This but replace socialists with republicans and replace communists with fascists
Those monsters are*checks notes* busting up slum lords!
DC Draino is such a cool guy that Ashley St. Clair dumped him and had a baby with Elon Musk instead
"DC_Draino" just sounds like a failed marketing attempt for a drain cleaner.
I'm such a broken record about this, but an uncle of mine called me a "communist who hates America" because I argued in favor of the ACA.
“Socialism is a scareword Republicans have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last…” 100 years.
"We have to stop calling them ... uh" *checks paper* "communists! Wait, no we have to start calling them that. Oh we already do?"
Are the violence and tyranny in the room with us
Not police state republicans?
as a communist it's genuinely insulting, chuck schumer isn't a fucking "radical Marxist"
His name sounds like a drainage company for the DC area, which is fitting given how much shit he spouts.
Lmao.
How is this any different than what they already do , They called kamala harris a communist.
OH NOoOooooooOo they’re going the thing they've already been doing for decades!!!! Anyway anyone else remember when they called Kathy hochul a communist.. bsky.app/profile/feen...
Democrats, What’s Good? A 100-point plan for the Democratic Party RESTORE REFORM REVOLVE Ever wonder why Dem Leaders have NO Plan? That’s their plan - the status quo regardless of how far right republicans and trump push America open.substack.com/pub/dissenti...
James Carville HATES the Democratic Party Carville is a Southern White Racist Sexist Classist Fascist who infiltrated the Democratic Party to make it MORE REPUBLICAN A way to Bamboozle Blacks, Latinos, Women and Liberals into thinking the Republican (Centrists) were Liberal
I wish the Dems were even half as cool as these chuds say they are.
DC Draino is a crackpot.
Okay, violent tyrannical fascist
the opposition that cried “communist”
Demonizing the politics of “everyone eats.” And “everyone loves inside.” Is never not weird and yet Republicans love to do it.
"...and Methodists!" -Hedley Lamarr
“You call everyone who disagrees with you a Nazi! Like a communist!”
I'm well aware the whole 'Anything I don't like or disagree with is a communist' thing isn't new or uncommon. Whenever I see this kinda comment now it makes me think of when Knowledge Fight went back to some really early Alex Jones shows and he was routinely calling George W an "Arch Communist"
Also like, I fuckin wish lmao
Remembering this lady youtu.be/2E87gciwebw?...
A vote for Bart is a vote for ANARCHY
This time they mean it. 😅
lol they finally found a picture of him where he’s frowning
I mean if they’re comparing a run of the mill left leaning centrist to a communist, they’ve clearly got comprehension issues
Yea they are exactly like Obama *run clips of Obama being called a Communist* Win
I love how proud they are of themselves for just recycling old messages or getting new younger candidates to regurgitate Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter
Oh no! Republicans are making the Democrats sound cool again.
It's the same knee-jerk memetic shortcuts of calling everything "the devil". No thought required; no nuance; just shun the objectionable, that has been deemed, by their definition, anathema.
Yes, Mamdani is surely "violent" and "tyrannical"!! 🙄
Ironically, a form of communism is actually very normalized here in the United States. The Amish. Albeit non-Marxist they do conform to communal means. Had they not have to adhere to a capitalist system, their communes would be fundamentally identical They are also famously pacifists. Non-violent
I just love how both parties consistently call each other communists, yet your average American doesn't even blink twice at this phenomenon I need a series where someone just asks random Americans to identify what communism is and questions on American/world history. That would be cinema
Mamdany knows exactly that they will use every moment he looks serious to paint him as aggressiv or violent. That's why he smiles all day. These pictures don't work if there are so many viral photos of him with his big smile cuddling mascots, high fiving children or celebrating with the Knicks.
“thugs & terrorists”
Violent against what? Potholes? Snow?
20 years? Lol the GOP have been calling Democrats communists since FDR was in office
We know what we can call Draino. A fucking Pedophile protector.
Every. Single. Accusation. Is. A. CONFESSION.
LOL!🤣
why does the dude's pfp look like he's doing an impression of edgar
Ask the senator to prove he has no Chinese made products in his hoose! Then we'll see who's the communist.
Wow, the same old boring tactic that does not work anymore. 🙄 don’t be too mad at them, too much lead in their cereal as kids.
Zohran is one helluva charismatic guy. His so-called socialism is pragmatism in a city that's been choked by billionaire corruption. If he and millions understood this just think what we could do. bsky.app/profile/patr...
DC_Draino? Time to flush.
Generic corporate oligarch bootlicking democrat: communist Social democrat: communist Good ol McCarthyist brain syndrome.
Yeah it’s more like forty years. Gingrich is one the few souls I’d say is actually deserving of some time in a very medieval hell.
Zohran Mamdani can't be a communist anyway. He hasn't tried to meaningfully return power to the working class, all he's done is try to stop poverty. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but people really need to consider the fact he's a social democrat at best.
okay we’re communists next
Try 70 years
Sometimes I wonder what the would call actual communists if they came into power. I hope we’ll find out soon.
We'll need to stop calling the GOP capitalists, and instead call them what they have always been, the Pedophile Protection Party (PPP)
He ended bedtime during the Knicks final. What a monster.
Some rush limbaugh AM dittkhead: slick willie clintom is a gadsdamm communist!
eh they're just racist same with everyone else, the melting pot is tearing itself apart under it's own internal contradictions same as always.
Stop making me wanna join the DSA
"We have to stop calling them oranges. That's what they call themselves to hide their true intentions. They're violent, tyrannical apples."
I had a friend tell me as a kid that CNN stood for communist news network. In complete seriousness
What's next? Will they call the most milktoast center left liberal a communist before going on a rant about satanic gays like they have for the last 50 years now?
You know how the right wing guys were like "if you call me a Nazi I'm just gonna become one"?
"We have to stop screaming and crying, only unrestrained pants-pissing can save us now"
My favorite part of conservatives trying to insult Mumdani is that they only talk in generalities cause they have no real reasons or examples to dislike him 😂
Democrats want free healthcare like most nations have, Republicans want child labor, beware the communist Democrats boooooo👻😱
Also I didnt realize being a socialist is just basically doing your job. In this case, making people's lives better. That's what I always presumed being a politician was. Silly me, I suppose :P
This dude is 100% in defense of the most violent government in the western hemisphere, literally only the stupidest hogs alive would nod their heads at his statement lol
every year i’ve been old enough to know what politics is, any sort of democrat has been called that at least once. i know conservatives aren’t thinkers but how does this word not lose its meaning to them
You can only cry wolf so many times
Violence and tyrrany is when you don't go out of your way to murder as many people as possible systemically? TIL.
I was told that the Democrats don't have an identity crisis, but at the same time the elected Democrat representatives don't have the same values as their voters 🤷♂️ 😂
Words have meanings. How are they violent? How are they tyrannical?
McCarthy looking up and smiling
The Radical Left Lunatics want the taxes you already pay to cover: Universal Healthcare College Tuition Infrastructure Childcare Libraries Affordable housing Which is bad, because those kinds of Socialist programs only benefit YOU, and not the billionaires (which is bad)
Well over 20 years! Remember Joe McCarthy!
To be nerdy, they actually started with the communist accusations during the 50s... so it's been over 75 years.
I WISH they were communists 😫 but I’ll settle for socialists for now
Ah, but is he "the most Liberal man ever to run for office" yet, or is that just reserved for the democratic presidential nominee?🤔
The greatest trick the 1% has ever pulled is convincing everyone that anything that doesn't benefit the 1% is communism.
Is DC Draino the stuff they're pouring in the reflecting pool?
barack obamunist has been awful quiet,,,
your terms are acceptable
Violently terrorizing those city potholes (by filling them)
Ironic that he calls himself Draino since his god basically turned the reflecting pool into something swampy
Democrats have been called socialist and communist since at least FDR. But it was FDR who shaped the modern America that most people rely on and believe in. It's time for Democrats to run for policies that are broadly popular and stop being afraid of being called names by Republicans.
he's mad that Hasan stole his girl
Mamdani looks like he opens chips with scissors I have zero idea of what bro is so scared of lmao.
Only Nixon could go to China.. Because he wouldn't be called a pinko simp by Nixon.
the slushie was made from the blood of his enemies
And the electorate collectively yawns. Again.
Violent? :D
The flaying desperation
Literally. 😂
The Nazis called themselves socialists (at first, before they threw the socialists out, long before they murdered them all). So it's a bit weird to claim that they're hiding from their true, bad name.
Ok but hear me out... What if we took Republicans and moved them somewhere else?
Dems have shifted right since Reagan. Universal healthcare, traversable cities, a green future, and eliminating billionaires aren't just "moderate"; they are wildly popular, human-first policies. We must embrace progressives, leftists, and socialists instead of rebranding. Also, no more AIPAC!
lol is that the scariest picture they could find? guess it’s tough when the dude it genuinely always smiling
Any one of the Epstein binder chuds needs to shut the fuck up forever, he literally endorsed CSA but sure, Mamdani bad
poor herbert hoover couldn't douchebag well enough to be remembered for it. 😔
Yeah, and that fucking chud calls himself Draino, a product that unclogs gross and nasty drains. So anything that comes out of his fingers or his mouth should easily be discounted.
70 years, you mean
If only they were violent communists! ❤️
They aren’s socialists… they’re communists! *I expect gasps, but instead someone from the crowd yells “Isn’t that the same thing?”*
And what have Republicans done except bitch and moan about minorities and wring their hands over the welfare of women and the unborn while simultaneously treating them like absolute shit?
They called Biden and Harris the same. We might as well be it if they’re gonna use the same language either way.
The entire MAGAsphere flipped the “-ism" switch from “socialists” to “communists” simultaneously - as if Frank Luntz had issued some kind of FAX-fatwa to update the Reagan-era messaging to something a bit more McCarthyish. Good times. Good times.
We have only to witness all the 'violence' and 'tyranny' Mamdani has unleashed upon NYC - right? GTFOH. These conservative agitators operate on the theory that just saying something actually makes it so. And unfortunately, for the kind of people who buy into their sh*t, they're 100% right.
MacCarthayism is alive and well
They even called KAMALA a communist. The word means nothing anymore
We all know radical communist Joe Biden is behind the scenes masterminding this whole thing. With his lieutenant, arch-Palestinian Chuck Schumer.
Why is it when anyone wants to help everyone they get called a “communist?” When the billionaires help no one they’re called “hardworking & innovative!” I’m sick to death of being screamed at that I’m a Communist because I believe in helping my fellow human.
lolololol
McCarthy was nearly 100 years ago and was proven to be a hoax and we still have this bullshit red scare
Bill Clinton was also a satanic communist if I recall
30 years since the Cold War ended and theres still morons puking those old witch hunting slurs?
These people couldn’t define/explain socialism or communism if their life depended on it. They just say things.
Funny how "Socialist" was their bad word until... yesterday when Socialists started winning every position and helping their communities. Now they are "tyrannical communists" and any other hyperbolic drivel they can think of to dredge up the Red Scare. People are so easily led into stupidity.
Famous Non Communists demonised as Communists: Lena Horne Leonard Bernstein Arthur Miller Orson Welles Charlie Chaplin Zohran Mamdani Best take down: playwright/screenwriter Lillian Hellman on being blacklisted as a communist "I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions."
Wait, only 20?
He is not paedophile adjacent
The party enamored and supportive of (owned by) Putin and Russian communism casting the label "Communists" is peak irony
There is no reality in which anything Mamdani has said or done comes any where near tyrannical Communism. These Right wing influencers are sounding more ridiculous every day.
Hang on…so Republicans think socialists are good now? As long as they don’t tip over into communism. Obviously, tyrannical fascism is also acceptable to them
What is Putin? Don't MAGA love him?
the number of mass shootings inspired by the rhetoric of zohran mamdani is SKYROCKETING!!!!!!!!
As a Communist: no, they're not. Not even close. Would that they were.
They may as well wear a T-shirt that says: "I'm an idiot!" It's willful ignorance. Democratic socialism is not Communism. Or anything even *near* it. See screenshot below. These facts are what Republicans don't want people to know. 👇
they always make out our leaders like total badasses..... We dont even have a public option here. Who the fuck is a communist or even a socialist? Are they in the room with you?
rhetorical saturation
Remember this time last year when they were convinced they'd won a complete and total cultural victor and that the left was truly dead? good times...
The gloves are off. Wait. The gloves were taken off a long time ago.
so what i'm hearing is that having made socialism popular by tagging any mildly helpful policy as socialist, they're now going to do the same for communism critical support for the right wing media and democratic establishment on this one
It was the go-to insult for decades, and I heard it less and less over time, I think, because linking the term to socialized medicine had just gotten an increasing number of people say they wanted to be communist.
They always run their propaganda at 100 so now there is no way to escalate it when they're really panicked
Oh the tyranny of winning! These people are such petulant children.
J6 guy crying about violent tyranny?
"Lookit over there!... COMMIES!" Is the trump toady talking point this week. And yeah. That shit ain't new.
As opposed to the tyrant we have right now?
If they hate ‘tyrannical communists’ they shouldn’t have put one in the White House. One man with absolute unchecked power, enriching himself and those loyal to him at the expense of the populace. That’s communism. See also fascism…
