9. Republicans throw around terms like Marxism and socialism but understand neither.

Either that, or they know the meaning but also know that most of their voters don’t and will just react to the idea that they mean bad things for them.

I wish some Democratic figure, or even a nonpartisan one, would start combatting these claims by Republicans directly. The country needs a lesson on the real meaning of socialism, Marxism, communism, oligarchy, and all the other isms Republicans use to portray Democrats as trying to turn away from democracy. I’m not even sure that most Americans understand what democracy is. Far too many of the MAGA cultists have decided it means they get to ignore laws they don’t like, prevent black people from peacefully protesting, be hateful to people they don’t like (all non-white people, anyone speaking a language other than English) and call police on them probably hoping the police will hurt or kill them, and claim special rights that only they have because their ancestors came here from mostly white countries in Europe. I can’t seem to find anywhere in the Constitution where it says that the descendants of white European immigrants would be more equal than anyone else and have special privileges not enjoyed by other citizens.

We have to find some way to fight the lies, the ignorance, and the conspiracies in this country, or we may not have a country left that most of us would want to live in.
