The world in which most liberals live is one of magic and fairytales — where socialist systems have starved millions of people and destroyed every economy forced into its model, but which certainly will work the next time. It is a world in which using fascist tactics to silence opponents actually makes you an anti-fascist; and where presidential candidates can promise everything for everyone, and still have enough money left over to cut taxes. In this fantasy land, anything is possible if you just feel it to be true.

Hence a comment I made, about how socialism is born of childish thinking.
Sez the ass-hat that would disarm you in a heart beat. And make all that crap he spoke of possible! He’s fake government. just like the squad.
Tell them what they want to hear, but quietly let the mooring slip a little.
A real AG could put congress and most of the administrations of the last 50yrs. in jail.
But then we all know that “law” only applies to people below a certain level. Ag Barr is just the other side of the D.C. party. Trust him at your own peril.
Ah, just to point out; While the author of the article, Robert L. Barr, was a former U.S. Prosecuting Attorney and Congressional Representative, he is not the current U.S. Attorney General, William P. Barr.
I don’t think they’re even distantly related.
Sorry, my bad.
The attitude of “next time Totalitarianism will work” despite all the evidence to the contrary has been approvingly depicted as the child digging through the horse manure saying, cheerfully, “With all this $hit there has to be a pony in here somewhere.” Childish thinking, as Toastrider says.
