. . . is that the USA has done and is doing (in some locations) the very same things that Communists have done, e.g., book-banning and career-canceling.

Not to mention the hall-monitoring from both major parties of what "free" citizens are allowed to do.

The immigrants who came here to escape communism can't believe Americans are trying it. 🙄

I don't mind it...I've always been dirt poor staring at a chess set so I really don't have an issue with it. Nothing will change for me. 😉

I'm going to start drinking vodka 🤔

You figure it is communist for governments to make laws and maybe covid mandates? I guess THAT is the sticker for you, you don't care you have to by law wear seatbelts but scream bloody murder when a shot that saves lives it put out there.

It does show one thing quite clearly: A lot of people are just plain STUPID and PIG HEADED deliberate ignorance.

You are aware of Senator Joe McCarthy? How easily people forget their own history. Also there is a long history of American Corporations using communist tactics to root out worker unions and stamping out workers rights, with secret police and bully boy tactics. Ironic isn't it?

Time out, mister. The topic involves American censorship and career-canceling, similar to the Joe McCarthy days.

Don't you get snide with me, mister. Yes, knowledge of the McCarthy era informed my original post.

History is usually written by the winners.

I'm sure you meant well, but that was premature of you to post so offensively at me.
