It’s INCREDIBLE that we even (kind of) won the Cold War, given just how brainwashed people were.

So here we are in the 1970s, we have 2 countries, Cambodia and Chile. Cambodia’s government kills MILLIONS, one third of their population, and Chile kills maybe 0.1% of their population (the true Marxists).

Because Chile’s leader is friends with us, the Left hates him...and sadly they managed to brainwash millions of Americans that Pinochet was no better than Pol Pot, as we’re seeing here.

Regarding Marcos - same damn thing. Yes, the Philippines wasn’t a ‘democracy’, but then neither were any other country at that level of development (i.e., deep Third World).

So we have a choice - a guy who’s not a Thomas Jefferson, but leaves his people alone if they don’t cause trouble, or a COMMUNIST DICTATORSHIP that demands strict obedience, under the constant threat of slavery, torture, or death, simply by saying something like “I’m not sure this new 5-year plan will increase rice output by 30%, it may only increase by 25%”.

From my earliest days in college, I could tell the OBVIOUS difference, I pray that most conservatives can also, regardless of what I see here.
