- Pushing God to the background
Removing the phrase “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance in the U.S. House of Representatives. Did you notice the church attendance was prohibited during the COVID-19 lockdown, but demonstrations were OK? How did Christians and Jews fare under communism?
- Defunding the police
This insane trend can only lead to increased crime and violence, which is the intended outcome. That is why California and other states are releasing prisoners into the general population. Without funding and local support, the police will become ineffective. Then the government can justify a national police force. Sound like the SSS, the KGB?
- Open borders
There are two deceitful goals here. First, to increase the population totally dependent upon the government for their everyday existence. Second, to grow voters who are beholden to the government that sponsored them. This is a huge allocation of resources to illegals that should be used to help Americans.
- Co-opting the education system to brainwash our youth
Introducing the 1619 ideology, undermining America’s roots in democracy, into school curricula at all levels. Then canceling the 1776 Program trying to fight back. Promoting critical race theory propaganda. Such brainwashing was common in the Soviet Union and under the Chinese Communist Party.
- Lying and cheating to hide the real purpose of government programs
For example, infrastructure, COVID-19 stimulus. Most of the spending in these programs is for social programs and not the stated purpose. More Americans are dependent upon the federal government.
- Federal control of the election process, usurping state authority
H.R. 1, known as “For the People Act,” is anything but. It is to increase government control and represents the largest federal grab for power in history.
- Corporate and media support of Black Lives Matter
BLM is a Marxist organization committed to the overthrow of the U.S. government. The operative strategy is to divide America by race and other identities and “cancel” those that do not fit the socialist script. Anyone who does not agree to their terms is “racist.”
- Taxing corporations and businesses until they fail
Then having the government take over key industries. More central power and control.
- Taxing workers to redistribute wealth to those who do not work
Promoting the idea of “equal outcomes for all” instead of “equal opportunity” as the underlying incentive for Americans.
- Federal control of guns, disabling the 2nd Amendment
Have you heard of the Gestapo? History has shown these trends toward more central power and control are characteristic of socialism and then communism. We have a narrow window of time to change this within the next two to five years. Do not stand by and watch America’s demise.
