Socialism is not social services, it is not social welfare, and it is not democracy. Democracy strives for equal opportunity, equal rights and equal justice under the law.
Socialism, however, is a political and economic system that is about equal ownership, equal wealth, equal success and a government that controls production and resources like land, capital, and businesses.
The problem with socialism is that someone must be responsible for the equitable distribution of resources and for setting the rules that decide the needs of individuals, businesses, institutions and communities. When the government doesn't give back an equal share of what it took to those who need it, Socialism becomes Communism.
Democrats are socialiats but they hide behind names like "democratic socialism" and "social democracy." However, the agenda of Joe Biden and his cronies are leading this country down the path to a revolution in politics and economics that can only be described as "Socialism."
The U.S.A. is a Republic but it is also a Democracy because individuals have the freedom of choice. Democrats are against that freedom of choice. They stand on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). In Socialism, equality controls what you have, diversity controls your associations, equity controls your individualism and inclusion controls who you can elect.
The economic system in the U.S.A. is capitalism. It is the opposite of Socialism. Capitalism provides private ownership, free enterprise, individual choice, competition and minimum government intervention. The liberals and progressives of the Democrat Party believe capitalism breeds greedy, self-interested individuals who make slaves out of the working class while socialism builds communities where sharing allows everyone to thrive.
Donald Trump represents democracy, individual choice and free enterprise. For 45 years he built hotels, high-rises, resorts and golf coursess. Their construction and operation employed tens of thousands of people of every sex, race, ethnicity and nationality.
He paid his taxes and the IRS was happy. His businesses brought millions in revenue into New York City and New York was happy. His casino brought millions into Atlantic City and New Jersey was happy. He opened Mar-a-Lago to minorities and Florida was happy. He was a generous man with many friends among celebrities and Hollywood was happy.
Then Donald Trump decided to challenge the Democrats and their Socialist movement. Now the IRS wasn't happy. The DOJ wasn't happy.. The FBI wasn't happy. New York City tried to steal his fortune. Most Atlantic City casinos went bankrupt but Democrats convinced a naive public that Trump's bankruptcy was unlawful and that Mar-a-Lago was a hideout for criminal activity. Hollywood abandoned Donald Trump.
In 2016, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. Democrats were livid and spent four years persecuting and prosecuting the president. Even so, his policies were successful boasting the lowest unemployment since 1969. Inflation dropped to 1.9%. Interests rates were low.
Trump's foreign policies brought a end to all the wars. His reduction in corporate taxes saw over $1 trillion repatriated, $32 billion from Apple corporation alone. Seventy percent of all U.S. tax payers received a $6,200 tax deduction but Democrats lied to the American people about their taxes.
The Democrat's propaganda, slander, lies, and contempt that started during Trump's campaign became more severe turning th president into a cheat, a liar, a dyed-in-the-wool racist, a narcissist, a criminal, and the enemy of democracy. Democrats controlled key positions in the press, social media, and television and the liberal media became mouthpieces echoing the lies.
Democrats impeached the President over "collusion with Russia" using a bogus document that became known as the Steele Dossier. Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee were the criminals paying Christopher Steele $168,000 for the phony document. It cost them another $9 million in legal fees trying to prove the dossier was real. It wasn't.
To impeach the President over a "quid pro quo," Democrats employed an unidentified whistleblower who knew another unidentified person who claimed to overhear Trump threaten the Ukraine in a private telephone call. The truth is, Vice President Joe Biden had threatened the Ukraine, recordeed on tape, to fire the prosecutor investigating money laundering at Burisma, where his son Hunter Biden was employed.
The Democrats had successfully flipped their crimes and played the victim of election fraud. Joe Biden won the next election that saw record use of unconventional voting methods and 154.6 million votes. That was 66.8% of all U.S. citizens 18 years and older and 92% of all registered voters. Thousands who found those unparalleled numbers suspecious were thrown in jail. Donald Trump went on trial for questioning the election outcome in Georgia where Joe Biden won by less than 1/4 of 1 percent.
The criminal justice system has become a joke. It treats Democrats and Republicans differently. Republican President Donald Trump is facing charges under the Espionage Act of 1917 for having classified documents inside his Florida home. Democrat Joe Biden stole classified documents, sold their contents, and stored them in his garage. But President Biden was not prosecuted. Hillary Clinton used a private server to message classified documents but the FBI, calling her actions "extremely careless," decided not to prosecute Secretary of State Clinton.
With the election of Joe Biden, the Democrat's destroyed the thriving pre-covid economy, ended oil independence, and opened our border to 14 million migrants. Inflation reached unprecedented highs, interest rates doubled, the national debt increased by $34 trillion, cities went bankrupt, and crime, drugs and homelessness flourished. Joe Biden lied that he "inherited" this mess.
The nation has seen billions in damages from BLM riots and witnessed demonstrations at Universities across the nation with students shouting "Death to America" in Farsi. And, once again the Democrat's foreign policies have us involved in a war and fighting terrorism. Barack Obama gave us ISIS and Russia invaded the Ukraine. Joe Biden has given us Hamas and Russia invaded the Ukraine, again. Democrats have closed five U.S. Embassies and restored the financial stability of Iran.
The Democrat leadership has become a full-blown dictatorship. They avoid our legislative process with executive orders and actions. They opened our borders and closed our energy supplies. They have appointed themselves the authority on renewable energy and making the country dependent on electric energy restricting the purchase of gas furnaces, gas appliances and banning the sale of gas vehicles effective in 2035. Joe Biden is forgiving college debts and transferring the burden to the public, ignoring the Supreme Court ruling.
Donald Trump is running for president again. The Democrats tried to keep him off the ballots in many states but the Supreme Court put an end to that little caper. In another decision against Democrats, the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. Millions of people believed that abortion rights was a Federal Law passed by legislation back in 1973 but Roe v. Wade was never a "law" at all. It was a Supreme Court decision that the "Right to Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendent" gave women the right to abortions.
It was just a matter of time before a less liberal SCOTUS would find Roe v. Wade baseless and return abortion rights back to the States. But the Court's decision gave Democrats the ammunition they needed in their fight against pro-life Republicans and advanced their effort to expand the Supreme Court to 15 judges for control of the judicial branch of our government.
Democrats are so afraid that Donald Trump will damage their socialist movement that their politicans are campaigning on a promise "to go after the former president." Alvin Bragg is one of those politicians. Democrats are giddy with excitement that the newly elected New York prosecutor has conjured up a criminal case out of an expired misdemeanor that they hope could put President Trump in jail.
In 2016 Donad Trump paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 to settle her claim that they had had sex a decade before. That was not a crime but Alvin Bragg decided if he called the payment "hush-money" he could make a federal case out of it and find 12 New Yorkers who would believe him. Only a Democrat would use the communist trick of turning a misdemeanor into 34 felonies to put a political opponent in jail
To hold on to power, Democrats are intolerant of opposition. They use fear and intimidation to demonize and silence anyone who gets in their way. Challenge climate change and you are a "science denier." Challenge indoctrination and you are a "domestic terrorist." Challenge gender neutrality or perversion and you are a "homophobe" Challenge open borders and you are "xenophobic." Challenge just about anything and you are a "racist."
The Democrats have worked tirelessly to paint Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans as Hitler’s Nazis and Mussolini’s fascists. But it's the Democrats using Hitler's playbook! Hitler gained power by using the courts to destroy his opponents. So have the Democrats. Hitler used fear and intimidation to silence any opposition. So have the Democrats. Hitler changed social norms and used propaganda to keep the population in line. So have the Democrats. Hitler used economic and foreign policies to secure his power. So have the Democrats.
Under Democrat rule, our country is in trouble. The Bill of Rights is under attack. We have lost freedom of speech to cancel culture, political correctness and even party affiliation. We have seen citizens exercising their 1st Amendment rights lose their 4th, 5th and 6th Amendment rights to accusations of insurrection. Donald Trump has been denied his 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th Amendment rights and the right to due process in numerous contrived trials.
If Democrats destroy Donald Trump they will do it to the next Republican presidential candidate, and the next one and the one after that. And that will be the "end of Democracy" in the U.S.A. James Madison, the father of our Constitution, said this: "The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elected, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny”
Democrats are coming after our 2nd Amendment rights. They are using "gun violence" as an excuse to get gun control. Hitler used "childhood gun accidents" to get gun control. He made everyone register their guns and when the shootings kept happening, he knew who had the guns and he made them turn them in.
The U.S.A. is a Republic but it is also a Democracy because we have a right to choose. Loose the freedom of choice and the right to defend yourself against a tyrranical government and you will lose your country.
