#1 The Progressive Revolution: From Democratic to Liberal to Progressive to Socialist

I can assure you, it was a very short journey.

#2 They never were liberals in the Jeffersonian sense. They were statists. They want the government to be god and in charge of everything.

#3 As is typical of American politics, voters in 2008 also wanted to change the party in power after it had been in the lead for eight years

So much emphasis on 'change' and next to none on 'improvement'.

#4 Listening to Ms. Nancy P. today throwing shade at AOC told me the Dem "Old Guard" is scared $hitless. Do they want all the wonderful things Socialism offers? Yes, and they are doing their best to convince those of weak mind that they can deliver "Big Rock Candy Mountain."

No pols like to air their dirty laundry, preferring to take care of things sub-rosa. That Ms. Pelosi would compare AOC voters as being blinkered to the point that they would vote for a glass of water as long as it had a "-D" at the end of its name was (1) priceless and (2) said volumes.

The new Progs are pushing in the same direction as the old ones, but too quickly for some. Gotta' keep the frogs impassive, and "transparency" is a double-edged sword.

I understand AOC has now taken down her Facebook account. Interesting decision. Anyone out there in Marketing willing to speculate?
