"They aren't just liberals anymore. If you look at the Democrat Party, they're a party of communists and Marxists and socialists."
Don't you feel owned?

Bernardo de La Paz
(57,017 posts)It won't help them because ordinary citizens, who might be low info and inclined to simply trust "the government", ... ordinary citizens will be exposed to the extremity of it more and more. As time goes on, they will increasingly get the impression that the people running the government are over the top, getting bizarre, not making sense, lying.
The regime is a bit desperate because they know they are dropping in the polls, so they want to keep their base and they think that the more extreme they paint the opposition (i.e. us), the more the citizens will rally to their side thinking the US is under attack from ... us. But it will backfire.
Little things like FEMA weak late response begin to be noticed and remembered more.
The charade is wearing thin and becoming more obvious to the people whose adherence is wavering, the people they most desperately are trying to keep away from ... us.

Reminds me of Trump calling a reporter "evil" for asking him a legitimate question he couldn't or wouldn't answer.

(3,334 posts)"McCarthy characterized Truman and the Democratic Party as soft on, or even in league with, Communists, and spoke of the Democrats' 'twenty years of treason'."
The crazy lunatics that we have the fascists, the Marxists, the communists, the people that we have that are actually running the country, Trump said this month at a rally in Wisconsin. Those people are more dangerous the enemy from within than Russia and China and other people.

We've been here before. How confident are you that we can beat authoritarianism again?
rubbersole
(10,095 posts)This authoritarian takeover attempt, although backed by unlimited money, has yet to feel the impact of skyrocketing prices and empty store shelves. Calling political opponents names (they couldn't define) and blaming Biden isn't going to placate consumers. Shit is going to hit the fan. Shortly.

(113,680 posts)She went in thinking cost cutting was her only function and that the more people she threw out of work, the happier her Lard and Savior would be with her.
She had jo idea there was an actual job that needed to be done and if she didn't do it people would die and some of those people would be children and they'd die hard.
That's why all this little fuckup can do is spit venom. She's hoping we won't notice who and what she is and what she did and didn't do.
Foljsm we're going to need a tribunal for this bunch when this is over.

(1,591 posts)consequences. Not that I think anyone should be waiting until 2028 at this point anyhow. 2026 is the last chance to even remotely right the ship, and the chances of that being both a free and fair election are NOT high.

(13,991 posts)Republicans, especially MAGA and other right-wing extremists (and the entire GOP party of scaredy-cat suckups) have run very, very far to the right over the last 30-40 years. It seems that when you're a fascist, everyone else looks like a socialist to you.

She projects her obsessions on others. Just a few days ago she claimed a deported person was self cannibalizing. Hope her illness is not advancing.
Satirical post.
Mysterian
(5,766 posts)so she resorts to the ol' call 'em all commies routine. I never thought I would see the republican party fall so far to become outright seditious liars and traitors with a make-up splattered con-man like Trump as its leader. They have dragged the entire U.S.A. into the gutter.
