“many cited fears of socialism/communism, concerns about the Democrats being anti-oil industry, and social justice protests that turned violent” It’s heartening to learn that the Democrats are anti-oil industry. For awhile, I was worried that they might be taking corporate money and would continue (like the GOP) to speed the destruction of the climate and the extinction of the human race. Just for the record, Biden is no socialist. I’m amused that wanting some regulation of giant corporations and wanting the use of the American people’s tax dollars to actually help the American people is considered socialist. As usual, accusations of socialism are made by people who don’t know the meaning of the word. Oh, and the vast majority of protesters were NOT violent. This kind of excuse is why, for example, 58,000 American died in Vietnam with public support — because the hippie protesters allegedly needed a bath. This article is filled with tired nonsense.
