The biggest danger to US democracy is not Donald Trump or the Project 2025 christofascists, it's the crushing ignorance of the US population. The gutting of the public education system means that many if not most Americans don't understand that, "fascist" isn't just a name like, "poopie head" that you call someone. It has a definition and clearly defined policies/behaviours that closely align with Trump/Vance/Johnston and their enablers. Communist and Marxist are very clearly defined things. Harris/Walz are pro business which means they are definitely NOT communists or Marxists.

If the US population were better educated and more knowledgable they would dump these Retrumplican clowns and rebuild the Republican party from scratch.

It intentional semantic drift and has been happening for a very long time. They erode harsh terms with hyperbole and make normal positions seem extreme by stereotype and strawman. That's why I prefer specifying that I'm Mutualist rather than explain how the terms socialist/capitalist have drifted out of dichotomy or how the term anarchist and libertarian have become parodies of themselves.

Republican and Democrat parties are Traitors to the Republic. Give Nancy and McConnel the Gallows.

I have a better idea than the gallows. Give them a minimum wage job that deals with customers.

A small one bedroom apartment thrown is as well, and no access to their money for a few years. just their minimum wage.

Close y'all are almost as bad as Republicans but not quite. It's still hella embarrassing to be associated with the democrats though.

Yeah, the larval stage of fascism at least pretends to care about human rights, even if they're not great about actually doing anything about them.

Capitalism (or at least the current form of it) and right-wing parties should be illegalized worldwide.

Imho the proletariat neess more class consciousness in order for this to be feasible.

Both sides are wrong, just that Democrats are center-wrong, while Republicans are far-wrong.

Communists just think you are a little bit thick and/or uneducated. Maybe a little bit cute. Like a child who doesn't know what words mean.
