"True totalitarianism," as you put it, murders and jails dissidents. Show me one blue state that does that. I live in the bluest of all blue states (NY). I'm unaware of any freedoms that "have been taken away" from me.
Just the fact you're allowed to run your mouth the way you do, makes this ridiculous claim a complete BS.
What you're whining about isn't totalitarianism. You're insulting memories of millions of victims of totalitarian regimes across the globe by misusing and abusing this word.

Sleepy Joe is President. Harris is Veep. Democrats have an edge in House and Senate. Notice I did not use the word "control" as many maneuvers can be used for obstruction. The trolls here are invited to return in January 2023 if their crew has a edge. Until then we wait for the possible end of the filibuster. The rich are the bosses, The poor and middle class, the slaves. All this talk of evil communism is just that, idle talk. The rich are capitalists. They will perpetuate the system set up to benefit them alone. Trickle down is at a trickle. The country has but one religion. That is capitalism. Dwight Eisenhower warned us.

Posts: 657Oh No! Biden Can't Remember Who he Put In Charge Of Alzheimer's Research
Washington, DC —The Biden Administration has committed to defeating Alzheimer's Disease through cutting-edge research. Unfortunately, the White House staff was thrown into turmoil today after Biden completely forgot who he placed in charge of it.
"Listen, folks," Biden reportedly said during a morning meeting. "The fight against Alzheimer's is important. There's no reason we can't defeat this disease by 2003. I know President Nixon is going to fight me on this, but I'll stop at nothing to defeat polio before France invades!
According to sources, Biden then scanned the crowd, trying to remember who he had placed in charge of the effort.
"Jen? Hi there, sweetheart. How's the research comin'? Oops! Haha, I'm just kidding," said Biden, desperately searching the faces of the staff. "Bruce? Tammy? Nina? Oops! Haha, that was a joke, folks. Welp, my stories are on the TV. Let's take a break. ".
The staff desperately looked around for any kind of document that would indicate who Biden had placed in charge of Alzheimer's research. Sadly, their search came up empty since Biden had forgotten to appoint anyone to begin with.

What does calling all news fake and only what dear leader says is the truth whether it is an obvious lie or not sound like? Absolutely Donnie the Dumbass.
What does nepotism and cronyism remind us of? Absolutely Donnie the Dumbass.
What does quid pro quo, ignoring the emoluments clause and failure to allow the legitimate requests for financial records suggest? Absolutely Donnie the Dumbass.
Who requires absolute fealty to dear leader? Absolutely Donnie the Dumbass.
Who removes all inspector generals so there is no possibility to investigate improper behaviour? Absolutely Donnie the Dumbass.
What does the pandering to one religious faction lead to? Absolutely Donnie the Dumbass.
What does the obsession with big military, parades and cozying up to totalitarian regimes lead to? Absolutely Donnie the Dumbass.
It all absolutely happened. And Donnie the Dumbass did it.
Only a complete idiot would say that these things didn't happen in Donnie the Dumbass' 4 year term.

Posts: 1188The truth is simple, the libtards on this site are brainwashed. Everything they accuse Trump and the Republicans of are what themselves are guilty of.
Pelosi was fully aware that Republican politicians had been shot by one of her fans when she tried to trigger a new terror attack by branding Republicans "domestic enemies."

1. I am not a socialist by any definition, nor am I a communist. There a certain services that governments more effectively provide than private enterprise. Private enterprise certainly needs to be regulated and taxed.
2. I have never read Dr Seuss and don't care if he was a racist as it does not affect me. I do understand that the people managing his legacy made a business decision to remove a selection of his books from publication. It is their business decision but I'm sure if you are desperate to read them there will be some collectors market or file sharing source where you can get for kiddy thrills for the day.
3. The government is going to tell us what kind of vehicles we can drive. Yes the Government works for the social good of all. They will make emissions regulations, provide subsidies, adjust taxes and duties to achieve an outcome. Within that you will have a vast array of choice of vehicle and manufacturer so no they won't tell you what vehicle you can drive, just that it complies with the laws at the time.
4. The government is going to tell us how we will heat our homes. Yes the Government works for the social good of all. They will make emissions regulations, provide subsidies, adjust taxes and duties to achieve an outcome. Within that you will have a vast array of choice of electric, heat pumps, insulation, clothing etc to keep warm.
5. The government will tell us what jobs we will have. Noone is making any proposals to do this. Just you making stuff up to argue about non existent grievances.
6. The government will tell us what books we can read. Noone is making any proposals to do this. Just you making stuff up to argue about non existent grievances. There are always some things that are restricted such as adult content or censored but that is very rare.
7. The government will tell us what to we can watch. Noone is making any proposals to do this. Just you making stuff up to argue about non existent grievances. There are always some things that are restricted such as adult content or censored but that is very rare.
8. The government will tell us what news is acceptable. Didn't Trump do this? Just you making stuff up to argue about non existent grievances.
9. The government will tell us activities we can do. Such as?
10. The government will tell us when we have to wear mask. Yes if it is for the general good.
11. The government will tell us what history is acceptable and eliminate any history they don't approve of. Well that has existed since the beginning of time. The victor gets to write the history.
Do you have some sort of mental problem that you are in a constant state off stress about stuff that is not really happening? Well maybe for the last 4 years when dear leader was in power but now rational competent people are in power. Chill and be happy that the world is moving to a better place.

Not even under Trump.
However, if things ever did come to anything like that, that would happen under someone like Trump. Like GDreams put it rightly: "The last 4 years has been as close to totalitarianism the US has come. ".
And seeing how millions of his brainwashed followers continue worshipping the ground this conman walks on, one wonders if it was just a rehearsal and totalitarianism might come back with a vengeance one day.

It seemed more of a business decision than a political one. Racist themes may be bad for mass market sales forums.
His writings remain popular, earning an estimated $33 million before taxes in 2020, ranking his estate at #2 in dead celebrity earnings behind only Michael Jackson.
