She's a Socialist! He's a Communist!

Sorry Republicans, but you're not scaring people with that anymore.

Today's internet age has given everyone a view into the way other countries operate. They see the countries of Europe with their high taxes and government benefits to the masses, and see hundreds of millions of better educated, healthier, happier people than in America. Communist countries such as China and Viet Nam have economies that have proven reasonably stable, with qualities of life far above the 3rd world standards of the past. Mention socialism to those under 40, with little or no memory of the cold war, and it barely rates a shrug. Right wing predictions of America turning into a socialist hellhole during the Clinton, Obama, and Biden administrations never materialized. Sorry Republicans, you'll have to find another scare tactic. This one isn't scary anymore. 😏

You're point is well taken, although there are not any true communist countries on Earth. Even China is not communist, but rather has a system of state capitalism.
