Please notice -- they have been calling working people who are looking for equality "communists" since the beginning of time.

It is a HIT in the "right-wing-playbook". It seems to always work, so why should they change it.

Wake up folks -- our "betters" have been doing this to us since the beginning of time. Let us make OUR DEMOCRACY work!
