I must admit that it was not until the election of that effete, urbane, young socialist to the highest office of the land, in parallel with the emergence of social media that I became fully aware of the alarming degree to which communism has succeeded in the last few decades and of the staggering number of fellow Americans, many near my age and should certainly know better, who either seem blissfully unaware of the danger or worse - have become useful idiots parroting their propaganda. The speed at which this deterioration is occurring is dizzying and I fear is irreversible.
