What Dims know they are peddling is Socialism Lite. They just keep trying to rebrand it as something else. There aren’t nearly enough people in the South anymore who would give up their free will to allow that sort of infection to spread again. Sure, you have your Atlantas, your Selmas, your Birminghams, but that sort of liberal squalor festers in pockets all across the land. We have it surrounded. Dims of fifty years ago were about the equivalent of Romneyesque RINOs of today. Today’s Dims have strayed so far off the left shoulder of the road, they’re not even in the same zip code anymore. Yesterday’s Leftist radical is today’s mainstream face of the ‘Rat Party.
They’d have to move well to the right to be “Socialism Lite.” The GOP is Socialist. The Democrats are outright Totalitarian/Fascist/Communist.
Excellent observation!
