    The word is “communist”, which is absurd when applied to this center-right politician. Unfortunately many people are so ignorant and have ingested enough anti-communist propaganda that they will believe it.

      They’re just throwing terms around that they think sound scary. Trump keeps referring to her as a socialist communist fascist, which doesn’t even make any sense.

      Did they know what Communism, “Bolshevism,” was? They did not; not my friends. Except for Herr Kessler, Teacher Hildebrandt, and young Horstmar Rupprecht (after he entered the university, in 1941), they knew Bolshevism as a specter which, as it took on body in their imaginings, embraced not only the Communists but the Social Democrats, the trade-unions, and, of course, the Jews, the gypsies, the neighbor next door whose dog had bit them, and his dog; the bundled root cause of all their past, present, and possible tribulations.

      -They Thought They Were Free— The Germans 1933-45 by Milton Mayer

      It’s been a mainstay of reactionary politics since the rise of Fascism in the early 20th century. This book follows ten “friends” the author made after the war who were members of the Nazi party.

        They intentionally called her that so you would think of it, so it’s not you, it’s them.

      The Dems can never be right wing enough to get the respect of the Repub party or its voters. I wonder if they will learn that before humans cease to exist.

      The Republican Party is being run by a bunch of boys who never matured past middle school, and their candidate admits he hasn’t really changed at all since the first grade.
