ELECTION: Imagine a socialist America

Let’s imagine: Democrats (socialists) just won the 2020 presidential election, also the Senate. So what can we, in my opinion, expect under socialism?

Well, open borders, existing walls coming down and border guards sent packing. Illegal immigrants worldwide flooding our country, sex traffic, drugs, ISIS, MS-13 gangs among the masses. We become a nation without rules of law, a sovereignty lost, a country lost — it took Venezuela a decade to go from the third richest nation on the planet to absolute shambles under socialism (we’ll beat that by a country mile).

Corporations will hightail it out of America, huge stock market crash, our schools, hospitals, welfare system, government agencies, law enforcement will be quickly and hopelessly overburdened. For those of you who need a visual perspective, just imagine an overcrowded DMV office!

Middle class Americans now working hard, starting businesses and taking risks will have no incentive to do so because their efforts will go to others who do nothing but are very willing and “entitled’ to take a huge part of another’s earnings — yeah, socialism 101!

So, how do we gain control of a mess like this once we realize it’s a mess? We don’t! It would be like herding chickens or rabbits (try it sometime). We can’t blame others for wanting to come here (legal immigrants welcome!) but we do ALL need to use our brains and a bit of common sense, two things which have been sorely lacking, or at least, just do the darn math! Wake up, America!
