Political purges are something that America has stood against for over 200 years. But are we still? There is a very disturbing trend among the politicians of the left to specifically target people in their lives, not political discussions, but where they live and work. This phenomena has a very dark history. It was previously shunned in America, especially after a famous incident in the 1950’s (McCarthyism for those who don’t remember). However, it has been revived by Maxine Waters in 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjwPRSLFWbk
Historically in Other Countries
Communist China this year
Communist China in July 2020 instituted a ban against 12 pro-democracy candidates from running for office in Hong Kong. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/31/hong-kong-opposition-political-purge-may-spell-end-democracy
“This is an outrageous political purge of Hong Kong’s democrats,” Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong, said in a statement. “It is obviously now illegal to believe in democracy ... this is the sort of behaviour that you would expect in a police state.”
The disqualifications come in the same week a prominent tenured professor was dismissed for his pro-democracy campaigning, and the arrest of four young activists who are facing life in jail under the national security law.
“It could spell the end of opposition inside the system, for the election laws could be entirely rewritten to make it impossible or irrelevant for the opposition to run again,” Leung said.
This is how totalitarian regimes force out any dissenting political thought. By force and in other cases death. The lefts favorite country has always been Russia, well, until they used it as a false flag issue against Trump. Bernie Sanders honeymooned there and has always lobbied for instituting aspects of their government. But it was also the country with one of the most brutal political pogroms https://www.history.com/topics/russia/great-purge
Stalin in Russia 1930's
https://www.history.com/topics/russia/great-purge
“The Great Purge, also known as the “Great Terror,” was a brutal political campaign led by Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin to eliminate dissenting members of the Communist Party and anyone else he considered a threat. Although estimates vary, most experts believe at least 750,000 people were executed during the Great Purge, which took place between about 1936 and 1938. More than a million other people were sent to forced labor camps, known as Gulags.”
“The exact motives for the Great Purge are debated among historians. Some claim the actions of Stalin were prompted by his desire to maintain authority as dictator. Others see it as his way to preserve, enhance and unify the Soviet Communist Party.”
https://www.britannica.com/event/Great-Purge
Great Purge, also called purge trials, three widely publicized show trials and a series of closed, unpublicized trials held in the Soviet Union during the late 1930s, in which many prominent Old Bolsheviks were found guilty of treason and executed or imprisoned. All the evidence presented in court was derived from preliminary examinations of the defendants and from their confessions. It was subsequently established that the accused were innocent, that the cases were fabricated by the secret police (NKVD), and that the confessions were made under pressure of intensive torture and intimidation.
Communist China 1950's
Another case from China was the “Anti-Rightist Campaign” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Rightist_Campaign
The Anti-Rightist Campaign in the People's Republic of China, which lasted from 1957 to roughly 1959, was a political campaign to purge alleged "Rightists" within the Communist Party of China (CPC) and abroad. The campaign was launched by Chairman Mao Zedong, but Deng Xiaoping and Peng Zhen also played an important role. The Anti-Rightist Campaign significantly damaged democracy in China and turned the country into a de facto one-party state.
The theme of South American dictators killing their opponents used to be rife in Hollywood films, showing firing squads and executions. Until they fell in love with Cuban dictators and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.

Today In the USA
That philosophy of punishing opponents, forcing them into isolation, seclusion, preventing them from employment, and imprisoning them was shunned by the US for most of our history. But now many voices in the Democrat party are calling for a pogrom against anyone supporting the Trump Administration
The Jewish Press does an excellent job with a summary
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1324807776510595078
In response, former Obama Administration official Michael Simon mentioned the “Trump Accountability Project” https://www.trumpaccountability.net/ and reassured AOC, as she is known, “Every Administration staffer, campaign staffer, bundler, lawyer who represented them — everyone.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is following in the footsteps of the worst in history - Joesph Stalin
Now that the election has passed, Ocasio-Cortez is conjuring visions for one of the most oppressive periods in world history – Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union.
In a chilling dispatch from her Twitter account, the socialist diva encouraged her zombie hordes to begin to compile information on political foes who supported President Trump for inclusion on a secret list that will be used for the sort of reprisals that communist dictators have carried out to eradicate dissent.
Even Journalists in Australia make note of the totalitarian nature of the left in America

But she is far from alone in her endeavors. In addition to Maxine Waters and the “Trump Accountability Project” Elizabeth Warren is advocating unprecedented legal action against members of the administration after they are out of the White House, and preventing them from future employment anywhere.

Elizabeth Warren proposed a Justice Division activity power to focus on the outgoing Administration. Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich in October called for a “Reality and Reconciliation Fee.”
Assuming Republicans maintain their Senate majority, probably the most vindictive Democratic officers could discover it onerous to be confirmed for high positions in a Biden Justice Division. But even when they will’t corrupt the authorized system, some progressives wish to harness their cultural energy to punish public officers who served the nation over the past 4 years.
Final Friday former Democratic Nationwide Committee Press Secretary Hari Sevugan tweeted that “employers contemplating [Trump White House staff] ought to know there are penalties for hiring anybody who helped Trump assault American values.”
But the left is not stopping just with assaults on those serving our government for 4 years. They are going after every citizen who may oppose them. They have even setup a database of contributors to the campaign https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/website-lists-trump-supporters-and-home-addresses-possibly-founded-by-china/. So if you contributed tot he Trump campaign, you may be subjected to antifa coming to visit you at home!

Where Do You Stand?
If you find any of this even marginally reasonable or in any way appealing, you are most definitely totalitarian fascist. So you can stop accusing others of being fascist. But for those who find this appalling and disgusting, remember that this is the modern left. Remember when next you vote to look into what you are voting for. This cannot be the future of America, “the last best hope of earth” (Lincoln Dec 1, 1982, Reagan 1964)
