Trump's bashing Dems as 'Godless communists.' Does America care?

[Dulcinea]

(USA Today) WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump had a warning. The nation is imperiled, he told a group of religious conservatives, by a force bent on destroying "the traditional American way of life."

"These are hardcore, godless communists," Trump said at the Faith & Freedom Coalition conference last month, adding: "This is the most serious threat to our country since its existence."

It was a speech that echoed the anti-communist zeal from the mid-20th century, delivered by a president who has struggled with a midterm message. Increasingly, he seems to be finding it, telling another crowd in North Dakota July 1 that communism in America is a bigger crisis than World War I, World War II or the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

1. i am not a communist

but this is the crime he will use for our execution.

not even a crime, not yet in america, but enough to mobilize a team of night riders.

2. We as a party need to shove this right back into his fat ugly face 24/7

What is “godly” about trafficking and failing children? And also eating and killing them? And then creating a coordinated effort to cover it all up?

[Omnipresent]

3. It must be a great ego boost for trump when...

He gets a crowd (albeit small) to listen to his BS. This makes him feel like less of an idiot in their company.
How these supposed christians can look past his deeply flawed, unrepentantly bad behavior, is beyond me.

4. A bigger crisis for who?

For the fascists who want to own everything.

5. No it doesn't. At least not any more than it would if they were actually communists.

6. That particular audience does care

They seek an authoritarian theocracy; when he says crap like that they believe he is on their side to deliver it to them.

7. What will be the Democratic "catchphrase or moniker" used to describe ReThuglicans?

I would offer “anti-American.”

8. America cares about $4+ gas and keeping a roof over their heads.

not words that are meaningless to the generations after mine, and have little relevance anymore even for mine.

9. I am godless.

I guess I could be hardcore, but I am not a communist. I love America, I do not think I am a threat to anything. I think the orange clown is godless too, just using religion to grow his power. There is nothing he won't use to help himself.

10. Magats have no connection between words and meaning or fact. Words are weapons.

Used for effect. That's why meaning often flips.

The attack words are all manure, just of a different color.

Welfare Mother, soft on crime, war in drugs. All of those were dogwhistles for racism.

Many are pure projection. "Every accusation is a confession"

And the party is STANDING UP TO THEM!



After lunch, of course.
