Centrist Democrats like Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom seem to think the best way to disparage Donald Trump is to highlight his departures from free-market orthodoxy. Good luck with that.

    I’m only being pedantic because the media is just running with this story that Harris says trump is a commie, and it’s not quite true. I’d argue she’s more comparing our government under Trump to that under a communist dictator. It’s not a big difference, but I think the weight of her statement is that Trump is a dictator not that he’s a communist. I don’t think that use of the word “communism” was an accident because it does stir some emotions in Americans because for 70+ years we’ve been ingrained with the idea that communism == dictatorship.

    Trump is a piece of shit, waste of oxygen, dictator wannabe and Putin puppet, but he’s not a communist, and I think that this narrative takes the current situation and dilutes it a little bit. Idk if I articulated that well, but at the end of the day, fuck Trump, and fuck conservatives. They’re all a bunch of cunty fuck faces.
