    I wonder how many phone calls with donors have already been held within earshot of that bust?

    It's window-dressing designed to keep the Democratic Socialists thinking they didn't just elect a crass power-peddling charlatan President.

    It’s way too soon for that. They’ll be busy obsessing about Trump for at least another year before they slow down enough to think about anything else.

    Are we calling Chavez a communist because he was a union leader? Because I'm assuming it's not because he was a proponent of telling his followers to turn in illegal immigrants, and accused the federal govt of allowing more an more illegals into the nation in order to undermine unions. He literally hated illegal immigrants. Look up "wet line." If you do, I guess you could kinda call him a thug.
    The "communist Chavez" belief, came from the same playbook that Hoover FBI used with MLK, because he was organizing Brown people, and getting them to recognize their political power - as long as he was in charge. Chavez was more of a petty tyrant than a communist. So no, that bust shouldn't be there, but not because he is believed to be a communist. He certainly wasn't that.

    But in replacing Andrew Jackson, I really can't say Chavez's ultimate body of work is worse. That whole "Trail of Tears," thing really hurts Jackson.

    Not all democratic socialism is created the same. Socialism isn't communism. Communism is just one kind of socialism. Communism isn't democratic. If it were people would be able to vote themselves out of it once they figured out how ****** they were. Democratic socialism is a kind of socialism where the workers are part owners in the means of production. I don't mean like as in stock options as a perk of employment. But more like...well, like unions sort of owning the companies. A big problem with that is that you still have a hierarchy of people who have the power, and you still don't have it. It's like any collective. There's someone at the top and it's effectively their baby. You're just a nobody.

    Socialism is a stop on the train track to communism.

    This country was never intended to be, nor should it ever have anything to do with socialism. Hundreds of thousands have given up virtually everything to come here and escape the ******** lies of socialism and communism but somehow, magically it’s gonna work out this time. Maybe it was actually great all along and the immigrants were all just morons who didn’t know how good they had it before.

    It has always failed to provide the quality of life and freedoms of our democratic republic, every single time. Yet the ”educated” (which has been redefined to mean indoctrinated) are so arrogant they believe they’re smarter than basically every human being involved in forming this country and braver than every man and woman who died attaining or defending it.

    Gullible fools whose grandchildren will read about their failures in history books and ask them why. To which I’m sure the answers will be based on the same set of illusions and flat out lies the left and media puts on display today.

    -Excerpted from an Atlantic Op piece by Ta-Nehisi Kutes in a parallel universe, upon Joe Biden receiving the Nobel Peace Prize his first day in office:

    "...In what should have been no surprise to anyone, and most certainly not anyone acquainted with the pervasive social tail-wind which always accompanies the bloody heirloom of white supremacy, the unearned wages of fortunate racial identity wasted no time bestowing themselves upon Joe Biden, who upon his first day in office, claimed that same esteemed Prize which had eluded America's equally-qualified yet less-favorably-pigmented First Black President through the duration of nearly nine months of continuous toil..."

    I think the real disrespect is getting rid of the Diet Coke button.

    Often history does not learn the despotic secrets of leaders until long after their fall from power. I myself have wondered, what terrible artifacts of Trump's Oval Office Reign will be uncovered after his term is over? Torture of dissidents? Secret "enemies lists?" Ceaucescu-like secret police forays?

    No:

    The man...had a button on his phone...to order Diet Coke. (insert swoon here)

    Stand by for stores refusing to carry Diet Coke because it is a hate-filled, white-supremacist, racist, misogynistic, Nazi beverage.

    Proof that the left doesnt have everything covered, they missed that one!
