    Republicans went from Nixon to Reagan to George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, and finally to Trump, Pence, Marjorie Taylor Green, and Lauren Bobert… It’s like they are deliberately trying to elect stupider people every year.

    At this rate, by 2032 the Republican presidential nominee will be just be a brick with a Hitler mustache glued to it.

      Sign me up either way. I’ll gladly take democratic ownership of corporations over our current stage of managerial feudalism anyday.

        Communism definitely has its own set of advantages and disadvantages, but the Republican Party just label everything they don’t like “communism” and “socialism.” Sometimes they even throw a “radical” in there. Words have lost all meaning.

    US right wing thought process:

    Anything they disagree with = Communism (outside the USA calling “commie” sounds straight from the lips of General Jack D Ripper to outsiders.)

    Anything they agree with = Democracy

      Actually right now even democracy is considered a dirty word, they even say that US isn’t democracy, but a republic (ignoring what republic is).

      They already started conditioning their minions, that dictatorship isn’t really all that bad.

      The ironic thing is that the primary reason why communism is bad is that it normally comes together with totalitarism.

    Her entire political career is based on saying loud dumb shit, no policy, no progress just REEEEE. She’d disappear tomorrow if everyone decided to stop paying attention to her

      I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the goal. While everyone’s listening to her deranged rambling, the other scumbags are probably scheming in the shadows.

      Ignoring her would definitely be the best thing.

    Its reactionary bullshit. Republicans have just become the “anti-democrats”

    I think people should throw this stuff back at them.

    MTG is communism. Canceling student debt forgiveness is woke. Stopping aid to Ukraine is part of the trans-agenda.

    Etc

    Everyone here knows she’s well aware it doesn’t mean anything, right? To the fascists it’s just a buzzword they use to rile up their base.
