the only difference is that stalin hijacked the government and turned it to right wing authoritarianism from a based ruler while trump hijacked it from a mid one.

So authoritarianism. Did we ban the wrong tankies perhaps?

I look at the date this video was posted (5 days before the 2024 US presidential election), and (probably) lie to myself that the red hats are no coincidence. It gives me a smidge of amusement in these dark times. :)

The Democrats should OFFICIALLY declare the Republican Party dead, and only refer to the MAGA Party from now on. Do an actual press conference, and make an official announcement - the Republican Party no longer exists, and has been replaced by the MAGA Party. That will make the traditional Republicans absolutely crazy, and the Dems should keep it up.

Never use the word Republican ever again, refer only to the MAGA, or MAGA Nazi Party. On talk shows, interviews, sound bites, fundraising texts, etc., use the term MAGA Party exclusively. When asked about it, simply say casually and matter-of-factly "The Republican Party is dead, they are the MAGA Party from now on," and leave it at that. Make the MAGAs cry.

Nah, the Obama Era Republicans put up a fight. The Democrats now aren't even fighting for the most part.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

They're putting up a fight against the left.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago

That's true

use the term MAGA Party exclusively

I like calling them MAGAts because it just sounds right to me.
