HEY LISTEN
please note: they describe communism as they have been implemented in current communist states in this article
HEY LISTEN
not the Marxist definition of communism
HEY LISTEN
i.e. current states are The Government Controls The Means (For The People) while Marxists argue that communism is The People Control The Means (And Utilize The Government To Ensure It)
HEY LISTEN
if that makes sense
HEY LISTEN
key difference largely being the former is authoritarianistic
HEY LISTEN
just noting that because i know there's a number of marxists and leftists who argue this point every day of their lives
HEY LISTEN
anyway, Trump already said he was going to use this game play. we have record of him saying it in interviews
HEY LISTEN
welcome to Red Scare 3.0
HEY LISTEN
HEY LISTEN
(for people who aren't familiar, the first Red Scare happened after the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. the second Red Scare is the one everyone knows about in the 1950s-1980s when the Soviets were the "main antagonists")
HEY LISTEN
basically, tl;dr Trump is kneejerking older generations and people who have fled authoritarianistic communist states
HEY LISTEN
to blame the current poor performance he's experiencing on anyone other than himself
HEY LISTEN
kinda funny that he's using this tactic when Russia was the main opposition the past two times but now he's in bed with Putin
HEY LISTEN
Putin, who was formally KGB for the Soviet state and wishes to make himself a Stalin-like figure
HEY LISTEN
there is some damn dark comedy in this
HEY LISTEN
anyway, that's all from me this morning

I suspect that a major reason for leaning on "communism" as a scare term in a modern context is because to boomers specifically, it taps into the trauma inflicted on them by duck-and-cover drills and other frequent reminders they grew up with of the threat of mutual nuclear annihilation. Because of their trauma they can't respond to "communism" rationally

Trump is mentally ill with a few somethings, PLUS on a revenge tour intentionally trying to ruin this country since he's mad about 2020 and is mad he can't have the presidency a third time, so he wants to damage alliances and the government for the next person 'if I can't have it no one can' style

isolating big time, though, yeah

Flight delays continued on Sunday as a major crisis gripped one of the US’s biggest airports amid aviation safety fears.

According to the FAA, the delays are caused by a shortage of air traffic controllers. As Donald Trump’s administration continues its mass federal firings including FAA safety workers despite a slew of deadly crashes since inauguration day, transportation secretary Sean Duffy is urging more people to become air traffic controllers.
