There are way to many people who are second hand communist. They’re not reading Marx or Alinsky.
They are useful idiots,pawns, and even some are sellouts.
Most of them don’t care they just know someone wants to give them “free” stuff and someone else wants them to make a effort at being self reliant.
Someone posted last week -
the adult that says “no more free candy” to a room full of children is NOT going to be popular.
