People on the right don't know the difference between Democrats, Socialists, and Communists.

They are all intended as slurs, but you can bet TSF has no idea what any of these words actually mean.

And they don't know what Fascism is either, so if you try to discuss it, good luck.

1. If only people who represent the Democratic party as elected officials would SAY THIS over and over until

the air brained republican voters would actually start to question what they know.

2. He called Kamala Harris a Marxist and a socialist lunatic.

He just called the NY mayoral candidate a communist.

People pretty much ignore him.

3. They've been conflating the terms on RW hate radio and TV for decades...

For MAGAts they are more or less interchangeable.

4. Heather Cox Richardson has a lesson

She is today's guest on the podcast "We Can Do Hard Things" (hosted by Glenon Doyle, Abby Wambach), although heaven forfend I could find a direct link independent of a particular podcast platform.

Anyway - she goes into how the concepts of democracy, socialism, and communism got swapped around - not just these last few years, but following the Civil War. I learned more from this hour than I have from anything else I can think of recently.

While you're there, take eight minutes to be inspired by Glennon Doyle's message "Don't Tread On Me." It's just what I needed to hear today.
