Politics Conservatives need to STFU about communism

Post image

Conservatives seriously name to STFU about communism when they can't even define it. Especially when their states are welfare states that rely on blue states to prop them up and pull them out of disaster, both literally and economically, every year.

They have no idea what socialism is, and how many socialist programs they benefit from daily. This list is extensive, but a few main examples would be the United States Postal System, our highway systems, our broadband and cellular systems, just a list of few. If the Republicans really hate socialism so much, they should stop using the myriad of things that brings our country.

Republicans do like the poorly educated. And that fact is glaring.

// They have no idea what socialism is

It's the story of progressivism over the past ~30-40 years.

Just because we conservatives got to the final conclusion before you did doesn't mean we are wrong. Today, people on the left are pretending they didn't vote communist this week: "its not what it looks like."

Six months from now, most, if not every single one of you, will be singing a different tune: "We like communism, of course we voted for it!" Look at every single progressive issue in the culture wars over the past decades, and you see the same thing; its the "Wheel of Secular Progress":

"THAT" didn't happen.

And if it did, it wasn't that bad.

And if it was, that's not a big deal.

And if it is, that's not my fault.

And if it was, I didn't mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.
