Socialism……BOO!
Every word that (Give ‘Em Hell) Harry Truman wrote here is true, and the message resonated with most people of the time. That’s because Americans in the mid-20th Century were far more reasonable people than they are today.
Our parents had the benefit of living in a world before the news media discovered that they could manipulate various audiences for staggering profits.
Moreover, they didn’t have ever-diminishing educational standards, which ushered an orange-haired demagogue into the White House who preceded to tell over 30,000 lies in his four-year presidency, include the Big One.
Where will we go from here? It’s possible that ignorance and hate will beget more of the same, a dwindling spiral in which morons elect despicable people who drive American society into a total cesspool.
It’s also possible that we’ve hit the bottom. Trumpism/MAGA may be a nightmare from which we’re just about to wake up, gasping for breath, and thanking God that it’s over.
