One more robbery, one more DUI death, one more embezzlement.
One More 9@p5.
And so many people will scream enough! that there will not be enough lawyers, enough “mainstream media”, enough virtue signalers, enough social justice warriors, enough faculty lounge lizards, or enough progressive politicians and bureaucrats waving their authority around like golden scepters to stop it.
“It” being what happened to the Communists in Indonesia in 1965.
“Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
I wonder just how many “Democrats” recognize those words and where they might be found, or even the context.
I daresay it’s well outside their bubble.
Knowing facts like these is actually a gauge of assimilation into US culture.
It would seem not all the aliens are born elsewhere.
