Perhaps the terrorism is far more closely associated with socialism in national and international politics than perceived by many.
First flag I noticed hanging from a window after the toppling of Saddam was the good ol' hammer and sickle on a field of red. That was even before Old Glory was raised in the town square, then ordered taken down. That proves the point democrats are truly Marxists, Stalinists and Trotskyites, they have a party discipline conservatives and Republicans lack. I have yet to hear or read a democrat state "they will be staying home if they run "X" candidate. Only Republicans/conservatives take that luxury, generally claiming the false flag of "principle".
