Conservative author Diana West says America is seeing a “lining up of Democratic and Republican elites,” working to move America towards socialism. West told Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon that the latest, trillion dollar budget deal reflects the priorities of Republican and Democratic elites, but doesn’t reflect real conservatism. “It is the definition of what the party elites are, the people in power are, but I don’t think it’s the definition of what a conservative is.” She also argued that they are sending America down a path to socialism. “There has been this movement really for 80 years in our history, of socialization….in terms of introducing the tools and mechanisms and practices of socialism into our economy, into our thinking, into our culture” West said. “Even on the right side of the spectrum there is very little consciousness that theres anything else or that there ever was anything else. “ West also told Breitbart News Daily that there appears to be an awakening amongst the American people and that it’s time for them to choose whether America is going be a country with, “sovereignty and with control over our representatives who are supposed to be working for us– the citizens, or whether we’re going to be sucked into the mob of the collectivist internationalist globalist enterprise.” She added that it, “comes down to, again, this notion of are we citizens or are we subjects.”
