    Not a current event exactly. It bears relevance however to the customary way many of us engage about them.

    Agreed. We also widely misuse the terms socialist, communist, traitor, inciting a riot, sedition.......

    And, we throw around terms when applying to the other side meant to be negative--cabal, fellow travelers...

    As I have said before, it is comical how the right can take an abstract concept and turn it into a bumper sticker cliché, "freedom" is the one that always cracks me up, it's against my "freedom," closing down the Golden Coral Buffet violates my "freedom"

    So the Washington Compost has articles about JPP now?

    'Nazi" referred to a specific political party in Germany that was destroyed in WW2. It was based on socialism and fascism.
    Fascism is government manipulation of markets. It is a form of socialism. It is not a political party or a form of government. It is an economic system, based on theft of wealth.

    It is what the Democrats want.

    Nope. It simply reduces your choices. Go find somewhere else to eat.

    You DO do that a lot, don't you? Maybe you should address this problem of yours.

    It's obviously because Trumptards are too stupid to look Big Words like Fascist and Nazi up in the dictionary!

    I don't know why "fascism" is supposed to be a BIG WORD. Anyone who graduated from high school should have studied this.

    I don't think so. Right wingers seem to have nothing going on but that. Where is y'all's infrastructure position? What happened to healthcare reform Your guy said he had?
