The interesting question for the historians is how the Democratic Party transformed itself into the American Bolshevik Party? Bush created the seeds for it when he created the grand alliance of crooks so he could invade Iraq. Obama built on it, and then Trump came along and took the big slice out of the center leaving the democrats with their radicals and GOPe with their cron capitalist crooks.
1960s, LBJ. Socialism - food stamps, AFDC, Headstart and no doubt a lot more. When did HUD get born? And of course long ago, FDR. The hardcores just hid in the shadows for a while. They hate McCarthy and he was proven totally RIGHT!
