      Ah, but then they’d have to start asking the uncomfortable questions

    Three outcomes would lead from this:

    1. Heated political debate occurs and it leads to a break up.

    2. She’s gonna use communist dog whistles to convince him that “Marxism-Leninism good actually”

    3. Nothing really happens outside of a growing worry from the Marxist partner for their liberal partner.

      Why’d you put " ‘Marxism-Leninism good actually’ " in quotes? Also I don’t think anyone learns theory from dog whistles

        Dog whistles as in: do not trigger him with the card carrying communist language, as for the quotes there’s the whole “[x] good/bad actually” things I’m seeing on the internet-

          Dog whistles refer to stuff that people that know know, but people that don’t know don’t know. If he isn’t already communist, then it’ll all fly over his head. Y’know?

          Also I interpreted that part sarcastically because of the quotes, but I got you. Tone’s hard to convey through text

            Yeah get ya too, my wording’s scuffed and it’s hard to tell if people’s joking or genuine through just typed-in words.
