Exactly.
It was at the time unthinkable that the Communists had so thoroughly infiltrated the US Government, the Press, the universities, and of course the SDS, etc., etc.
The average nose-picking adolescent was raised on the Communist garbage from every angle, and of course grew up into one of the worthless geezers you see protesting at anti-ICE, or pro-Palestine rallies now.
It is disgusting but people are now waking up, mostly because the Rat/Commies are SO crazy and self destructive that they look more like florid schizoprenics with every passing day. It is also because of the young, guided by heroes like Kirk.
These young don't want to be gypped out of their American legacy, and they won't be.
