Stalin called for a live chicken and proceeded to use it to make an unforgettable point before some of his henchmen. Forcefully clutching the chicken in one hand, with the other he began to systematically pluck out its feathers. As the chicken struggled in vain to escape, he continued with the painful denuding until the bird was completely stripped. “Now you watch,” Stalin said as he placed the chicken on the floor and walked away with some bread crumbs in his hand. Incredibly, the fear-crazed chicken hobbled toward him and clung to the legs of his trousers. Stalin threw a handful of grain to the bird, and it began to follow him around the room, he turned to his dumbfounded colleagues and said quietly, “This is the way to rule the people. Did you see how that chicken followed me for food, even though I had caused it such torture? People are like that chicken. If you inflict inordinate pain on them they will follow you for food the rest of their lives.”
A Russian strategy from the 1930’s/1940’s seems to very similar to a strategy being used today in America !!!

I don't see where President Trump comes into this. If anything, using the chicken feathers being plucked as a simile for the gradual diminishment of our liberties, it applies more to today's Democrats and their penchant for pushing rights micromanagement, socialism and the public dole on the masses over hard work, achievement and personal ambition.

In the fictitious world of your mind, Mr. Lone, according to your every post, exists the direct opposite of actual reality.
It must be nice to be able to go through life living in your own private Fantasy Land, but not everyone has an SSI check and Mom's basement in which to spend their lives.
One of the "pains" inflicted upon us right now is the pending hyperinflation (unrepresented taxes) brought on by the very painfully un-American bolsheviks, Pelosi and Schumer. It is amazing how much of a following they have.

It isn't amazing at all when you realize that 95% of TV news, TV talk, late night TV, TV entertainment shows, print newspapers, Hollywood, etc. parrot the Democrat message 24/7. This is why most polls are totally useless; they only reflect what the people answering the polls have been fed by the MSM.

You are so mixed-up you don't know up from down! True from false or fantasy from reality! It is the Democrats who are trying to bring America to its knees to force us into the NWO!
Trump was responsible for the best economy in 50 years prior to the lockdown of our whole society demanded by the DemoRats and pushed by the MSM! If the media had been HONEST about this virus, we should NEVER have been locked down at all!

Prior to the pandemic the economy was doing well. The economy only went down hill when the government shut everything down.
