I don't believe Repubs are as bad now. Before the Dems went crazy , woke , extreme left, maybe. At least the Repubs don't want to "burn it all down" and usher in socialism and communism.
The political spectrum has slid left
The schools and universities ushered in and glamorized socialism/communism. Hillary made mention of her heroin college were Mao and Pol Pot and a few others.
Che’ Guevara has been galvanized since the hippie movement as the leader of the resistance movement despite being a full on communist in action.
I used to talk with a guy that grew up under the fear of Che’. He was in country when Che was killed
He had some crazy stories and was a well known graphics artist before computers. He worked for Life and few others back in the 70’s and 80’s. Mostly commuted between Miami and NYC.
