I have been saying this exact thing. For as long as I can remember, Republicans have fear mongered about communism. Yet when it’s here they rebrand it patriotism.
Funny how Republicans been fighting Communism for decades only to get 100% behind Trump who wants to isolate the US Economy like the Soviet Union, control Media,control Education, control the Supreme Court and build his own KGB Secret Police, ICE.
Just like in Soviet.
All hail the American Stalin

This is Senator Jim Banks from Indiana. No need to tell you he’s a Republican—it’s clear by the cruel disdain he shows his own constituent who was laid off.
Note: he waits until the door’s about to close before telling him he deserved it & calling him a “clown.”
He’s not just cruel—he’s a coward.
