That is true, but good luck telling some people that Medicare for all isn’t literally ‘roll out the red banners and start building brutalist apartment towers’ communism. It’s a weird thing in America, the conservative populist wing screamed that anything government did (except military vibrators, police, and roads) was a communist plot for so long that a bunch of people who are objectively not socialists but want a strong welfare state decided “Well, shit, I guess we’re socialists now. Cool.”.

Action Idea: Faith equals persistence. If you believe you can, you can. Walt Disney said, will see it when you believe it. They spent days in jail, the poor bastards. Who were they? The unknown tailgaters and bratwurst eaters, the mustache combers, the last of the old timers, the aluminum siding boys, the bungalow dwellers, the masses from the Back of the Yards, the pub rats and union goons. These were the real fans.
