> [@Chimera](#): > > You mean all these years calling Obama a \*\*SOCIALIST \*\*didn’t sink in and make you quake in terror at the very mention of the word? > > Geez, what are you, a free thinker or something? It’s the sneer that does it. Politically active conservatives certainly have that down. Get enough people to sneer a common word in derision often enough and an innocuous word becomes a political attack. A warrior for social justice is a bad thing? Black lives don’t matter? Sweden’s political ideology makes it a hellscape? ---

> [@ddsun](#): > > He’s never coming back to the thread, is he? I really wanted to know what he was trying to say. ☹ I thought the OP was very clear. I’ll spell it out for you. Bernie Sanders is going to be elected, and at around the same time, for some reason that I admit I can’t exactly follow, rich people are going to be sitting in corners clutching one-dollar bills and crying. In this connection the OP laments that he “cannot in any logical assumption agree with any republican aside that Hillary has anything to offer to our society”. Left unstated, but clearly implied, is that the bone hogs be glamming on the mizzen masts, and the corn pones be it. The existentialist dilemma is palpable. Also, the War on Terrorism can be “solved” – here you have to forgive a somewhat tortuous linguistic aberration – by enlisting some mental health professionals and religious nuts, and that’ll fix it all up. This seems extremely clear to me, aside from why all the rich people are crying and why they only have one-dollar bills and have to sit in corners. But otherwise, how hard is this to understand? Are you some kind of hardcore socialist? I bet you are. ---
