"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - President Franklin Delano Roosevelt
I wonder if he really understood the importance of that statement. America has succumbed to fear and it is being foisted on US by a perverted version of his beloved party.
Not only are American automobile manufacturers shutting down plants that build gas-powered cars and replacing them with new ones to build electric-powered cars (despite the fact that not one of them has successfully built a viable one), but also we now have gas stations replacing gas pumps with car charging stations. On other fronts, we are shutting down critical power generating resources and replacing them with unsustainable windmills and solar farms. All of this insanity is being driven by fear. Fear of a non-existent climate crisis.
Why? Simple. Tyranny. The history of tyranny is clear. Tyrants rise to power on the heels of fear. They induce fear in a population, stampeding the masses to bend to the tyrant's will.
The Communists, the Nazis, and the Fascists all tried but failed because Americans were confident and self-reliant unlike peoples who had lived under aristocracies and other proto-tyrannies. Then they went after our children and indoctrinated them, planting the seeds of fear that are now bearing fruit.
