This irrational fear of socialism from some politicians in the US looks so bizarre from Canada, a country with universal healthcare and some kind of social net that is still sadly very much under the grasp of destructive capitalism.

Are those politicians terrified the people could be healthy, fed, safe, and happy? What exactly terrifies them here?

@Em0nM4stodonEm :official_verified: Nothing about this terrifies them. It’s performative creation of a boogeyman to distract US citizens from the real causes of the problems in this country.

What does worry them is the possibility that people will see through the subterfuge and realize what they are doing. That’s why they work so hard to silence criticism and generate so much anti socialism propaganda.
