Let's watch the MAGA's heads explode explaining this one:

25. I'm retired AF and I have fun with my fellow retirees when they complain about socialism

I've been doing this for years and when I start listing everything the government provides them while in the military, as well as in retirement, you can see the blank look in their eye because their brains don't know how to process this information.

Their response, almost every time, is they earned it. Then I ask them why they're so opposed to socialism and they have that blank look in their eyes again. I will then explain to them socialism isn't a boogeyman to be afraid of. It simple provides a strong social safety net for people so they won't have to go hungry, won't have to go homeless, won't have to go broke paying for medical care, etc.. It doesn't prevent you from attaining your goals or lower your standard of living. In fact, it improves both. It doesn't mean the government is going to control or run industries or businesses or determine what gets produced.

Socialism and communism are the boogeyman words so scare the easily gullible and those who don't thin much; basically, every republican.
