Compare Marcus Tullius Cicero’s speech to the Roman senate titled, “Treason from Within” to America’s Democratic socialists. He wrote, “A nation can survive its fools (those 23 socialistic presidential candidates) and even the ambitious (the elitists, Hollywood celebrities, left-wing media, academia, and anti-American billionaires like George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, and Joe Steyer.) But it cannot survive treason from within.

“An enemy at the gate (Isis and Antifa) is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly against the city (state and nation.) But the traitor moves among those within the gate freely, (accepted by the gullible and uniformed) his sly whispers (socialistic propaganda) rustling through all alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not as a traitor, he speaks in the accents familiar to his victims (very persuasive and freebees for all) and he wears their face and their garments, (a socialist pretending to be a moderate democrat) he appeals to the baseness (those lacking social values and moral convictions) that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

“He robs the soul (the independence, pride, and spirit) of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city, (state and nation) he infects the body politic, (by being shrewd, cunning, and discreet) so that it can no longer exist. A murder is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.” (Socialism is like an epidemic disease that spreads rapidly, affects a large number of people, and ends up killing millions of unarmed citizens if not eradicated.)

President Trump promised to never allow America to become a socialist country, after Hillary Clinton and the DNC financed a bogus Russian collusion coup against him, in my opinion. James Madison warned, “oppressors can tyrannize when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace,” and George Washington stated, “if freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent, we may be led away like sheep to the slaughter.” Remember, the Democratic socialists already possess an enslaved press, are trying to restrict freedom of speech, and the only real obstacle to their transformation of our constitutional republic into a socialistic nation is their fear that millions of armed American patriots will never surrender their liberties to socialism.
