Indeed. But as I posted yesterday. This is not new. Back in the 1990s people like Rush Limbaugh were called these names. So was George W. Bush. Now its Trump and Musk.
I do think it is losing its power though as a boogie man. Just as Alexander the Great is not really known as a demon today. Time has a way of diminishing the effectiveness of boogie men.
The thing that actually concerns me is how clueless people are about socialism and what we would lose if we give up on freedom. I can see a big swing to the left after Trump. A populist left that is basically pro-socialism.

Yeah, he is. I think many misunderstand what is going on. There is an openness to socialism because its never been properly killed as an idea. So its not scaring people. That's not why he's winning. Its because the establishment democrats are not representing their people. Same reason Trump rose to power on the right. The Republican establishment really despised their voters.
