    You’re half right. Americans as a whole don’t need to absorb context, but American conservatives do.

    The rest of us are well aware of what’s going on. There are democrats in our government that are pretending to be against “socialism”, but they are old and these clearly dated policies aren’t going to last.

    I get the feeling most of that nonsense was just fear mongering to force Biden into office instead of Bernie four years ago.
