Not to mention equating liberal policy with communism. Just because a public service didn't exist before 1945 doesn't make it communism. By blind conservative logic public high schools, fire departments and garbage collectors are communist organizations. Public healthcare and free college education are no different. You can be conservative and agree education and medicine are just as essential as police or anything tax money pays for. People need to stop equating human rights with socialism.

The term "socialism" in conservative circles has no actual definition.

It's a scary buzzword used to mean "Democrats destroying America."
