Carbonation causes sucrose to break into glucose and fructose, so why even bother with cane sugar? Might as well use the high fructose corn syrup and start with what you're gonna end up with

Right. They think socialism is only authoritarian 20th Century state socialism, which it isn't, but they do have a lot in common with that form (socialism iself aside)

Yeah, tho I was saying call them those things to equate what they're doing with what they hate ab the Soviets and Stalin, not that they're socialists. Again, to knock over their sandcastle.

They should never do that & they suck at all offense in politics. This isn't coming at them from the right, it's just coming at them & knocking their sandcastle down.

Recall the context of the thread- Trump implying central econ control.
And I disagree
You can also call tariffs anti-free market. Also, call GOP a threat to the republic, instead of a threat to democracy. Define them & frame things linguistically in ways their ppl will react to

It's a political tactic to define your opposition.
And no, you don't call them socialists so as not to vilify socialism.
The Dems don't know how to play the game & think getting out the vote is all they need to defeat fascists.
I may not be communicating it well, but no reason to be a dick.

You say fascist, they roll their eyes. You show how Soviet / Stalinist they seem, that follower is given pause and will begin to bend.

Figuratively. I didn't say call them commies.
Trump is talking ab setting prices. Govt intervention in business is suddenly ok. Fine, then we use terminology that says they are what they hate. They're corrupt & authoritarian, just like Stalin and the Soviets.

The Dems need to stop campaigning to convince themselves
Use the right verbal framing & define the Trumpists as what they hate, and keep pushing it.
They're not 'socialists', they're Soviet-style and Stalinist

True, but it's been weakened; Using it on GHW Bush and the like diluted it & they got used to it. Tactically it's bad
Stalin & Soviet is also accurate - price controls & govt force on business are prolly the tools they'll have to bring out to 'salvage' the econ policy. Make them the 'dirty commies'

GOP opponents really need to be throwing around "Stalinist' and "Soviet". The Hitler and fascist thing, was overused long ago, and even tho it's appropriate, it's ineffective now.
