When, I think of "socialism," I think of modern day Scandinavian health care, not Soviet-era Russia. Who do these pants -wetting idiots think they're scaring?
Ah yes scandinavian healthcare where I can't get my doctor to give a fuck about my back pain because people under 30 don't have back pain obviously

Who do these pants -wetting idiots think they're scaring?
The boomers who grew up during the Cold War and who continue to have better voter turnout rates than Millennials, even as the latter generation sneaks up on their 40s.

This isn't an endorsement of conservative fear mongering but rather calling out my fellow Millennials, who've recently surpassed boomers as the most populous generation in the US.
Show up and vote, god dammit.
