This article provides a succinct and fitting description of the Marxist / globalist threat facing America and indeed all of Western Civilization.
... There’s a battle being waged for the soul of our country. It’s a battle of competing visions and values, philosophies and principles. It’s a struggle between those who adhere to the Founding Fathers’ noble principles and those who—whether from personal grudges or delusional self-importance, demoralized character or spiritual dullness, warped intellect or diabolical ideology—wish to “fundamentally transform” our beloved republic into some sort of Big Government centrally planned monstrosity....
