12. It's SOS as far as the GOP is concerned

Nov 3

They started this communism when Bernie entered the picture in 2015. It worked for them then, and sure as hell they are going to try it again. It's all bullshit, and they know it. However, this time around, it appears the people have finally figured it out that Mamdani's policies are the farthest thing from communism.

Fascism is now in full display, and the GOP thinks that is the acceptable way of life. 10s of millions of people are completely against fascism. I am one of them. I personally don't see any problem with more socialism than we already have. I fully support free education(we use to have that) and healthcare for all, just to name a few. I honestly thought "We the people" actually meant "We the people". NOT "We the dictatorship".
