How many decades have they used "communist" as a pejorative against Democrats and liberals? Now these fucking fuckers think it's okay? We are truly through the looking glass. And, so screwed.

not just communist ones. The key is the regime's power to lie brazenly in a way that signals to citizens that that it has power to define reality as it sees fit. An expert on authoritarianism made that point on Joy Reid, though I expect I don't convey it accurately.
