I wonder if the leftists in the democrat party are going to fracture it by being so extreme. BTW, you posted later about co-opting langauge. That is an old communist trick. Probably used before then as well. If you have never read this, I highly recommend Wild Swans, the story of the girls of a Chinese family who eventually came to America. But what is jaw-dropping is their (true) description of the way propaganda and language was used to control the people. black was literally white, good was bad. It is a dead ringer - though perhaps we are less extreme - for what is going on here.

Thanks for the tip! I will pick it up tomorrow at the library! Sounds like a very interesting book and something we should all read!

"Wild Swans, the story of the girls of a Chinese family who eventually came to America."

I've read that book, many years ago. Like you, I'd highly recommend it.
