Victor Davis Hanson accurately describes what is going on now with Biden, the lamestream media, and the US as compared to Brezhnev's Soviet Union: Our Brezhnev, our Pravda, our Soviet Union... (townhall.com) By Brezhnev's late 60s and early 70s, he was too ill to travel abroad or make public appearances. Indeed, his debility left the Soviet Union without a real leader for the final six or seven years of his tenure. Brezhnev got away with it because the Soviet state-controlled media doctored photos and videos to attest to his supposedly vigorous health and constant hands-on involvement. "Journalists" sent out false communiques. They spun narratives that Brezhnev was robust, hale, and working long hours on behalf of the Russian people. Any dissenting journalists who sought to report the true, sad state of affairs were in danger of losing their jobs, freedom -- or even their lives. Instead, the "reporters" of Pravda ("Truth"), the official print megaphone of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, wrote lies about Brezhnev's busy workdays. Pravda's handlers spun fables about the respect (and fear) the rest of the world held for such a dynamic leader -- even as Brezhnev became an ill virtual recluse.
Except for how the top 20 stories on any site are about Biden’s decline, his own party is publicly poo-canning him, and the state of the country is essentially the exact opposite of the Soviet Union’s end, this is exactly the same.
and you won't get hauled off to the gulag for daring to criticize Biden. Other than that, virtually identical. Genius observation by the author of the article.
Well, the OP will surely trigger a few folks on this board. The similarities are extremely concerning to any objective, right-minded American.
Not gulags, but conservatives have been hauled off to prison as political prisoners as the FBI KGB raids homes threatening entire families at gun point without being given their constitutional rights of due process. Just because it's your side doing it and it doesn't affect you, doesn't mean it's not being done and won't continue to happen on bigger scales with Biden or continued with whomever is Biden's replacement after the democratic socialist communist party figures out a way to pay off the Biden crime family, err Biden. The myth is Biden is a decent man which he is not and has never been.
Why can't these right wing nuts admit Victor Hanson is well past his prime and ignore his senile musings.
Actually that's what we can expect during a second Trump term. Trump and the Heritage Foundation through its Project 2025 have made no secret that one of their goals is to turn the FBI into Donald Trump's personal police force and if there is any doubt as to what Trump would do with that power keep in mind that he is obsessed with retribution. From an analysis of Project 2025: Give Trump power to investigate his opponents: Project 2025 would move the Justice Department, and all of its law enforcement arms like the FBI, directly under presidential control. It calls for a “top-to-bottom overhaul” of the FBI and for the administration to go over its investigations with a fine-toothed comb to nix any the president doesn’t like. This would dramatically weaken the independence of federal law enforcement agencies. “There’s going to be an all-out assault on the Department of Justice and the FBI,” said Galston, of Brookings. “It will mean tight White House control of the DOJ and FBI.”Summary of Project 2025 Trump Ally Exposed for Horrific Hit List of Political Enemies
Ya, but if we elect the rapey traitor who accepted help in an election from Russia, we'll instantly un-Soviet Unionize ourselves, and America will be great again again.
Is there a strategy to this? Blather obviously stupid bullshit so much that the merely incorrect stuff may seem reasonable by subconscious comparison? Have to just do with this poster what the entire world should have done with Trump from Day 1 : nothing you say is correct, most of it is outright lies, and none of it deserves any consideration whatsoever.
Soviet Union: a one party system, totalitarian rule. If the US were a carbon copy of that there would be no GOP and posters like you would be in labor camps. Tell us again how OPPRESSED you are!!!! Gimme a break.
Leave it to tainted judges to issue warrants on demand to the KGB similar to FISA court judges rubber stamping DOJ wrongdoing in spying on Americans including Trump.
If it is what is expected and happens, that will be okay as it is you being screwed, not me. It has already been happening under Biden and you don't care so don't start caring when the shoe is on the other foot.
So the FBI has searched the homes pf conservatives without warrants and has threatened their entire families? Provide some examples.
