I totally got that but was trying to work in an allusion to the "somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan" comparison I referenced a couple of years back.

It's probably wrong to guffaw but this is like shooting fish in a barrel. Of particular note are the "TRUMP45" licence plate and how "(Round) 3" and "(202)4" are clearly pasted over "(Round) 2" and "(202)0". I hope the driver of Trump Force 1 hasn't gotten any tattoos recently.

Off topic, but reading this suddenly helped me remember a story I heard really long time ago about how Koreans in the past helped themselves fall asleep. In the west, you're told to count sheep, but in Korea, the adults often told kids to count "rats". The difference is, those rats are falling into the... traditional toilet hole. You know, those ones where you need to squat to do your number twos. So, one rat in the hole, two rats in the hole, so on and so forth.
I could be remembering things wrong, but it's been a while so...

I think Michael Tracey is right ... up to a point. Trump WAS "ill-treated" ... but he was ill-treated because he was such a complete tool. He insulted anybody & everybody, said stupid things, was excruciatingly, almost incomprehensibly narcissistic & vain. It's not unusual for someone like that to be treated as a social pariah. What is unusual is for somebody like that to be elected President.
Also ... it doesn't seem true that "most GOP voters" don't "believe specific claims of literal voter fraud". Apparently, the majority do.

Opened up Instagram and this is the first post I see in my feed:
Because social democracy is literally communism. Just like Vuvuzela.

It always weird that people can't separate communism and socialism. I mean there's some overlap, but they aren't the same thing. I don't think I'd consider Bernie a communist either, a socialist yes, but I don't think he ever talked about the government taking over the means of production...that was a Trump talking point.

Even calling a Bernie a socialist is a stretch. He’s embraced the term himself so it’s easy to make the case that he is one. But the key is that he’s stated on many occasions that he is in favor of a market economy. A market economy with more redistributive policies and a more developed welfare developed state isn't socialism, rather social democracy.

Precisely!
I mean that is the essence of the problem with Trump: it's not so much the policies carried out under Trump - which could be argued for or against - it's the pervasive atmosphere of gratuitous insults, lies, & disinformation that he put out on a daily basis. There's a point at which that just poisons the political & social fabric of the country. When Trump won the Presidency, against all expectations, he could have "pivoted" - it's what most political pundits expected. But he didn't, he became even more of a tool.

Communism. Socialism. Marxism. Wokeism. All just turned into boogeyman words to scare the right's base.
"We want to make sure children do not go hungry". Aww. "They want to incorporate socialism into our schools by making food free in school lunches so children do not go hungry". That's a terrible idea.

MTG seems to becoming more openly racist by the day. We all know if Ilhan and Rashida were not Muslim Americans she would not have used the term "Jihad Squad". And the failed "America First Caucus" that she co-authored stated "preserving Anglo-Saxon traditions" as a goal. I feel like it's only a matter of time before she goes full race-realist.
Though it is intriguing to me that she seemed to have defended Israel. I know it's the mainstream Republican position (as well as Democrat, for the most part) to be supportive of Israel, but this is someone that has dog-whistled at anti-semitic conspiracies on multiple occasions.
