State Capitalism can describe where we are now with this regime's acquisition of financial stakes and veto power in several private American corporations and could be seen as a step, albeit a 'baby step', toward communism. It can be said that State Capitalism actually 'makes the government infinitely bigger, wealthier, and more powerful' and is most commonly found in authoritarian governments. State capitalism provides a ruling regime with subtle, non-violent, yet highly effective tools to erode a democracy from within. Without fierce legal protections to keep state business neutral, state capitalism can act as an express lane to authoritarian rule.
Wouldn’t it be great to see this popping up as a regular commercial during programs like- the World Cup! The baseball game! The next golf tournament! A fishing show…. On all the networks.. just like an ad for life insurance
Absolutely, Anne! I’ve asked Rick before to take these Lincoln project ads, and run them on a loop throughout the country until November. They are absolutely devastating , but you can’t have a one at a time and expect them to be effective to overcome the MAGA mindset and disinformation. Thanks!
Not criticizing the ads; they're brilliant. You and I and everyone on this page thinks that.
But I've always wondered: "How effective are they?". Do they change minds? Certainly not the dead enders, which is 35% of this country. Not you and me and other sane people: Our minds don't need changing. We're another 40% of the country.
If the answer is the remaining 25-30% who are "undecided" or "independent", that has echoes of the election where I kept reading "late deciders are voting for Kamala".
No they weren't. If someone was a supposed "late decider" after 8 years of his insanity, they weren't gonna vote for Kamala. And so he won the election.
There is, I believe, a phenomenon no one talks about: His support is more, maybe much more than what we're being told because when asked, people are too embarrassed to admit they support the MFer. But they do. And they vote. And we lose.
Awesome 👏 And I feel like I keep up with all the news but my grandkids just filled me in on flock cameras last weekend!!!! WTH? This truly feels like Russia 🤮
Excellent ad! And like I say repeatedly, why. ant The Idiot Democratic Party relate an ad like this? Oh that's right...they're either afraid, compromised or actually in league with the enemies of the state....
Here's the psychology behind it. When Communist = Narcissist Projection

Thank you Rick for saying and doing what establishment Dems fail to do every day - call out the melon felon and subtly educate the masses.
Man what a great ad. Bravo.
Nailed it!
Excellent!
Clear, concise, and lethal. Just the way I like my LP. Especially loved the ending: Every accusation is a confession. Bravo!
Brilliant.
Now go and run it 24/7 on FOX, OAN and every other right wing MAGA station.
I cannot financially support anything beyond my low fixed income survival

Someone please tell me I'm wrong.
Relative to 2024, you are not wrong....
