The Venezuelan experience is currently being denied.

Socialism demands a return to childhood dependence and the infantile world of subjective reality epitomized in the Green New Deal.
Socialism is a tough sell to Americans who evaluate ideas based on facts and a remarkably easy sell to Americans who evaluate ideas based on feelings. The adult world of facts is a foreign land to the infantilized world of feelings where low-info millennial voters currently dwell. The heated political battle between Americanism and Socialism parallels the battle between parents and their children who refuse to grow up emotionally and leave the nest.
Becoming an emotional adult requires embracing a fact based cause-and-effect view of the world that rejects the fantasies of childhood. “No Johnny, you cannot fly like a bird even though you really really really want to.” What happens if Johnny insists that he can fly and takes a confident leap from a tall building?
We are at the point where takers will soon will be more than makers.
The Venezuelan experience is currently being denied.
The Eternal Anthem of Denial:
“But this time it’s different.”
Oh of course. But to lots of people socialism seems nice.
And that, is exactly, what they try to do.
“They couldn’t pay me to vote for a socialist agenda. /s”
Much easier now that many people are convinced they are the victims of something, and their problems are someone else’s fault. One political party specifically has been pushing that for quite some time..
Do you know the bloody history and political violence worldwide by Socialists (real name is Communism) Go get educated!
Let Johnny take a flying leap. Push him if you have to. Stupidity should hurt. Never discount the spiritually transforming experience of pain.

I didn't say it Rapscallion, Yardstick did... Go yell at him, her, whatever... :)
Socialism is wonderful to people who think it means they don’t have to work for a living.
