The media covered up Obama being a hardcore Marxist and wanting to “fundamentally transform the United States.”

Unfortunately, eight years later, Americans are reported to view communism and socialism a lot more favorably than in 2008. Perhaps their taste of totalitarian control these few months may awaken people to the dangers.

There are people who just give up on life. Government will take care of them, they think. The liberal media has higher ratings, since the people stay home and are watching. These habits could tilt the election.

If this shutdown and destruction of the economy continues indefinitely (here in California that appears to be the case), people will need these government handouts just to survive. They will view socialism more favorably only because they need the 'stimulus' cash to put food on the table and pay the rent or mortgage. Also, many hourly workers who were laid off are getting more unemployment money than they made in their jobs (the extra $600/week in federal payments). They may need that money and a lot more if their jobs no longer exist due to company bankruptcies and closings. Retail will be destroyed at the end of this, for example.
