As I recall, Hermie sort of overestimated his capacity and asked the druggist for three dozen “rubbers” in preparation for his big night on the beach - kind of like the ‘rats are badly overestimating how big their gains are going to be in the midterms this fall......
Karl Marx HATED the middle class.
He HATED them.
He wanted them DEAD.
He wanted their blood FLOWING in the streets.
But you middle class Marxists just love your Socialism. :)
The summer--and fall--of '42 wasn't exactly a season of happy days for the Left. In the November election, the GOP picked up 47 House seats and eight Senate seats. New representatives included Clare Boothe Luce, future ambassador to Italy, and Norris Poulson, future mayor of Los Angeles, along with Walter Judd and Avin O'Konski, who for years would serve as articulate spokesmen in the House for the conservative cause. In the Senate, new faces included Kenneth Wherry and Homer Ferguson, who would remain thorns in the side of the Left for many years.
So the crypto socialists take off their masks and reveal there are really sociopaths. Gee wally, two years of watching them assault innocent civilians on our streets, kinda gave those of us with functioning brains, a clue.
