    most people who hate socialism don’t even know what it is, but will reel at the mere mention of it. how do we even begin to fix this?

      My aunt. We sat down and got to talking policy. Not politics. And I went point by point over policy and proved to her that she was a socialist.

      But as soon as I said the scary S word her pavlovian conditioning kicked in and she tore off on a rant.

      Try it yourselves. This country is filled with socialists. They just don’t know it.
