Episode Synopsis

What is the end goal of the leftist Democrats? What would they do with the power they seek?
Utopianism The left believes that men should be ruled by experts. All matters of health and welfare should be determined by unelected officials. This was most clearly seen during the recent COVID pandemic. Elected officials yielded power to unelected officials to determine how we should live. Utopianism, carried to its logical extreme is totalitarian in nature. The only choices in life would be those per-approved by the state. Someone, a member of an elite class, will determine what is good for society, the state, and you. Democracy won’t mean the people will get to determine how they will be ruled, only which of a few pre-selected candidates will be serve in various capacities. There are no natural “rights” in a utopian society. The totalitarian society will run on a series of privileges doled out for correct behavior, and punishments for bad behavior.
Things like ESG already control the behavior of individuals indirectly. The aim of the Utopian Left is to extend this sort of control to the individual level. Examples of this can already be seen in such things like vaccine passports and mask mandates. The reliance on technology will be used as a point of control. Access to things like education, online commerce, and entertainment will be subject to an ever-increasing array of rules and regulations. In order to partake in the modern lifestyle, people will be made to trade their freedom and privacy for goods and services. Heath, spending, energy consumption and location will all be monitored through technology sold as convenience. Direct control over individual commerce though digital currency is part of the Left’s ultimate control plan. Anyone living in today’s world scarcely need and example, as the means to exercise such control already exists, only the organized implantation, directed and executed by the ruling elite remains.
What about the Right?
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Rule of Law. The Republicans want smaller government.  They want a government to do a few essential things well.    The first mission of a Republican Congress will be to stop the unchecked growth of government, and to get federal spending under control. Reducing government spending is the key to reducing inflation. Where Democrats wish to treat the symptoms of inflation by handing out more money, the Republicans want to attack inflation at its source, by reducing deficit spending. No, America will not become fascist under their control.  Yes, we'll still be having elections two years from now when we select a new president. A Republican Congress alone won't be enough to reverse the damage of the last two years, but they can stop it from getting worse.
