Democrat = Communists per the Whistles on the right

What do you guys think about the constant drip of dogma that Dems are communists per the thinking of FOX news?

Ad nausea, the constant flinging of the label- sure makes the talking heads on the right whether FOX or Newsmax -or the rest of the conservative media, has literally stopped calling democrats- democrats. You know those pesky co-legislators, and continue to reference DEMS at least >60% of the time, that the people across the aisle are literally "communists". That's seems a far stretch from observations on the left as most there, are NOT looking for any communism ideology defined as:

The fundamental difference between communism and democracy is that in a communist society, the means of production are owned and controlled by the state, whereas in a democratic society, these means are owned and controlled by private individuals.

I'm not aware that ANY democrats want to have the means of production be owned by the state. They are maybe-, and it's a stretch more socialists vs. communists defined as:

Under communism, most property and economic resources are owned and controlled by the state (rather than individual citizens); under socialism, all citizens share equally in economic resources as allocated by a democratically-elected government.

Again, no democrats that are in the mainstream are saying they think all citizens share equally in resources, but they DO think we need to provide resources to the under-priveledged when appropriate. And that part is administered by a democratically elected government.

The stretch is that R's are literally dog whistling all their base and calling D's communists and some of the moronic folks doing that have written books, etc. maligning the left as country killers by proxy . While it may make for book sales, it's just ridiculous to assert this label when in fact there is less than a handfull of socialists in the fray ala Bernie Sanders, and if you were to really look at Bernie- he owns millions of dollars in real estate too, so he's not even a good capitalist/ socialist when it comes to demonizing a group. The body politics on the right seems to REALLY be grasping at straws with the latest increase in gaslighting and rhetoric.

The worst of the aforementioned is Mark Levine, who is an old fuck-bag of wind & senile rambler on air, going off topic typically where he tries to link every conspiracy with hatred of America, Marxism, Tryany, and baby killers -to be the body of the Democrats. The guy is an unhinged bloviating shit spewing pot stirrer who is all about supporting the winning of elections, and twisting the legalize of decisions so they are favoring the name of Republicans only; despite any centrists from the R's. Who from the mouthpiece moron of the minority He is known for his unfounded strident criticisms of Democrats and encouragement of primary challenges to congressional Republicans that he considers to be "Republican In Name Only" (RINO).

RINO's are likley more mainstream Republicans, and actually try to get legislation done, vs. being busy "owning the libs" and "making a name-sake for the party"- Like Comer, Biggs, Cruz, Scalise and lets not forget total shit-bag Gymbo Jordan. The prior mentioned always saying - we got the proof, and were gonna win/ or shut them down horseshit.

I am not even sure where the shit bags like MTG and L.Bobert and that gang show up on radars, besides living off the reservation in crazy-town. But it sure seems like the R's are living on fantasy island and not really in tune with laws and how decisions of courts are made. Seriously.

What do you all say about this, besides TDS. LOL
