unrestricted migration, antifree speech laws), and for “the Turd” to be thought of as normal, the right had to be demonized. This was easy to do with leftist(who come from 4 years of mind programing in J-school) working in newsrooms across the country, and with their willingness to normalizing “the Turd”,,, they were financially rewarded, and the push to normalizing NDP ideas became stronger.
It was a lesson, well learned in Canada, after watching the msm during the obama years.
Obama, Kenya’s turd!
