A few of these are a bit off, IMHO:
The Stupid Left thinks socialism works. The Satanic Left wants socialism because it knows it does not. thinks it will get to rule. (echoing an earlier point)
But generally good enough. Saw this in action viewing some 70s protests, where the agitators would whip up the crowd and then suddenly vanish when the riot-control police showed up.
GREAT point about the '60s leaders leaving the sheeple when the going got rough. We could see it in a similar context after the mid-term election, where suddenly none of the big Democrat leaders -- who had been everywhere prior to the event -- were available for comment. Until the radical-liberal "children of the '60s" are out of power -- or the majority of Americans wise up -- this sort of behavior will continue.
