Literally talking with 99% of boomers and trying not to say socialism or communism when they already agree with 100% of your talking points.

I've learned to call it socialized capitalism when I talk to older generations, and I'm pretty old. I find it an easier pill for them to swallow. We have to remember that the baby boomers were children in the middle of the red scare, that shit got internalized deep. It's almost like they're traumatized.

Legit feels Pavlovian, like you've sent them back into their teens watching/listening to McCarthy ranting to them on their TV/Radio, it'd be funny if it wasn't so horrifically sad
