But it worked. Look at how easily we can be manipulated once we're told we're under attack by a foreign power. Propaganda works. James Comey knew this just as well as Senator McCarthy did. They didn't even need to change the protagonist.

The recent uprising of Marxist groups, such as Antifa affiliates or BLM, stems from universities and other institutions being infiltrated by Marxist propagandists a couple generations ago. Senator McCarthy was correct. BLM founder stating she is a “trained Marxist”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdpIIiBe7Wc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdpIIiBe7Wc Edit: I’d appreciate if anyone could comment on why they flagged this — it’s a genuine post with a video of the BLM founder referring to herself in those terms. Discussing how Senator McCarthy was correct about institutions being infiltrated seems topical and relevant to someone commenting on him.

  I'm sorry are you totally taken by crazed conspiracies of marxists roaming the streets? Can I ask why users like you suddenly started adopting the word as an object of obsession just as recently as a few weeks ago? Specifically when did it enter your vocabulary? No offense but its already a joke with people blaming Marxists for taking down Aunt Jemima[1], and here you are doing the word salad thing "BLM antifa marxists in the shadows woo."

    I edited to include a source after you posted: the founder of BLM refers to herself as a trained Marxist. The reason people are speaking about it more now is such Marxist groups seized part of one city (Seattle) and staged riots nationally. Generally speaking, when an ideological group uses their network to stage violent riots, people talk about it. People such as Jordan Peterson or Michael Knowles have been speaking about Marxism in universities and other institutions for a while.

      >Marxist groups seized ppart of one city (Seattle) and staged riots nationally. Seriously? You really want to play up a national Marxist uprising? And you want to cite a benzo addict who put himself in a coma in Russia to "escape western medicine" as proof, because he spoke of Marxists on universities? >antifa affiliates And where is this antifa or their affiliates? I've been seeing a lot of arrests of white nationalists and right wingers for instigating riots and ambushing cops to kill them, where are these antifa super soldiers?

        I cited the founder referring to herself as a “trained Marxist” and discussing how Marxism was the ideological underpinning of BLM. (Watch the video.) BLM staged riots nation wide two weeks ago. Nationwide, chapters of the John Brown Gun Club have been seen at or involved with the BLM riots. What of that do you not find factual?

        Where are these antifa affiliates? Who are they? Can you name them specifically? I find your entire narrative hiliarous and non-factual. You jump from one BLM guy being marxist to all BLM being marxist to riots being due to BLM Marxists with antifa affiliates. Please tell me what led you to these conspiracies? Do you recognize police were executed by right wing extremist groups who have been named by prosecutors? Do you see antifa when you close your eyes?

This time the candidates are going to fight over which is more antagonistic to China. Turns out Russia is a weak country that has very little reach outside of itself other than the activities of its billionaire oligarchs. China is a far more believable big bad.
