"I am a child, and for whatever reason was trained to use the word 'communism' as 'bad'. I have not grown beyond this. Broccoli is communism."

It's weird, they pride themselves in "not trusting the government" yet a core part of their identity is them trusting what the government has to say about one of its rivals.
