I have always believed that the people of the left suck in the most literal way. They are hands-down, without question, the champion fun-suckers of the universe. Think about it. They suck the fun out of everything people might possibly enjoy with taxes, regulations, and laws, and there is nothing too small for them to meddle with it. If it's fun, they go after it either to outlaw it or so restrict it that fun can no longer be had. If they can't do that they just tax it into oblivion. The result they envision can never be a utopia of fairness and equity. It always marches toward a gray formless world in which no one is allowed to have any fun at all that is not sanctioned by the state, and the things they sanction are things you have to strain and squint at to find the fun, and that's usually pointless. They paint rainbows on all their stuff to make it appealing, but it's a trick. Behind the fun-looking curtain is an indistrial-size Hoover ready to suck away any fun you might be planning to have. (In a nice preemptive move, it gets all your money, too, because you might use it to have fun, and this they cannot have.)
In that same light look at narcissists. Socialism is equality in that everyone must be equally miserable. Those who enact said regulations are the most miserable fukstix on Planet Earth. Their time for PAIN and real misery is for us to relish, as better and brighter days are around that corner 👍🏽
Not everyone is miserable in a socialist state. The ones at the top always grab all the cash and live in luxury while the peasants (everybody else) starve. Somehow the privileged are able to convince people that this is right--for a while.
Historically, yes. Even tho we have a huge swath of our population that's fairly ignorant, this movie has played out before as you stated and we know the plot. Too many know the score hence our pushback. We're not handing the farm over so quick this time. That's why we have hope.
