"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." C.S. Lewis

@marcushale678 I don't trust politicians...even the ones I like/support. They are a necessary evil. Too many people hold them in to high regard, and think they can do no wrong. I'm thinking Barack Obama (remember "Now Is The Age Of Obama"?) and (what I call) the "Ever Trumpers"...ie we must never disagree with the Great And Powerful Trump. History...History...History. To many people only pay attention to history when it suits them, and then only at a superficial level.

@claudiachurch4285 Something I recall reading many decades ago. This was written about communists, but applies to "The Woke" (is their Really any difference?) I paraphrase..."They love and care about The People. Its people they despise."

@realMaverickBuckley Simple They Are Heretics to the New Religion...the Church Of Woke. Leftism (as opposed to Liberalism) has become a religion.

@swordpoint9 Back in The Day (as the saying goes) I used to hang around the Far Left. 2 reasons. 1. I saw them as being the Cool People, and at that time being around the Cool and seen as Cool was really really important to me (then I grew up), 2. The women were Easy. By Easy I mean Spout the correct phrase....Party time (if you know what i mean :-))
