The GOP & "Socialism"

The GOP is pulling out all the stops with "socialism!"

They yelled it at Obama for 8 years.
They've yelled it at us Democrats for decades.
They've called every social program under the sun "socialism!"

Guess what? It has never worked. The only ones buying this are those who believe the Red Army is outside their door and would never vote for any of our candidates to begin with.

Take it away AOC.....drag the shit out of the Texas GOP!

If it's non-conservative, conservatives/Republicans call it "liberal" or "lllllllllllliiiiiibbbbbbbbeeerrrraaaallllll!!!!"

If it's actually liberal, they call it "socialist", "Marxist", or "communist".

Even if the "remembering" means having read about it and know that they did.

don't even know what "socialism" is apparently as AOC is a Democratic Socialist.
