broad brush... and all that. 

 I’m not painting with a broad brush I mean this literally. Communists are scum. Every last one of them. 

 I'm just saying, at first you say "leftist" and now you're conflating it with "communist". Maybe dial back the over-simplication and give it some measured, considered thought. 

 It’s the same thing 

 And here in lies the problem. But its all good. You're free to believe whatever you wish. Good luck! 

 Stay safe from the commie scum my friend. 

 Maybe some reading you can add to your list sometime 😉

 McCarthy didn’t go far enough. 

 We are all taught in public school how terrible he was to all those poor hollywood commies but he was a visionary. Patton should have taken Moscow.  

 Scum just is. I do believe there are people captured by scummy thinking though. It will always be this way. But everyone, at some point, was not consumed by scum. And so everyone has the chance to again be free of the scum. Some people though, won’t be freed. Because they do stupid, scummy shit and they die.
