History repeats itself, sort of

Those of you who are older will certainly remember the Red Scare of the '50s and '60s when things like the PSA below were shown. I even remember hearing shit in school (from the nuns) about communists. Maybe I'm drawing a narrow path here, but it seems that while Repugs are demonizing everyone who's not them they themselves are the evil demons that are being brainwashed (while trying to brainwash everyone else through their corrupt media) and also need to be stopped if our democracy is to be saved.

Maybe we are the bad guys now.
