Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.
Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.
But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.
A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.
All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.
Are the family values in the room with us?

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.
But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.
Where is the outrage over that?

Straw Man Argument
A logical fallacy that involves misrepresenting an opponents position by presenting a distorted or exaggerated version of their argument.
This fallacy doesn't engage with the actual argument, but instead creates a "straw man" version that is easier to defeat.
