done covertly.
Stealthily, dishonestly.
They don’t mind socialism, they have a big problem with acknowledging it.
The black marxist was fine, he lied about it.
Fat Hillary was fine, she lied about it.
But those two gave the AOC types the confidence to come out. Screaming.
Thin Lizzie would not have campaigned like such a radical if bernice anders hadn’t pushed everyone leftward.
Socialism requires lies and stealth. Incrementalism. The overt socialists today are in a hurry. They don’t have the patience of obama.
The socialists’ reign for eight years led to overconfidence in fat hillary vs trump. That overconfidence brought them to the surface where they could be identified and destroyed.
The Democrats‘ big mistake was not believing bernice anders was for real. They didn’t think he was for real in 2016 either, and they had to cheat to win.
Probably thought he was too old this year. He is, but his voters don’t know that. Sanders is Genuine. He is an anti-American, socialist piece of garbage, but he is honest about it. He lies about the destructive implications of socialism, not about being one.
Voters are tired of business as usual from politicians. The lies, the corruption, the pandering.
That voter perspective is what got Trump elected.
I said in 2016 that the republican party needed to be shaken up or shaken apart. That is happening.
The Democrats must now reinvent themselves as well. They must go full bore socialist, or return to the center and either honestly disavow socialism or camouflage it.
