@Hoss Apparently preferring congressmen who aren't bought and paid for by a foreign government is enough for some right-wingers with really, really big brains to accuse you of being a Communist
I noticed something similar happening to Jon Hamm. He got memed from Mad Men as a based misogynist and since then he's gotten a lot of roles tearing him down; in Black Mirror he gets fucked over with Orwellian technology and in Fargo he gets prison raped.
