    There was a point where the National Socialist Party was actually socialist. But Hitler and his ilk saw a party with popular momentum, joined it, co-opted it, and betrayed the socialist ideals.

    Close enough. Fetterman. Sold himself as a hard working everyman, but he's closer to Kid Rock.

    Maybe he got some brain worms from RFK. Democrat in name only (DINO).

    That term is kind of meaningless these days.

    authoritarians employ the double speak because they are liars at the root of their beliefs

    like NATO is an occupying army in the countries they have bases and not a defensive cooperative force

    ml's live in an alternate reality cult
