Putin is rotten to the core, but we do NOT become the next bunch of McCarthy/raving right wing anti-Red loonies! The cold war is over and done. Also, being a communist means a person is left wing. Trump is anything but - but the right wing has been trying to disavow their embarrassments by calling them commies/socialists/progressives/left wingers. You want to help them with that? This is a really dumb idea.
