Why seem Americans to call everybody Marxist they don't like?

I don't want to troll, I am really interested in an answer.

A Red Scare is a form of moral panic provoked by fear of the rise of left-wing ideologies in a society, especially communism and socialism. Historically, red scares have led to mass political persecution, scapegoating, and the ousting of those in government positions who have had connections with left-wing movements.

It's just a boogeyman word to make them sound scary. Laura Loomer literally does not know what marxist means beyond "communism". In fact, she doesn't even know what communism is, she has just been told it's bad.

I mean... It's Laura Loomer. She's like bottom of the barrel QAnon nazi.

To be honest, it's the first time I read about her. I didn't know her before.

She was briefly on Trump's plane. Around the debate with Harris. It's likely he took the "eating the pets" line from her, since that was a rumor spread in nazi circles, particularly on Gab.

It's also possible they had an affair during that time. MTG got really angry with Loomer and they started trashing each other on Twitter for all to see. It was glorious.

ah! I did not know it was her.

Thanks for the pointer!

Only the fascist Americans do that.

They're trying to scare the moronic hillbillies into thinking Marxism is bad.

Ok, thanks.
