“When did supporting Communism become acceptable in decent society in this country? Do people not know their history and Communism’s historical record of tyranny and slaughter?”
It has become ‘normalized’ by the left on campuses, in newsrooms, and everywhere else they’ve targeted as a means to control societal norms. It’s like desensitizing someone to something they’re allergic to. Expose them to small innocuous doses, and increase slowly over time - until there’s no reaction. It’s now ‘normal’ to be a communist in America. In fact, it’s chic.
Indeed.
And the Muslim Student Association (aka the Muslim Brotherhood), learned very well from that lesson, and that’s why, since the advent of Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) and Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS), Anti-Semitism has ALSO become normalised and chic on campuses, and spread outwards from there.
It also shows that, irrespective of the fact that Generation X tends to skew conservative (at least when compared to the Boomers and Generation Y), the influence and viewpoints of Gen X are essentially irrelevant.
