 They used that word constantly during Obama's Presidency, right alongside "Nazi," and "Fascist." So much so, that the word has become meaningless, if they knew what "communism" meant in the first place.

Doesn't this term mean anything anymore?  What about calling Republicans terrorists or insurrectionists or Nazis or racists or KKK or white supremacists?

Here's the thing. Conservatives all expect everyone to be clones. Remember the episode of the Simpsons where Bart throws his red hat in the laundry and turns Homer's work shirt pink? Everyone else at the plant was a clone wearing white shirts and Homer was the only one who stood out. The result? He ended up in a mental hospital. This is the GOP. The worst thing in world according to them is someone saying  "yeah, but..." or even someone asking any questions at all. Think about it, these are the people who think prayer can change someone sexual orientation and the number of suicides among those who have actually tried this method doesn't mean anything. These are the people who think Obama, Pelosi, and Clinton are actual Al Qaeda terrorists who (according to Qanon, who the GOP love) drink the blood of the kids they rape in the name of Satan but the proud boys are a shining example of the type of discrimination and hatred that only white people have to put up with. It's disgusting. They post extremely racist and hateful crap on social media them whine and cry about racism against whites and anti-conservative nonsense when they get banned. They say they believe in private enterprise and a free market but then when they get banned from using the services of private companies for violating their terms of service they claim it's somehow illegal because of the 1st amendment. They're the group who claim to be antiabortion, yet the religious right are one of the major causes of higher. abortion rater. They refuse to teach their kids about sex and even entertain the idea of safe sex. When their kids end up pregnant their entire culture is so harsh and exclusionary that abortion actually starts to look good to them. FBI data compiled by the RAND corporation proves that in the past 30 years right wing terrorists have killed 18x more people than left wing terrorists have. Yet, liberals are all terrorists even though the capitol rioters were doing what they did admittedly in the name of Trump. There's been a number of studies that have roundly proven that people who watch no news at all are more informed than Fox News viewers. It's true.

Those on the far right LOVE to find a few trigger words that they use to scare their base, who are notoriously ill-informed. They see a tweet or hear a few lines from their "news" outlets, and they look no further, they buy in, all in, no matter how far from reality it is. 

Mitt and Bain Capital????

Did you know the famous Robber Barons helped finance the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia? So I'm sure you  must wonder Why?

Simple. The Corrupt recognize the POWER of Money. They also know all who have money have at least some power. Therefore they HATE the concept of money and the middle class. If Money is eliminated and they put themselves in charge of every aspect of your life then they have POWER you can never resist.

Hopefully their end goals will never be realized, but the ignorant who love handouts are suckers that support their abuses of Power.

It means more than "racist". Leftists have ruined its meaning. 

I've seen this a lot (and mentioned it here a lot).  There are MANY words Repubs use simply to mean 'I disagree with this person'.  'Communist', 'socialist', 'marxist', 'fascist', and of course 'liberal' and their new favorite, 'leftist'.

Whenever I hear someone call someone this, I asked them 'What does that word mean, exactly?'  They never have a good answer.

They also use it the other way-- 'Liberals created the Federal Reserve.'  'Socialists caused the Texas Freeze.'  'Communists ran up the national debt.' etc.

Just one more example that most conservatives in this country have no idea what communism actually is.  Mouthing a scary word is enough to get them schitting their pants, going off the deep end, and seeking the shelter of Trump's lies..  

Newsmax, AON, National Review, etc. are all the far right whiplash to having the truth be against you all of the time. “Don’t like or accept reality? Create an alternative reality. Then live there.”

Romney belongs to a cult called Mormonism. Just read up on its history. Joseph Smith was a charlatan.
