Communist
Marxist
Fascist
Woke
Corrupt
Tyranny
The Left
Radical left thugs
Third World Dictatorship

patriot
What Trump cannot do is to engage in a serious debate over issues, giving his opponent a legitimate right to disagree and present an alternative view that is worth consideration. Trump disagrees with anyone who disagrees with him- as though he were the fountain of all wisdom and knowledge.
Can Trump provide substantiating evidence for these charges he makes against those he dislikes? Or does he just make up accusations and hurl them out, hoping something will stick, and, even if it doesn’t, that his fawning acolytes will just accept those charges? It’s hard to believe that a mature adult could ever act this way – but he does, together with his fawning omrades. So, on what does he base these charges?:
Corrupt Joe Biden (based on what evidence?)
Biden is the single biggest crook ever in the White House (based on whose determination?)
Biden’s disastrous policies (like what?)
Biden is ruining America (How so?)
Haley is a RINO (Not according to the Republicans who have preceded her)
E. Jean Caroll is a liar (despite the corroboration of many others in whom she confided)
Democrats want to destroy America (Now, why would they want to do that?)
McConnell (Senate leader) is corrupt (Wrongheaded maybe, but what’s the evidence for corruption?)
(Hillary) Clinton is Corrupt (What’s the evidence – and what would motivate her to be corrupt?)
Aam Schiff (Congressman) is corrupt (What? And risk exposure when running for Senate?)
D.A. Letitia James is corrupt (Why? For doing her job?)
Justice Arthur F. Engoran (NY Supreme Court) is corrupt (But, why would he risk it, at his age?)

After listening to Chris Hayes on MSNBC a few nights ago, I guess I understand. He quoted a woman who participated in a Focus Group who said when asked about policy on abortion:
“Based on who they are, I guess Democrats are opposed to abortion and Republicans are for it”. Remember when Jay Leno interviewed people on the street who were mixed up about such things as the Civil War, World War II and the American Revolution – as well as the various Presidents? That just reveals that some people are completely ignorant of American history and the political positions of candidates and parties. They don’t listen to news or read newspapers – or even books other than trash fiction. What percentage of the American adult population is functionally illiterate? I’m afraid to find out.
