    Like when they thought he was going to give everybody free internet, when what he really meant was giving us more opportunity of a free market of internet.

    Same familiar rhetoric: “It’s literally Socialism!!!”

      One of the big (and actually valid) concerns about socialism is “the government giveth, the government taketh away”.

      Socialism is a great goal but I think this year kinda taught us that we are much further away from realizing that goal than we thought we are, if a dude like trump can come in with the trifecta and rip it all to shreds overnight, like a bully to a 5th grade diorama.
