Serious question, why are so many people convinced there's a strong communist sentiment in the US?

It's 2018, guys, there's no communists in America. People are not communist because they want affordable healthcare. Stop that already.

You left out one factor in your calculations when you made this: It takes brain cells to understand that. Some audience members don't really like to utilize them 1000% of the way tbh

@BlueMetalChick I mean he's trying different things than the last 2-3 presidents
but not changing the system

@lightningblue Not really, no. Still deregulating business, still outsourcing American jobs, still cutting taxes for the rich and raising it on the poor, still waging illegal offensive wars in the Middle East, still drone striking other countries. All the same shit. The only thing different is he's repealing net neutrality and going back to coal and oil instead of clean energy.

@BlueMetalChick yeah thats one thing I'm disappointed for trump, its war
he wanted to be closer to russia and fuck the world just focus on usa
It use to be associated with the left.
Now trump is so compromised by Russia he might as well be communist in sentiment.

I think it was at the Deutsche Bank where the two parteies met. It bothers me because donnie is compromising a lot of TS material, like some type of payback.

He has multiple conflicts of interest.
We will see how our institutions fare under him.

Well there ARE communists, but they're the same fringe minority they've always been. There are no communists in mainstream politics and haven't been for a very long time. Source: I am a form of communist.

I should note that communism is an umbrella term for thousands of political views. USSR-style communism is [i]one[/i] of them, and not a very popular one for obvious reasons.

The problem is that the right has pulled to such an insane extreme that they've kind of lost any sense of political perspective. They're so batshit that the concept of a centre is lost, and anyone who isn't part of the tribe is a deranged extremist.

Words have become wayyyyyy to watered down, not to mention I see too many unironic communist memes in fgt sub reddits. Makes me suspect it was imported from Tumblr. And taking any of that seriously would be something I expect from the people in this brain damaged country

It is an easy way to despise political adversaries. Same with using the words nazi or fascist.
