3. The bad thing is I know these people
Not them specifically, but the people who take this stance. I have family members that literally advocate stolen elections and the destruction of the Bill of Rights to prevent 'leftists' from having power. The worst thing is, they're not even rich. They're barely middle class. They're hanging on to everything by a thread and several are in debt up to their ears with inadequate healthcare. Two of them are looking at inadequate retirement benefits.

Yet they still have this attitude because they've been conditioned to have it. And they've never slowed down and stopped to ask themselves, okay, forget the rhetoric, what policies are in my best interests?

If more Americans would do that, just that, we would have so much more power.

4. This kid has no idea of what is on that sign.
He is on a path of hate led by his parents.

5. He also looks like he doesn't want to be there, either.
And I'm sure he was not alive during McCarthyism - it was 30 years before I was born, it was probably 50 before this kid was. :rofl:

6. Yep, too young to know anything about either communism or McCarthyism.
Good night, and good luck.

7. That kid looks to be about twelve,
and he does not look happy to be there either.

There's reason to be hopeful that, once he understands the meaning of those words on his shirt, he will not agree with them.

I feel sorry for him. He's a sad kid being raised by hateful bigots.
