or listed on any voter role as registered as or voted for Democratic. We're the hippies and the flower children from the 60's and 70's that Nixon abhorred and tried desperately to get rid of. "Communist" is just a synonym for these men for whomever they don't like or agree with. You're right, they wouldn't know one if it rolled up and kicked 'em in the balls... such a person already has, and they've broken bread and given aid and comfort to him for decades now, among others. But for some reason, what we see as treason isn't treason, and thus we couldn't charge trump with such a thing. So, we just allowed him to give even more top secret info to Putin, all the while Putin was kicking 'em all around and laughing. We can only hope the people of the U.S. are as strong and hungry for democracy and self-government as the people for Hungary were; and that we can take good notes.
