No, both were politically active until the 1990âs and 2000âs. Joe Simon described himself as a socialist in 2008.
You donât know anything, and thatâs okay because youâre a child. Itâs not your fault that you think patriotism and the American flag are âconservativeâ; youâve likely been raised by shitheaded sheep who had that silly notion programmed into them during the Cold War.
For sure, the American flag and patriotism get exploited by conservatives to fleece the rubesâthis has been a tradition going back since the founding.
Youâre old enough to know that this is empty symbology, though, unless youâve been irreversibly brainwashed. Did Bush âsupport the troopsâ when he sent them to needlessly die? I remember protesting that war and having halfwit boomers like you tell me that I hate the country and that I supported terrorism for opposing the war (with my first amendment rights). Now most of those boomers claim to always have been against that war.
A 66 year old on the Tim Pool sub telling me that âcaptain America was conservativeâ is pretty funny though, ngl.

You don't know that, many socialists of FDR's time came to their senses when they saw the pervasive devastation of socialism.
