Unpacking the Fear: Why is Socialism So Scary for So Many?
Fear of socialism didn’t come from nowhere. It was built over decades, with intent, through propaganda, education, and cultural framing. But the result is a public that often fears a distorted version of socialism more than the very real harms of unchecked capitalism.
We Won’t Go Back
So, as I sit here on the eve of yet another election, I fear for our country. I fear for our freedoms. And I fear for the rights of women and for the future of our children. I fear for the immigrants, legal or otherwise, and for the minority communities that give our country its soul.
But I am hopeful, too. This election is a referendum on the country America wishes to be. And I still believe in that best version of America, that beacon on the hill that shines as an example to freedom-loving people everywhere.
Remember as you go to the polls today… We can’t go back. We won’t go back.
