"Banning people from social media, academia and other groups because they support Trump has less to do with the progressive left's personal dislike for Trump and more to do with the fact that Trump presents them with yet another convenient excuse to keep doing what they have always done.
Collectivism is a Ponzi scheme, a con game. If you are too aware to participate in the con, you must be exiled.
Senator Barry Goldwater had none of the personal issues that Trump brought to the White House, yet if you look at the 1964 presidential campaign, you will see almost exactly the same rhetoric used against Goldwater and the GOP.
Over 50 years of the same old, same old.
Goldwater was a racist. He was mentally ill. Republicans hate the poor and old people. He was a gun nut. He was a warmonger.
The biggest change is that the Democrats are no longer afraid to expose themselves as communists, something unthinkable in the Cold War 60's.
From the article:
"But the most striking echo of the Goldwater campaign is in a media that often functions as an adjunct to the Democratic campaign. Fifty-two years ago, such naked partisanship in the coverage of a national election was unprecedented, and many Goldwater supporters saw it as a violation of a public trust. That these days, such media behavior is nearly a given shows how much Americans’ expectations of journalists have changed—with enduring consequences both for the profession and for the nation."
Nothing new under the sun.
Commies gonna commie."
