For the first time in American history, a closet communist is occupying our White House and acting as Chief Executive and Community-Organizer-in-Chief. It's no surprise that youngsters who don't remember politics before that terrible day when electoral fraud put the bigot in power think socialism might work eventually. Our world has changed, and the change is not an improvement.
While I don’t think the situation is quite as dire as the author seems to believe, the fact that an admitted socialist — in reality, nothing more than a soft-sell communist — can comfortably stand as a candidate for president of the United States means we have lost our identity as a free-market meritocracy. Succeeding generations had better prepare themselves for Maduro-esque privation and the traditional upheaval that inevitably follows increasing socialism-ization.
You did great mom
50-years of public school indoctrination has finally bubbled to the surface. They’ve been at it for a very long time.
I blame the intense interest and approval of socialism by our youth in America on the public school system and the many , many liberal colleges and universities who have made it their business to indoctrinate and propagandize these very malleable young minds of mush .
You did just fine.
Another big factor is the demographic change.
Post looks good. Nice to see everyday freepers posting rather than just the self appointed editors...
It just goes to show how far left the Democrats have gone. In the old days, George McGovern could only carry one state. Now days, he would be a centerist in their party. Johnson started this with his lunatic policies and it has only gotten worse.
Free Trade and de industrialization will do that. No shock here. I've been expecting this.
At least he’s honest about what he is, unlike the rest of the Rat party, and much of the GOPe.
Socialism is socialism, regardless of what its promoters choose to call it.
