      I would like to think so, but like I said to someone else, Trump and his contemporaries were all taught in school the exact same bullshit and it stuck.

      Unfortunately, it’s hard to see the benefits of socialism if you are never exposed to it directly and fed a steady diet of propaganda against it during your formative years.

      I’m sure after the success of the New Deal, conservatives were overjoyed to find a way to denounce any and all social welfare programs again by just calling it all communism, and it basically worked.
