The left was doing the same thing to Palin, too, until she sidestepped their tactics by resigning as governor.
I have always wondered since that time how many good, decent individuals are now unwilling to run for office simply to avoid the brutal gang rape that awaits them for professing anything that is remotely pro-American or conservative.
The difference between the Stalin terror and the current American version is really a matter of approach. Stalin just slaughtered people and put on show trials. In our culture, the left singles out enemies for embarrassment and humiliation, with communicates pretty effectively for everyone else how to behave and not to oppose the state. No reason to kill a million people when you can destroy the life of a single person and have it broadcast a million times. A genteel terror, perhaps.
God help us.
You know why she resigned, don’t you?
