The disconcerting headline (disconcerting to Tea Party people!) in Rick Moran’s piece in American Thinker:
"Socialism is going mainstream, and Millennials are the
cause"
From the article:
A headline in The Hill captures a
significant moment in American history: "Four socialist-backed candidates win
Pennsylvania legislative primaries."
The Democratic Socialists of America
supported all four candidates, who will almost certainly win in November,
given their lack of GOP opponents.
The DSA itself thinks socialism's time has
come:
The DSA hailed
the legislative victories as a huge moment for the socialist movement.
Arielle Cohen,
co-chair of the Pittsburgh DSA chapter, told HuffPost that she feels a
"monumental shift" after the victories, noting DSA's growing
membership since President
Trump's election.
"We won on
popular demands that were deemed impossible. We won on health care
for all, we won on free education," she said.
"We're
turning the state the right shade of red tonight," she added.
The "right shade of red" is due
to a growing acceptance for socialism, especially among Millennials, and
outright hostility and opposition to capitalism.
. . .
How did this happen? The short answer is
that the American people are ignorant of the dangers to human liberty posed by
socialism and have been propagandized by our educational system, our culture,
and our media to hate capitalism. If you are told capitalism is evil
for your entire life by teachers, movies, TV, and news media, you are going to
believe that capitalism is evil.
