“Thirteen socialists walk into a West Virginia bar,” is the opening line of an NPR article published last week profiling the state’s chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
The introduction seemed much like the setup for a “walks into a bar” one-liner joke, leading to a punch line. But wait, there was one: “Jesus Is a Socialist,” said one of the DSA members interviewed by NPR — a sentiment echoed by Stephen Colbert while praising the face of democratic socialism, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
