“Hiding power levels” is an extremely useful concept. At this point, I won’t engage on controversial topics IRL without establishing first principles. If I’m talking to a commie, I want to know it before I waste my time - and I want everyone listening to know it, too.
It's that simple, they got everything right. Particularly about the ACLU, which demonstrated that they were Socialists who were prepared to engage in false flag attacks against public figures in order to defame JBS. Even their point about a whole swath of the Civil Rights movement existing to promote black nationalism and secessionism in the US to sew discord, demoralization, and violence at the behest of the Soviet Union to promote a socialist revolution in the US.
Civil Rights and communism were inseparable in the 60s. It was a fifth column absolutely promoted by the Soviets who lasered in on multiculturalism as a weakness of the US that could be exploited. "Sow discord" by the way; as in sow a seed rather than sew a stitch.
I'm still on the fence about that. When I watch some media from the 90s or 80s that would be considered "Progressive" at the time (example: Sliders), I find I mostly agree with it. Then there's others that are Progressive but clearly Marxist idealism (example ST:TNG).
Not all that long ago, the ACLU defended Nazis. They were a principled organisation at one point.
I don't know, maybe Progressivism itself was infected by Marxism early on like many subcultures have been recently.
The ACLU didn't defend Nazis because of free speech or some such, although many supporters and employees of the ACLU did believe in that. Skokie strengthened federal civil rights laws and destroyed local communities' ability to defend themselves from outsiders. Now, everyone has to tolerate pedo shows on the basis of civil rights using the same logic.
The ACLU hasn't been compromised. It has simply progressed and stopped hiding its power level.

Do you have some advice on that? Or you just ask "are you a commie?"
Just mention Trump in a neutral context i.e. gas prices were better, etc.
If they fly into a rage at the mere mention of Sunkist Hitler then they are a commie.
If they get nervous, they might be on the fence.
If they get enthusiastic about him, they're at least smart enough not to fall for MSM propaganda.
I think you're right. They've always been staffed by "progressives" and leftists. they're showing their true color: Red.
The John Birch Society was right.
Like MAGA today, the John Birch Society didn't go far enough.
about everything.
