(21,432 posts)RWers have been promoting for decades, that Democrats are socialists or communists (they don't distinguish between the two). They believe that "political correctness" is an infringement on basic American liberties. During the Bush years, RWers were promoting the idea that Nazis were socialists so all left leaning people are Nazis. I encountered many people online and some in person who bought into that notion. They fear the term, but have no clue what it is.
So if Biden wins, they fear that Nazi leftists will turn the country communist. They think that removing religious symbols from government places is an infringement on religious freedom.
A liberal, left government is a nightmare for them. The irony is that they cannot see that Trump's racist policies and comments are right out of a fascist (Nazi) playbook. So they believe that Trump is their hero who saves them from Nazi communism.
They are seriously deficient in knowledge of civics and history.
