I'm seeing a lot of people saying "conservatives are stupid, they don't know what communists are."

No, I know it makes you feel good about yourself to think your opposition is stupid, but don't be fooled; they know what communists are. This is _intentional_ propaganda.
The conservative grifters are trying to convince their base that the democrats are the enemy. That is their goal. They do not care, at all, in any way, shape, or form, who is going up against them. They are going to call any opposition "radical communists"
They are going to tell their base that their opposition is radical because the goal--their goal--is to instill fear of the outside in their audience. This is why they use fascist rhetoric, this is why they complain about immigration. It's all about intentionally othering.
You mock them and you don't get it: they know. They don't care what words mean. They are trying to other their opposition because that's how they rile up support. They prey on fear.
They did this with Fauci too. I was talking to my dad about covid and he starts going "oh y ou just LOVE fauci, you liberals" (in his mind there are only liberals and conservatives and he hasn't figured out leftism) "just LOVE fauci SO MUCH" & that's what Kirk/Shapiro are saying.
The whole playbook of the right is to say "leftists/liberals LOVE this" because their fanbase will then go "OH. So I will oppose that! I won't support that shit!"

That is why they are saying Harris and Biden are radical leftists. Not because they believe it.
I know it feels good to think people you don't like are stupid. I know it's fun to dunk on them. Please take them seriously, okay? Don't do the Hillary thing. Take them seriously. They are a threat, and they WILL fuck you up if you act like this isn't serious.
Direct your attention towards making being a communist/leftist/whatever you believe in _DESIRABLE_ but you can't debate a conservative--they aren't here to be honest, they don't care what words mean.
