    I can’t decide if I want him to enact all his communist/socialist policies and give American’s a first hand experience of why Communism is terrible, or if I want common sense to prevail and his communist/socialist policies are stopped before he can destroy NYC.

          I’ve never heard of an atheist Christian Nationalist before. How do you deal with the cognitive dissonance?

      Yeah man, reverting back to the old stabilized rent control policies and opening a city owned wholesale grocers, and making DoorDash pay minimum wage. Socialism as in Norway, not Stalin.

      Stalin was the dude who purged all of his dissenters from his party, implemented mass deportations, and threw people in lawless gulags. Kind of like America’s current president.

        It should be pointed out that Norway is not socialist. It’s a social democracy/capitalist country.

        I’m sure the people that fled communist countries because of how bad communism went, destroying the countries in the process, would disagree with you.

        Just the general racist “take all the white mans stuff and give it to minorities”, “seize the means of production” garbage. You know, communism things.

                  If you read carefully, Mr. Doctor, I’m deliberately addressing the rest of the articles only. I hadn’t even watched the video because I block Twitter. I’m calling out your sources for the sensational and loaded message that they’re sending out and that you seem to reference without pause instead of, you know, linking direclty to the video itself.

                  Unfortunately for you, he makes no metion of white people specifically because (surprise!) the video is a dud. But it’s telling that that’s what your mind accepts based on these headlines alone from dubious sources and even dare to double down on it.

                    Oh so you’re not even watching the videos while replying half a dozen times about the content of them. Explains a lot.

                    See ya.

                    He does specifically say white people btw.
