After the Gulag leaked out, championing socialism became a tough sell. Since George Orwell - a former socialist - figured out it was all a sham, the elites switched tactics from "Socialism is great!" to systematically discrediting free-market capitalism. With generations indoctrinated against free-market capitalism, socialism became more and more popular amongst academics, who dared not speak its name until quite recently. Now we're back to the 1920s, again, where socialism represents some kind of utopian alternative to free-market capitalism and limited government.
Most people don't understand the basic principles and main differences between socialist authoritarianism and free-market capitalism. Nobody understands the concept of Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand," because it's, well, invisible! It's far easier to parade a few people you used taxpayer money to benefit than it is to show the destruction of the engine of prosperity that lifts EVERYone. It's not an invisible hand. It's an invisible tide that raises all boats simultaneously, through millions of individual transactions and choices made VOLUNTARILY by people. The so-called 'left' (whom I see as re-branded authoritarian right with a kinder, gentler mask) don't trust the people, so they foolishly put all their faith in the most toxic power seekers in the country, rewarding foolish policies with votes, because there's Free Stuff in it for those who support total demagogues.
Most of the progress of the 20th Century was in SPITE of what the government was doing. Our free-market economy generated so much wealth and prosperity that the erosion of our prosperity by demagogues was not as great as the engine of prosperity: Free people incentivized to excellence by profit. The economy is NOT a zero-sum game. We CREATE wealth through hard work and innovation. And we get the most innovation from a free society that allows EVERYbody the right to KEEP what they build or earn. Socialists hate that. They want power and they want to MAKE winners they can show off, rather than LETTING people win on their own merits.

Coming over from Africa makes you much different from somebody of African descent immersed in American entitlement culture. The excellent performance in our education and economy by Africans proves that it isn't skin color holding people back, but their attitude. There are as many or more white people infected by entitlement culture, but there's an expectation that a person of color think exactly the way white liberals WANT them to think (and vote), and if you think for yourself, they call you a race traitor.
There are people on the right who will call whites "race traitors" for NOT being racist, but they are a very small minority that are very much marginalized. On the LEFT, the least tolerant and most racist people dominate the conversation, and are singled out for praise.
What's ironic is how those who FOLLOW the narrative are called stunning and brave, while those like yourself, who THINK, are shunned, doxxed and abused in the public square.

I've often thought along the same lines. And Trump Derangement Syndrome is a very real thing, and the last, spiteful, money-grubbing act of "crumbling media" is to infect as many as possible with it.
It is very true that a LOT of people think it's funny as hell that millions hang on every tweet. I see Syndromers all the time, at work and socially. They HATE the man. BOILING hatred. Want him DEAD.
As a Libertarian, at heart, I've always been disappointed by our refusal to govern ourselves, intelligently. My guy NEVER wins. But I've always just hoped for the best - and seen some of the best coming out in Dave Rubin Report and other outside-of-mainstream outlets - and expected the worst.
And yes, if Hillary had won, things would've continued more or less the same as Obama, with an Iron Lady hawkishness abroad that nobody anticipated.
I think folks are right when they say Republicans start wars. But nobody pays attention to how Democrats escalate the tensions and leave the pot simmering, hoping it doesn't boil over, but if it does, it gives them emergency powers and a nice bump in popularity.
