Grandpa Ranty is on a role tonight. Since the polls he used to cite all have him losing, he's starting to use the poll inside his fat head.

Did you know in the 30s and 40s up until the 50s and McCarthyism there were very adement communist in the U.S.?
Did you know during the "Bolshevik" revolution the Bolsheviks split off from the Mensheviks and further repressed the leftist white communist and merged with the red communists? Did you know the deeply oppressed Marxist-Leninist denounced Stalinism and it's autocratic authoritarian ways? So even within the deeply Communist Soviet Union there were divisions and those who opposed its Authoritarian ways. It was not one big happy unified Communist party though the Stalinist were quick to put down any dissent. Like other Authoritarian Governments Dissent and questioning of the leadership was dealt with harshly. Think about that the next time you question someone not adhering to the party line. Or questioning the party leadership. I despise an authoritarian Government. I despise the notion that an elected official isn't free to questioning. His leadership or even occasionally agree with those on the other side of the aisle. I reject the notion the party is always right and I must abide by everything it says and take a stance on everything it does. Even if that subject has no bearing on my life and I'm really not qualified to have an opinion on it. Damn a Government or party that dissenting is seen as treason against the party or Government itself. Some of those assholes need to hear NO I won't go along with this. From their own party from time to time and especially their constituents.

Good post, Polar. I agree.
The government sponsored suppression of dissent and their complicit media partners we’ve seen in recent years is one of the primary reasons I don’t view the current administration favorably.

Our economy has been destroyed The ability of a young couple to own a home has been destroyed Our standing in the world has been destroyed So young people were and could buy houses 4 years ago? 🙄 I know you don't like the current admin and I'm even more sure a good bit of it is well earned. But the housing problem is not new nor did it just start on January 20th 2021. Things are gonna have to crash and crash hard to get prices back into reality. Not just realestate bit goods as well. I remember when Ford made "record profits" at 7 Billion. Now they are making 23 Billion. So.e of these corporations are gonna have to get used to existing on a measly 9 or 10Billion again
