Used to string together John Bircher faux PHD in political sciences gibberish like this warning the Media and society against the evils on not wholeheartedly supporting White Corporate Christian Elites.
Every organization or person who couldn't make the Country Club membership was part of a Refrigerator Madlib Magnet label list of "Marxist -this thing Syndicalist" or "Radical- multi-dash adjectives forms of those types +Communists".
If it hadn't been taken so seriously by access media, it would have been laughed out of relevance.

...that's exactly what it is. Just rearrange the words and you get a new enemy. The old slogans like "DEI" and "woke" have lost their vigor, so we're on to "radical narco-communism" as the latest shibboleth from the shambolic Trump regime.

This is a direct result of the cult-like mentality of the US Senate. They seem more interested in supporting Trump than doing what is right for the country. It is not that difficult to judge someone based on their past and that is their job. That is the confirmation process.
