These people are ridiculous.
They have lost all tethers to a sense of self. Their entire identity now relies on this treasonous hate of America. They make up fantasies of how horrible America never was to justify their need to "fight tyranny." They have no identity but this. And they cling to it with a death grip, because they have nothing else.
None of it is true. Not the fantasy about America about which she is shrieking, not her identity of believing herself to be some "hero" in a movie about an oppressive government, and not the resulting congress-free, senate-free, President-free, childish (and completely chaotic) future she sees for this country.
She is an infant.
She and others like her will not get their way. Not even close. If you have a modicum of common sense, it's time to let your line in the sand about tolerance be made known.
Myself, I have a limit to tolerance.
I have a limit to patience.
I know there is a limit to free speech.
If your plan is to tear down the United States of America, if your plan is treason, I will not tolerate you, I will have zero patience for you, and I will not defend your right to free speech.

The left honestly believes they can take over a reputable institution, gut it, then start spitting out “studies” asserting the most ridiculous and contradictory things, and we just have to accept it, because once upon a time, said institution used to be intellectually reliable.
Billionaires are not evidence that capitalism failed. Poverty is.
The question isn't whether some people become extremely rich, but whether ordinary people become better off. Compared to history, even the poor today have access to things that were once luxuries.
The existence of billionaires doesn't prove capitalism failed any more than the existence of Olympic athletes proves exercise failed because not everyone becomes one.
I have $30. So does my neighbor.
I spend my $30 on a live chicken. The chicken lays eggs. I eat some eggs and sell the rest. After a few days, I have made enough money to buy another chicken. That new chicken also produces eggs, so then I make money to buy more chickens. Soon, I have a substantial chicken farm, and I'm making a living selling eggs. I have achieved success.
My neighbor, on the other hand, spends his $30 on a pizza. He eats the pizza and now no longer has $30. He does not profit from his initial $30, so he has no success. He loses.
Did I contribute to my neighbor's loss?
The frustration many socialists have with capitalism is not that it prevents sharing, but that it requires consent. Trade, contracts, and property rights mean other people are allowed to say "no."
Most four year olds understand that you don't get to take other people's stuff just because you want it.
I mean, if you want to be spoken to like a particularly stupid three year old who needs puppets to explain the simplest possible concepts, that's your kink, I don't judge.
The most generous people are the ones who voluntarily open their own wallets.
The least generous people are the ones who want government to forcibly open other people’s wallets.
