It does when it’s used as an excuse to tear down our system “for the good of the people”.That has nothing to do with Marxism.

What now?Yeah, so what?
The poor should pay more, especially if they want to vote
What now?
Which means I am much closer to the American founding fathers then most modern Americans. Many of the founders were actual monarchists, they lived in states with established churches, and I am not aware of any who supported unconditional universal franchise@EMNofSeattle is a self-identified Catholic Monarchist, LostInSeattle. He dismisses the presumptive value of democracy in general, and does not truck with universal enfranchisement. He will be more than happy to discuss his ideal society at length with you if you wish to hear it.

There was a Catholic family from Maryland amongst them, whether they were monarchists I do not know.Mayhap, EMNofSeattle. But none of them were Catholic monarchists to my recollection.
nope the left cares about culutral issues such as racism a lot more than "unionization" and wagesAsk any typical leftist what issues they are most concerned about. I guarantee you most are going to respond with: Health care, environment, unionization, and wages. Very very few are going to say they care most about the myriad of cultural issues reactionary conservatives are crying over.
Yet another silly hyperbolic response. What social issue is making our country 'literally die?'

Yes it is. No one is voting left because they want ILWU local 3729 to win the Cleveland warehouse contracts.Simply not true. Stop spending all your time on Twitter to get your 'info.'
The dice where cast when Reagan got into bed with the evangelicals. From that point on pandering to the religious Right was #1 to get elected.Seems like more than ever conservatives are hyper focused on cultural debates and far less focused on economic issues. While I consider many cultural and societal issues to be important, they are often used as a distraction from our economic problems. I think a big reason why conservatives are so focused on culture is because they dont know where they stand on economics. Are they free market or protectionist? Pro big corporation or anti big corporation? They dont know. It seems like the American conservative movement is stuck in limbo and so they direct their ire towards non issues like Mr Potato Head or publication of Dr. Seuss books no one has ever read.
total lieSimply not true. Stop spending all your time on Twitter to get your 'info.'
Really?
