Fox News Says Government Advising Good Thermostat Temperatures Is Akin to Communism (crooksandliars.com)

Fox News and the entire GOP is so terrified of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's success that they are mocking him for asking New Yorkers to be careful with their thermostats during an extreme heat wave. This is the same advice Trump's Energy Department has suggested as well.

Not only do they look foolish, but they appear desperate in their efforts to smear and ridicule a popular political rival.

This morning on Fox and Friends, the three co-hosts were beside themselves that the mayor of New York City would ask residents to turn the thermostat higher to conserve energy so that there aren't any blackouts during this massive heat wave.

Is everything sensible or socially conscious Communism now? Taking public transit, being more physically active, telling my family that I love them... all communism?

No, this is way off base.

Everything sensible or socially conscious has been Communism since the 1930s. Shoutout to Behind the Bastards, who coincidentally aired a couple of episodes about this very subject this week (Elizabeth Dilling episodes).

Maybe, I thought it was woke, but that’s so 2025

Not quit. It's more like: "Anything someone they don't like says" is "something they think sounds bad". Mamdani said to conserve power, that's communism. AOC said she likes pineapple on pizza, she's basically Voldemort.

I mean, pineapple on pizza is a war crime, I can’t disagree

Leave Your parents basement, eat something other than nuggets, develop a pallet, then come back to me.

problem being communism is a made up fantasy world so yeah anything can fit, up to the preferences of the larper

so why not seize the means of production and mandated thermostat temperature (which was common in commie buildings)

Where did Mamdani mandate this?

Oh I see, you're lying.
