>>>But I have a vision of the weathy fighting back to evade the communists takeover in America.<<<

I agree. I think we’re seeing a replay of the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Back then, we had the elites from royalty and its allies fighting the elites from business and its allies, and the rest of the population kind of ducked for cover.

In this battle, the elites in the federal government, academia, and media are aligned against (roughly, and not precisely) with the elites in business, religion, and the state and local governments. As it is in all civil wars, definitions and allegience are fluid.

Back in the Glorious Revolution, the issue was whether or not the monarch had unlimited power. In this era, the issue is whether the state has unlimited power. Interesting how that theme crops up again.

God help us.
