Far, far too many progressivism adherents seem not to understand what they have embraced.  As the title of this piece notes, "Progressivism is Neo-Communism."    This item explains.    https://freedomoutpost.com/progressivism-is-neo-communism/     This is a stark example of the failures of socialist ideas provided by bad experiences. Finland apparently realized their mistake and made a U-turn regarding the ideas now under consideration by socialistic led cities in California. Quote: "In oh-so progressive Scandinavia, Finland tried and quickly discovered that the latest hot idea among the techno-lords of Silicon Valley (and their lackeys in the California Democratic Party) is a dud. The failed idea for the way the rest of us should live is so-called Universal Basic Income."  https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/04/finland_pulls_the_plug_on_guaranteed_basic_income_experiment.html

This item published in a newspaper in 1975 reveals the rules used by Communists since at least 1919 for taking control of nations.  The tactics are still in use by Socialists, progressives, liberals and Democrats today.  You will be shocked by what we let them do, get away with.  https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/04/26/communist-rules-for-revolution/

Our government misbehaves far too much. Eminent Domain is misused to benefit government or a government preferred friend. It in effect is stealing of property from citizens. Quote: "It is happening here in The Woods, rural Southwest Virginia – home of your Libertarian Car Guy. A private company demands that private landowners stand aside and watch as the company sends men with chainsaws onto what was their land, to cut down swaths of forest, followed by heavy equipment to install a natural gas pipeline that will deliver no natural gas to anyone in the county or any county in the vicinity of the county. Instead, the gas will flow far, far away – to be sold for the private profit of the gas company. When the landowners said objected, the pipeline company called up its “partner” to make them an offer they couldn’t refuse. Armed thugs arrived. The landowners were forced to step aside. Like taxes (theft of money) eminent domain (theft of land) was initially justified by limiting it. Property was only to be seized for the “general good” (as defined by those doing the taking). But it usually meant things like right-of-ways for roads, which did at least provide some plausible benefit to the people in the area. That in no way changes the fact that a crime has been perpetrated under color of law against the former owner of the land. Taking is taking – just as theft is theft."     https://www.ericpetersautos.com/2018/04/28/eminent-domained/

If you did not thing the left wing media hates Trump the recent White House press dinner proves the fact.  It was all about destroying the president and all of his associates, especially the women. Quote: "The anti-Trump media at the black-tie dinner laughed and whooped it up, and occasionally “oohed” as Wolf went too far even for them, lending confirmation to Trump’s depiction of who and what they are."  And,  "Her objective in arranging this year’s dinner, said WHCA president Margaret Talev, was “in unifying the country,” but “we may have fallen a little bit short on that goal.” The lady has a gift for understatement. With revulsion at Wolf’s performance coming in strong on Sunday, journalists began to call for a halt to inviting comedians, with some urging an end to the annual dinner that Trump has twice boycotted. These dinners are becoming “close to suicidal for the press’s credibility,” writes Margaret Sullivan in The Washington Post."  No kidding to Sullivan's assessment - their biased hatred is self destructive and validates everything Trump says about them and their fake news activities.    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2018/05/01/smut-night-at-the-press-dinner/

This item provides an example of what happens when socialist Democrats are in charge.  Proof yet again that socialism does not work. Quote: "Democrats Ruin Everything. Democrat controlled states and cities are not efficient stewards of taxpayer dollars and their mismanagement is now a full-blown crisis for these top blue states; California, New York, Illinois, Connecticut, and Massachusetts.  Well, at least, this is the information we gathered from our pals at the Internal Revenue Service.  And they do know taxes. What they report is that the mass exodus out of corrupt blue states translates to the influx, along with billions of dollars, into well run red states such as Florida, South Carolina, Texas, and Arizona.  Facts that liberal policy wonks would have one believe is due to retirement or better weather."  And,  "In the past decade, 3.5 million Americans have left high tax states and relocated to low tax states.  One would assume that elected leaders of the bleeding blue states would slap on at least a Band-Aid, or a tourniquet, and readjust their tax policy.  Pork-full jobs may be lost, but, trimming government to alleviate a massive, inhumane, tax burden may just be the ticket to retaining the tax rolls.  Less tax collection is better than no tax collection if you get my simplified drift.  Yet the elite continue to run their liberal enclaves into the ground and then ratchet up the duty imposed on mere working class folks.  Only the über wealthy will be able to maintain a certain, accustomed, lifestyle in New York and California, as everyone else is heading for the hills."      https://www.libertynation.com/democrats-force-mass-exodus-to-red-states/ 

This is the man the Democrats hate and want to impeach because their hero criminal Hillary did not win.  Quote: "South Korea's foreign minister Kang Kyung-wha said President Donald Trump "clearly" gets the "credit" for bringing North Korea to the table for a historic peace meeting on Friday.  "Clearly, credit goes to President Trump," Kang told CNN reporter Christiane Amanpour. "He's been determined to come to grips with this from day one."   http://trumptrainnews.com/articles/south-korea-gives-huge-credit-to-president-trump    Given Hillary's history of abject failure does anyone think something like this could have happened????  NOT EVEN...  Her focus would have been on continuation and advanceing the destructive Obama policies that Trump is erasing/reversing.

My guess is that many of us have not heard about this on the mainstream news.  It does not get reported or discussed because it does not fit their socialist left wing narrative that Trump is a bumbling idiot not to be compared to the great and wonderful, Obama.  Quote: "Coverage about the defeat of ISIS has been eerily quiet in the mainstream media, and the last ragtag group of terrorists in Syria who pleaded for mercy has been sparsely reported. Given the United States engagement in the Middle East since the 9/11 attacks in 2001, one would expect banner headlines above the fold on the New York Times and parades in the street. Such has not been the case. That may be that the once-heralded liberal Pres. Barack Obama not only failed to bring the murders to justice, he inspired the largest terrorist fighting force ever, ISIS. That being said, Pres. Donald J. Trump brought ISIS to its knees in less than one year. The beleaguered fighters that just gave up in Syria were under continued Russian-Syrian fire, keeping them just out of the American military’s reach. As the last remnants of ISIS beg to quit the battlefield outside Damascus, many Americans are asking how did the war draw down so quickly and where do things go from here?"     http://www.conservativezone.com/articles/last-remnants-of-isis-surrender-in-syria/
