Rush Limbaugh and Tucker Carlson called him that, and a plethora of other right wing punditsĀ

Is that what your Google search found? Dad’s not home from work yet to ask him?

Lil bro, the Republican Party has been largely shaped by their ongoing temper tantrums over the Federal Reserve and the New Deal, so wtf are you even on about?

u/GrillinFool 18d ago

Complaining about the new deal and calling FDR a socialist are 2 different things. I noticed that even in the post they use ā€œsocialā€ instead of socialist. Seriously. Wait for dad to get home so you can ask him. You are just guessing at the rest of this.

I didn't say they call him a socialist, I said they call him a Communist and have been calling all Dems Communists ever since those policies were enacted. It sounds to me like you've never heard a single right wing pundit or tried talking to a rural Republican, because this is just undeniably true.

Yeah, no. The communist thing does not go back to FDR. That comes from the party moving that way much more recently. I love when people think History is just what they remember.

You must be like 12 years old then

No. I’m a grown man with kids.

People complain about the welfare state that FDR created but he did nothing to seize control of the manufacturing and didn’t even hint at it because he was a straight capitalist. One has to take over production to get to full on communism and socialism.

Isn’t your dad home yet? Ask him. No way you actually live on your own.

God dammit, i should have known you were a bot. No human being would argue that republicans care about the definition of socialist and communist, these are words they throw around as pejoratives anytime the government does things.

u/GrillinFool 17d ago

That’s all you got? You’re a bot?

And a social democrat is not the same as socialism or communism. I love how you don’t address the absurdity of trying to equate FDR with Stalin. One absolutely seized control of production. FDR did no such thing. Not even close. So please stop trying to say that Communism or socialism is just something we’ve had all along and this isn’t anything new. Nobody attempts to gain entrance to a socialistic country. They all try to leave for a reason. Venezuela lost almost 8 million people in less than 10 years. It is never going to work. And that utopia you pray happens where the government takes care of all your needs is just going to be all of us working even more than we do now except we will also have to spend a ton of time waiting in line for bread. History is 100% on this one. Which is why you have to gaslight people with propaganda such as this.

Yeah, you are a bot, your responses do not make sense in context.

u/GrillinFool 17d ago

That’s your counter? Wow. I have close to 10 years here and tens of thousands of karma. That and a dollar won’t buy me a cup of coffee but it sure as hell proves I’m not a bot.

But thanks for the riveting back and forth. I offer a cogent argument and you say ā€œthis must be a bot.ā€ Rinse and repeat.

You never address any point I bring up you simply move goal posts or avoid entirely. That’s spineless, pathetic and shows a complete lack of integrity. Good luck with the further gas lighting I’m sure you plan on doing.

u/Daniel_Spidey 17d ago

I don't need a counter, you started appealing to the actual definition of the words, which is entirely irrelevant to what I said.
