We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

My DH has been having multiple problems that come from unexpected or unseen events and places.
Personally, I believe that "the commies" are putting into play their plan for the internet. it's kinda like their plan for locking everyone indoors for two years! Total control.
Some of this; most of it is clearly part of the Democrat plan from the 60's the brainchild of Ted Kennedy to flood the country with Democrat voters who could be easily manipulated to vote Democrat for the next 100 years thus insuring that Democrats control both houses of congress and the presidency. It was more clandestine back then a trickle by comparison and although it was working more and more Americans were waking up to it and voting for Republicans. At some point, Obama!, the decision was made to go balls to the wall and to just get it done, replace the deplorables.
But there is a part of this that took on a different purpose and willingly and actively imported those very people that would work to destroy America from the inside. Prior to 2016 I would bet statistically less than 5% of Americans would have said that this was a plot to destroy America. But with Trump's election the left panicked. Every government agency and NGO that the left had infiltrated doubled down in the effort to destroy the right, the MAGA, Americans and the covers were off. A legitimate and complete survey of Americans today would likely show that about 40% believe that our government, meaning each of the departments in it large and small, are actively working to destroy America. Probably another 30% or so won't say it but privately agree OR they believe it is in fact true but can't accept that it is nefarious in nature but are swayed by all of the worldwide crisis's and believe that we are just dealing with so much that it is necessary that things change. They are blind to the conspiracies, the truths, the anti-American beliefs of the far left. The rest of the country are simply some version of the women on The View and they would burn the country down just so they could rule over the ashes.
