"Because THAT is where we are today in America"

The Chicks on the Right spell out to a squirm-inducing level the juncture at which our civilization finds itself.  They invite you to consider the implications of the people of this country electing an openly socialist mayor for New York City and an openly socialist city council member for Seattle.  They close the linked post with a grimly snort-inducing MSNBC Krystal Ball video clip singing the praises of a guaranteed minimum income.

    Socialism has an over 100 year history in the US, as you know.

    And it's time to close that chapter. It's antithetical to the American character.

    How are you going to go about closing that chapter?

    Under the charismatic leadership of Eugene V. Debs in 1912, 160 councilmen, 145 aldermen, one congressman, and 56 mayors, including Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Berkeley, California, and Schenectady, New York, were elected as Socialists. At the time, Socialists published 300 newspapers, including the Appeal of Reason, which was a Kansas-based publication with 700,000 subscribers. Membership in the Socialist Party totaled 125,000.

    Good answer. I thought you might want to summon the troops or something to forestall some domino effect.

    I miss the 50s & 60s when America was working for a living. And, generally lovin' it, at least it seemed.
