Flailing Trump Pulls EMERGENCY MOVE as Midterms LOOK GRIM - Meidas Touch



Trump and other MAGA Republicans and even some democrats are calling democratic socialists, like AOC and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani "communists." But that simply isn't true. There is a lot of confusion over who and what is an actual socialist, communist, fascist and then a democratic socialist. The terms can be confusing; but it's very important that we understand what they mean-as we are fighting to restore our own democracy- which happens to be under a fascist attack.

Suri Crowe breaks the terms down with the help of a very well known and popular American historian, Heather Cox Richardson. America is at a precipice- do we or don’t we decide to remain a government run “for the people and by the people?” - 07/01/2026.

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

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

And here is the party officials' response to these attacks.
