Revolution Chatter

I sat and watched a video this morning of some Portland 'revolutionary-type', who openly said that the goal or mission here...is the abolition or downfall of the United States (as she knows it).

I sat over this for a long while.

In the background, some Catholic priest stood there and clapping his hands over her comments and in full agreement.

There are four essential problems here:

1.  In their minds, revolution is a great thing to hope upon, and will dump that evil capitalism business.  They seem to think that everyone wishes to live under a bridge, eat wild berries, sip government-procured (free) beer, and be nomads.  Yeah, it does appear to be some movie-scenario like in Kevin Costner's 'Postman' movie.

2.  With the abolition business....comes the loss of Constitutional rights (like .  freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc).  I don't think the Catholic priest grasps that part of the agenda....if he did....he'd be in fear of his profession.  Who would be the 'overlord' of rights under this change?  Unknown.

3.  The more this chatter goes on....the more it looks like April/May of 1933 in Nazi Germany.

4.  For the bulk of Democratic voters out there....the working-class people....none of this agenda appeals to them (in any form).  You are actually driving them to Trump's door, and helping them register as Republicans

So I don't see this as being some agenda attracting anyone much over the age of thirty.  In fact, this looks like a script for some 2-star movie about modern civil war in America, and a bunch of folks on 'good' weed without any grasp of the reality around them.
