Under totalitarian governments, everyone becomes a slave

98% of that side of the political fence are Useful Idiots who think they're in charge. The remaining 2% are the ones in charge of the 98%. . .

Up-voted. But that's the beauty of leftists no longer learning real history -- they study cultural relevance issues instead -- in that they are incapable of studying the past in order to see their future coming right at their head . . . like a well aimed and hard flung . . . brick. Conservatives, however, HAVE studied history and so we know what to look for and even know when to . . . duck.

I wonder: will they realize what's happened after they get the brick upside their heads?

Yes . . . but by then it will be too damn late for them to do anything about it and because it is their OWN leftist leadership -- and their political officers -- doing it . . . they will have ZERO recourse to redress any 'perceived' wrongs. Leftists never EVER expect that what goes around will eventually come around.

No, they'll still be blaming Trump

That's certainly true. He'll be the new Emmanuel Goldstein!
