President Donald Trump on Friday seized on the electoral success of several democratic socialist candidates to ramp up his attacks on the Democratic Party, claiming it was being taken over by “godless Communists” who pose an existential threat to the nation.
The heated rhetoric marked the latest bid by Trump to portray Democrats as political extremists ahead of November’s midterms — even though portrayals of even the party’s most liberal candidates as “communists” are far from reality.
“These are hard core, godless Communists,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post earlier on Friday, an accusation he repeated during remarks to a gathering of social conservatives. “This is the Greatest Threat to our Country since its Founding 250 years ago!”
Is this the same “god” that demands rich people give all their wealth the poor and needy, and that their followers do everything in their power to provide for the needs and well-being of others?
I think you’re confused it’s the god that wants poor people to give everything they have to the rich people.
I forgot. They worship Ayn Rand and Supply-Side Jesus, don’t they?
I think these days Ayn Rand is too far left and Jesus is a useless hippie long hair communist.
We’re finally starting to get the left we deserve instead of the one pulled center by an opposition giving cover to rapists, pedophiles, spousal abusers and murderers.
In a country where a huge amount of people thought Biden was a communist a party like that might go over like a lead balloon.
Not if they successfully rebrand communism. People that are triggered by that word don’t have any clue it’s definition
They’ve been poisoning that well longer than America has been around.
Well, fuck. I can’t argue that. Still, though, I applaud those still putting up a fight
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah but now Americans are actually directly being affected by the fascist idiots that ripped the mask off early.
At this point a decent number of them are starting to wonder if the opposite side won’t be as bad. And that’s all that’s necessary to start righting the ship, if people are actually willing to step up and not just let the same octogenarian power brokers keep running everything.
We went from Trump being elected a second time, to a dozen Democratic Socialists being elected and districts flipping 30+ points in just 2 years.
Eventually people start to wonder why the rain is yellow and tastes like piss.
The right has always called anything that went against their agenda communism. The word is meaningless by their context. We can’t change how they distort the truth. It’s their only game plan. We can only show them that what we’re doing helps the most people regardless of how they mischaracterize it. People are sick of platitudes they want to see results.
“Godless” says the unrepentant walking embodiment of all seven deadly sins.
Man I wish Democrats were as cool as Trump makes them sound
I wish democrats were actually godless communist.
Guy who rapes and bombs kids calls someone godless.
Average American Christian tbh
Sounds a lot better to me than ‘christian capitalists’ .
Christian capitalists? You mean the people who worship the antichrist pedo-fuhrer, who is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins?
That fucking golem is like something out of the Book of Revelation
I just wish the voters thought so too. Godless should be a compliment.
They can’t just call anyone they don’t like a communist
The GOP has been doing that since the 50s and it has worked. Why should they stop now.
They sure can, and sadly the red scare made it so just uttering the word “communist” acts like a sleeper agent wake word
The US has been doing that longer than you’ve been alive.
“godless” isn’t a negative in every person’s eyes.
Any god that favors Trump, is a shitty one that only deserves rejection.
Let’s see he’s got Nurgle, Tzeentch, khorne, slaanesh. So yeah
Mostly Nurgle and Slannesh. Those fucking Mar-A-Lago faces and hollow Ozempic eyes are Druchii as fuck.
Well, I happen to like the godless communist ones. I’m cool with the godded communists, too, tbh.
Honestly even at face value a “godless communist” sounds pretty great right now.
I acknowledge that communism is not without its problems, but the US can afford to head in that direction for a few years.
Jesus fucking christ, talk about a throwback. Now they are doing 1950’s style Red Scare bullshit?
The Don’s worldview never advanced past the 50s it seems
It still works, so yes.
Its a distraction from Epstein and people screaming at him that he’s a pedophile.
Sideshow, or rather symptom of the wider problem of wealth disparity, a pay to play legal and political system, and the Victorian class system returning as Thomas Picketty predicted.
Republicans are dumb. Of course it works. Ask the average Republican to define communist
What is old will become new again.
What was shall be; what is shall be no more…
And there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base that has an attachment. At this time, a friend shall lose his friend’s hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o’clock.
I remember he said that was peak America. So not shocked.
I live in a country that was occupied by the Soviet Russia, yet people here don’t talk as much about communists as Americans. This obsession is fascinating.
“They will close your churches in this country. They go communist, and they’re trying to. They will kill your people, and that’s what they’re about. They want to end religion,” he said.
Nothing scares Americans like the threat of the godless, freedom hating communists coming to burn down your church and kill your family. It’s effective. They wouldn’t keep doing it if it didn’t work.
AFAICT, it’s the xtians that are closing down churches, due to lack of interest.
The nones are ~30%. Adherents to xtianity are way down. It’s simple numbers not really any Grand Liberal Conspiracy, FFS.
Funny thing is Kegsbreath just cut the official list of religions for the military from like 200 down to 19 or something. Sounds like they’re the ones who want to shut down churches.
We can’t all be as godly as a 4 time divorced, cheating, criminal child rapist 😢
Remember that time he called mamdani and evil communist terrorist Muslim jihadist and the worst thing that can happen to New York. Then he won, met Trump and then Trump said he’ll be great for New York and is a nice guy.
Almost like the guy has no actual morals or ideals or anything really. And is in fact just evil himself.
