with weasel stories if you ask them to define "communism" and then give them a real world example of it. If they pick one, it'll be something that people in the US need and depend upon - like Medicare, medicaid, and Social security. And they'll look and sound like the pricks they truly are. This is going to be such a dirty election season. I dread it.
