Hypothetical Situation Socialist Bernie Wins !

Hypothetical Situation Socialist Bernie Wins !

So does our military take orders from a devout socialist/communist?

Where do they draw the line? We know the road to full-blown communism is just a hop-skip-and a jump from socialism.

We know socialism is a destroyer, just look at Detroit, Chicago, Wash D.C., any socialist country, socialism does not work. But it doesn't matter after you've given away all your Freedoms.

How many Freedoms and Rights do we give up before we say "No More."

We are the last Free nation on earth that is still "armed". And when the socialist/communists remove the 2nd Amendment the other Amendments will be removed/re-written as they see fit.

The Constitution of the United States is finished when socialism takes over.

So when do we start defending it?

Do we allow the socialist/communist takeover of the United States or just standby and watch the destruction?

We raise the black flag...best head to Texas first though.

I believe that is a good location to save the Constitution from...a lot of Patriots, good people.

Biggest problem I see, TS, who will lead...who will be the Patrick Henry, George or Thomas?

I am of the firm opinion that the rank and file already exists...and is ready and waiting for the call.

Firstly, I don't see how Sanders can win at this stage.

At best I see him as the "Anti-Ross Perot".

If Sanders rolls as an independent, and splits the Democrat vote for a Trump victory...much like Perot split the GOP vote with Democrats/Clinton stealing a GOP Presidential victory in 1992.

But IF Sanders somehow managed to win, he would be equally reviled across BOTH Parties' entrenched, bought, and sold candidates.

I don't see how Sanders would be able to achieve much.

He certainly and genuinely seems like the kind of guy who would find presidential findings and executive action abhorrent, but you never know once someone gets in the big chair.

I'd like to think Sanders would spend 4 years vilifying everyone from either party who accepts special interest money.

But I don't think he would actually achieve much of anything, even that.

I reckon it would be 4 years of gridlock, stonewalling, accusations, and counter accusations. Political trench warfare with little movement in the FEBA.

In my opinion, Sanders would be far less dangerous than Hillary.

Just my best guess.

What's interesting WAY down here is that while the default setting on many is Clinton/Female(thankfully they can only watch and not vote) the educated liberals I know here(who somewhat understand the problems with the US campaign finance process) see Clinton for what she is, stripper glitter sprinkled on a pile of toxic poo.

Trump will be a massive profit centre for non-US western media....like a Howard Stern of politics.

Even those who hate him, especially those who hate him, will be tuning in constantly.

Well, I think there needs to be a serious conversation about that.

More in private avenues versus this venue. I have already heard some things at the ground level that lead me to believe we will have some serious issues.

Remember, other than the Flag officers in our military...........The left has no maneuver element.

1 - The possibility of Mr. Sanders being elected is .00001%.
2 - If he were to be elected, he still must deal with the inertia of both houses of Congress and a Supreme Court that -- at least so far -- is not on a par with that of Venezuela (where the judges make a phone call to the Presidential Palace before rendering a decision).

They're working on it via importation. Pseudo-zombie hoards (mobs) help by distraction/deflection. How many gang members have gone through basic/boot training? Or the military academies for that matter?

Clinton, Sanders, or Trump, will it matter?

Observing this revelatory election cycle is exposing something much deeper and possibly dangerous in the American electorate, the outright enraged refusal to follow established political parties and their appointed leaders. Could this lead to insurrection, armed conflict?

Speak to any American about political leadership of either party, the answer most commonly stated is distrust. This loss of faith transcends all races, political affiliation, and socioeconomic status. The distrust for government is palatable.

According to this Pew research poll, trust in government since 2007 averages just 19%. The 2016 US population is 322,762,018. The presidential election of 2012, saw 57.5% of the eligible voters cast a ballot, 126,849,296 votes were counted. in 2004, 60.4% cast a ballot, and 2008, 64.3%. In just 8 years the vote has declined 6.8%, or by 2,597,543 votes. Voters are disengaging.

Race is a huge issue this cycle, and its turned violent.

Where political correctness was once equated with equality and the goal of Civil Rights era-Johnson’s great society, we now have a one-sided seesaw of race based political agendas establishing such things as “safe zones” on college campuses for black only cafes or spanish catena’s, to counter a supposed heavy lift of white privilege, that needs to be “checked at the door.” Segregation initiated by racial minorities that seek equality through segregation is nonsensical and confrontational.

As exampled by “black lives matter” when “blm” assaults speaker’s podiums and attendees at political events with impunity, and its leaders are openly planning attendance in Cleveland this summer for the GOP convention, the divide becomes a heavy lift of appeasement, accommodation, and weighted political correctness, a counter reaction of equal force is inevitable.

I would say to the point about Rome...the FF's considered that carefully...there will be no need to read the will of our Dictator...we are not Rome...and any character playing 'Antony' will suffer the fate of socialism / communism in America...that of the fate we leveled upon nazism. No wiggling one's way out on this score.

I am with you on that, but then again a large number discounted Trump.
