We had no idea how many bombers they had, meanwhile...Venona chronicles...Hollywood...New York Times...Civil Rights Movement...anti-war movement...anti-nuclear movement...FBI...
Incidentally, this shit is why I am not as blackpilled as all the others on here. We went through all of that, even up to the point that in the 1970's you had Carter and the Dems all but saying they were going to surrender the Cold War and pave the way for the Soviet future and allow America to fall, and even keeping the House and Senate in the 1978 election (sound possibly familiar?).
And what happened? The American people shook themselves out of their stupor, said "FUCK! THAT!" And elected Reagan, who not only became one of the most popular presidents in US history, he gain a jump in approval when he joked that he was going to nuke Russia because "Commie Scum, LMAO". If you look at US History, we seem to actually do this more than you might think and seem to keep bouncing back from situations that have killed greater nations (something, something, Bismarck's quotes about America).
So why shouldn't I believe it will happen again, with the right amount of work.
Fundamentally, it's because they lean authoritarian, and authoritarians can't see why a more libertarian or chaotic system wouldn't just die.
Chaos begets order. Order begets chaos. Prolonged chaos generates new order. That's the benefit. The American people have probably endured the most prolonged assault by Leftism that has ever existed in the world. Liberal societies bend, but they do not break. This is the kind of thing that I talk about when I speak of a kind of Honey-comb defensive structure. You lose bits of ground (each comb) but the integrity of the structure is still generally solid.
Compare that to authoritarian systems. They are actually fragile. The breaking point is just much highers. When Franco died, Spain became a Leftist hell-hole. After the Argentinian Junta fell, it became a Leftist hell-hole. When Pinochet died, it became a Leftist shit-hole (one of the least bad ones, but a shithole none the less). The Chileans actually fought off another attempt by the Left to create a new constitution. They bend to a very small degree, and then completely shatter.
The value of Liberalism is how hard it is to actually break it because it bends so far, and is far more likely to simply bounce back. We can talk about Yuri Bezminov all the time, but fundamentally, he was wrong: The Soviet Union died before America could be conquered by Communists. It's under a new threat from a new regime, as well as it's older Fabian threat, but she's still bending around the pressure and pushing back. In fact, we're one of the only western nations that's actually pushing back. France is too, but the situation in France is far more serious than ours.
