The reds have actually taken over our country.
We need to stop Chairman Trump, the communist who hates America and want to destroy our freedom and our way of life.
(can we just call the MAGAts "communist"? seems like a more potent word in this 21st century red scare era)
What Trump is doing has nothing to do with communism. It is raw naked capitalism, whose end game appears to be oligarchy, aligning itself with fascism rather than accept an egalitarian society in which it has to give up any of its advantage.
One thing you gotta know about politics, is you have to use "fascism" when your audience is on the left, but for conservatives, "communism" is a much scarier word so you should use that instead. Its basically code-switching in order to get your point across. The average people are too dumb to understand nuances so you have to dumb it down for them to understand.
