He continued in a similar, ranty vein, “Don’t believe the Radical Left’s Fake Poll numbers. They are Crooked and Corrupt, just like the Country Destroying Dumocrats are Crooked and Corrupt. VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR GREATNESS IN AMERICA!”

Fresh data from CNN puts his approval at a meager 34 percent, matching his post-Jan. 6 trough, while a new AP-NORC poll has him tied at a post-2017 low of 33 percent. Quinnipiac paints an even grimmer picture, dropping him to a career low of 32 percent.

btw “communists” are just any people who think the health insurance industry is fucked and way too expensive, and that all people deserve to be treated equally, and that the ultra wealthy shouldn’t have as much power as they do.

It's simpler than that. To them, "communists" and "socialists" are the same, and it's anyone that doesn't think businesses should be able to do anything they want, and any person non-conforming to their personal view of "normal" isn't even human. While most will not, some will even admit both of those publicly.

Like "DEI" and "woke," they're just synonyms for "ME NO LIKE!!"

See: "The Case for Fascism" youtube video just released by Steven Crowder. No need to watch it to give them more views, but it's fucking crazy. You can watch all kinds of reaction explainers on it.

The American Fascist Right was clearly on the wrong side when they publicly called Mister Rogers an "evil, evil man" back in 2007 (notably, 4 years after his death).

Isn’t it funny that every older generation accuses every younger generation of being weak and spoiled? This time, they wanted to scapegoat a national treasure, who did more for kids than any of their bullshit trickle-down, bootstrap, hate-filled policies.

To these cretins, they’re constantly living in fear and anger about society being on the verge of collapse, unless people buy into their hyper-masculine, violent, parternalistic and ultracapitalist worldview.
