I will be the first to admit that, since February 2020, life in America has had its problems. The list is endless: Lockdowns, vaccines, tainted elections, a depleted military, inflation, open borders, crime, fentanyl deaths, Biden, Democrats, Biden, transgendering our children, Biden, etc. However, there’s actually still a lot to be thankful for and, at the risk of sounding Pollyannaish, I’d like to focus on that.

The Democrats’ accelerating record of cheating and censorship shows that they know the American people don’t support them. If Americans did support them—if the Democrats’ policies and arguments were winners—Democrats could state them freely in the court of public opinion and win in honest elections. In other words, just as was the case with the former Soviet Union in 1989, Democrats look strong, but they’re not. One Berlin Wall moment and they’re done for.  

And speaking of the weakness underlying the former Soviet Union, China isn’t doing so well itself. As with all totalitarian societies, it presents a strong and united front to the world, but that front is the equivalent of a Potemkin village. Behind the scenes, it’s suffering from ills that cannot be corrected because it’s dangerous even to mention them:

China has ordered six million people into lockdown after hundreds of workers took to the streets around the vast iPhone factory in Zhengzhou on Wednesday.
