I parallel this with the teenage girl flirting with the “rebel” that her parents would never approve of. She has fun until Johnny gets “too serious” about the flirtation, then she gets scared and looks for an escape.
Thus are your average liberals who flirt with Marxism. They’ve just put a guy in office who’s “serious” about implementing it, and not just talking about the superiority of the idea in an academic sense.
Well said, Mr. B. Well said.
