  1. “All in” for Ms. Swain’s book – “Abduction” – She hit the nail on the head. The tiny socialist movement in America that promotes snowflakes who know nothing but protest, are now our aging losers from the late 70’s and 80’s. They will die-off – as will this “movement” – exposed as the failed Marxists they are. Sorry. No such thing as a free lunch, so protest this.
