Oh, libs. When will you learn that the right is immune to these sorts of accusations? Nobody is swayed by this "Trump is a communist" rhetoric, the only people who agree with it are people who already hate Trump and would clap along with any comparison or accusation as long as it's negative. Trump has "Only Nixon could go to China" powers.
It's the same sort of thing as the Dems trying to attack Trump as weak on immigration and pass themselves off as border hawks. Liberals can't help but to concede this whole moral framework to the right and argue purely along technical lines of efficiency.
Of course the liberals clap along because it owns the "tankies," and in their minds, if they just punch left enough they'll convince everyone that they're "one of the good ones" on the left, as if they're not going to be labelled Stalinists anyway, like they did with Obama.
It's bad enough that it's not true, but even worse is that nobody buys it (who wasn't already "vote blue no matter who").
Cowards driving by and downvoting without addressing any arguments: where is the lie?
Is it unfathomable that someone could see something they think is wrong but doesn't think starting a long-winded Internet argument wherein neither party will in any scenario whatsoever convince the other of anything is worth their time?
I think it's representative of intellectual cowardice which is why I made my comment. It is entirely consistent with my experience when commenting on a
.world
post and calling out Liberalism's "true face".Pack it up, fellas. Not wanting to start Internet arguments is now "intellectual cowardice".
It seems you would rather have this meta argument about posting etiquette then actually address any substantive policy or historical arguments so I'm not sure you are making the point you think you are
Nah, I've said all I wanted to say have a good day
They're right, you've got nothing and you know it
