Excellent column which should be required reading for all millennial sons and daughters — who have no idea where this “cool” brand of populist rhetoric leads. Ideas have consequences, and the candidates’ moral and political philosophies matter.
A lot of conservatives thought that exposing Obama (and now Sanders) as Bolsheviks would hurt them; it is high time we accepted the fact that much of their support is BECAUSE of that ideology. This is no longer a Christian culture, and capitalism has left a mess here due to outsourcing and importing of Third World labor; plenty of voters WANT communism - they simply see no alternative better for them. It probably has to fail (like ObamaCare and Red (capital R) states’ economies) before they see the light.

They will only say “this time will be different because we know how to do socialism the right way, ie, democratic socialism where we all get to vote on who divides the wealth.”
How do you inform a group like the Millennials who do not read and cannot watch videos for, at most, 30 minutes before wandering off?
Required reading for them is the twitter message they just got.
