Democrats see this virus as an opportunity to force the progressive agenda through. Progressives ruin the middle class as can be seen in California but Governor Newsom thinks he can achieve a more robust middle class with his leftist agenda. It’s unfortunate he doesn’t see how his policies have damaged the middle class in his state.
Newsom wants the soul of the nation as do all progressives/socialists.
Newsom said this is an opportunity to “reshape the way we do business and how we govern.”
How about treating it as an opportunity to save lives while not destroying the economy. That seems like more than enough on the plate to me. https://t.co/OIYPRUUlix

CUOMO, CLYBURN
Governor Cuomo says we will never be the same again. He’s very far left so you know what he means. Cuomo already said he wanted to change our healthcare into one big [socialist] conglomerate, using the virus as an excuse.
He said, ” sometimes you need an emergency to get the change you want.”
House Majority Whip James Clyburn admitted the virus is “a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.”
SPEAKER PELOSI
Let’s not forget Nancy Pelosi’s socialist dream bill which included the following:

- On page 88, the “Ryan White HIV/AIDS program” receives an additional $90,000,000, according to language in the bill.
- and retirement plans for newspaper employees — nothing like making newspapers even more beholden to Democrat politicians.
Progressivism is socialism/communism. Once it’s in and people see big government as their daddy, you will never get rid of it. It robs you of individual freedom and it is never satisfied. It keeps going left. Big government is corrupt and voracious by its very definition.
