BarneyPiccolo comments on Satire is indistinguishable from stupidity

I have a 20-something son who basically grew up with MAGA shitting on everything. From his perspective ( and his friends), they don't see anything wrong with trying out Socialism/ Marxism/ Communism. They feel like the current system of "Democratic Capitalism" has led to the rise of vicious MAGA Nazis, and weak Democratic defenders of our Nation, with the majority of Americans suffering to some degree, so why are we fighting so hard to preserve it?

When we emerge from the other side of this, don't expect America to go back to anything resembling what it was before.

One can only hope so. What we had before wasn't great either and pretty much lead to how things are now.

Exactly. In a way, we agree with MAGA, it's time for a change. They took the initiative, and turned the country in their direction, which is evil, by any definition.

The Establishment Democrats were asleep at the wheel while this played out over 40 years, despite many warnings and steady escalations. Now, we have arrived at their Promised Land, and it is as ugly as they promised, and as a student of history, I promise you it WILL get a lot uglier, likely far beyond any of our imaginations.

We can't return to the Status Quo, because that WAS the problem. We need to create a new Paradigm, one that will not be afraid to ferociously defend Liberty from Traitors, Crooks, and worse.
