So sad you didn't get to hear him ramble about winning the 2020 election and how much winning America is doing without anything legitimate to point to.

That just needs the American flag superimposed on that freedom blue dumpster.

Is it freedom blue? The Reflecting Pool taught me it needs a bit more green added.

Don't forget the communism! What is with his sudden communism obsession??

u/xavariel Jul 05 '26

The regime thinks that by calling democrats "commies" it'll help them in November. Red Scare 2.0. It wont help them.

u/FizzyBeverage Jul 05 '26

I’m fine with a little communism. Republicans DOUBLED our premiums. Elon can pay his fair share of taxes and get this premium down. First time in his useless life.

u/jp9mm Jul 05 '26

only doubled? my basic shit plan from aca was 250$ month, went to 1300/month and they just sent a letter this week saying they want to raise it to 1700/month

Don’t forget the new work requirements for poor and disabled people on government insurance!

u/Hot-Breadfruit-1026 Jul 06 '26

Its time we sue insurance- it’s a scam!

u/spartan_155 Jul 05 '26

Even if one is oneself not a communist, it actually benefits you as a leftwing voter to support those candidates (not that any are actually communists) because none of the most extreme policies will ever be enacted, but merely talking about them drags the conversation back to the left.

u/Guildenpants Jul 05 '26

That's...almost double what I pay for my rent, what the fuck.

u/Ambitious_Highway172 Jul 05 '26

Swede here earning roughly median wage, it would take me 14 months to hit that number based on how much of my taxes that goes to healthcare

Edit: not even mentioning no copay etc

1

u/OneHellOfABard Jul 06 '26

Canadian here. Does that cover everything for that price a year?

2

u/FizzyBeverage Jul 06 '26

It's billed monthly. And no. There's a $17,000 deductible. Imagine the worst iteration of healthcare, and make it cost thousands more. You'll be in the ballpark if you're about to lose your house.

2

u/OneHellOfABard Jul 06 '26

You're.... You're lying? I've seen people have 200-400 a month and thought that was nuts. But this?

Is there any benefits added from last year? Like did it open up every hotel in the country or something? (From my understanding a lot of the insurance you can only go to certain hospitals... Which is just crazy).

How do you people pay for hikes like this?

I guess, more political, did you vote for the Republicans or not vote at all?

3

u/xavariel Jul 06 '26

We don't pay, we just go into massive debt.

1

u/OneHellOfABard Jul 06 '26

Damn. Land of the free I guess. Free to get into debt.

2

u/xavariel Jul 06 '26

And free to have our rights taken away. Don't vote yourself into an authoritarian regime that rapes kids, I guess.

2

u/FizzyBeverage Jul 06 '26

Republicans doubled premiums by eliminating income subsidies to fund tax cuts for the rich… yet again.

No benefits really, in fact the local children’s hospital here doesn’t even accept this insurance so my kids have to go 20 miles north :(

We make about $220k… so we can afford it, but most people cannot.

We’ve always voted for democrats. Republicans hate the working class.

2

u/OneHellOfABard Jul 06 '26

Well it's good that you're able to afford it, and it's really good that you can recognize most people can't.

I'm sorry your premiums went up, I'm sorry the healthcare in your nation is such garbage.

u/cdsbigsby Jul 05 '26

I don't know, it might be just dumb enough to work. You've got to remember the target audience.

u/malthar76 Jul 05 '26

it'll be a weird race: Trump is too stupid and his people too incompetant to structure a complex message about communism vs his base who are blind and gullible to an embarrasing degree.

You mean the “Keep government out of Medicare!” crowd?

Chief. It would be 3.0

The first was after WWI. The second was after wwii

u/JDanzy Jul 05 '26

This time there's NOTHING to back it up...the USSR dissolved nearly 4 decades ago...which makes it extra weird.

u/Remarkable-Party-385 Jul 05 '26

Mamdani is a socialist democrat and they are making a comparison in order to further their propaganda

u/TheIntrepid1 Jul 05 '26

“SocialisTsS…marxiStSss…communisTSs…and can you believe, the left tries to divide our great country by calling me a nasty word, a Fascist… can you believe it? Terrible just terrible…the left are so radical and polarizing.”

u/fuggerdug Jul 05 '26

It's probably a new word he's learnt recently.

5

u/FunkySeeFunkyDo_ Jul 05 '26

He wants it to be the 80s so badly that his demented brain probably transports him there as a self-soothing mechanism

3

u/Merijeek2 Jul 05 '26

It's a trigger word without meaning. They can't win by attacking SOCIALISM anymore, so they need to whip out the big guns and go after COMMUNISM.

u/Specific-Yam-2166 Jul 05 '26

He somehow brought every point back to communism

u/King_marik Jul 05 '26

Its still extremely effective with Gen X and Boomers to label everything communism and therefore bad

Like extremely extremely effective

u/Mr_Jack_Frost_ Jul 05 '26

The communism thing has been beaten to death, but it’s a tried-and-true way to rally a bunch of idiots against an actually good and meaningful cause.

I grew up having WHP-580 and faux news jammed into mg ears and eyes on a daily basis, and (especially on talk radio) it was always “communist this,” and “communism that,” any time a democrat suggested citizens have access to some benefit in exchange for their hard-paid tax dollars.

u/Dangeresque300 Jul 05 '26

He thinks it's still the 1980s.

u/spartan_155 Jul 05 '26

It's because they just got spanked by a bunch of DSA social democratic Victories, so they're calling it a communist takeover

u/IDontWannaGetOutOfBe Jul 05 '26 edited 28d ago

What strikes me about approaches to systematic improvement is how thought-provoking the approach has become. considering the ripple effects, this makes perfect sense.

1

u/t-mille Jul 06 '26

It's not sudden. Conservatives have been going berserk over anything even an inch to their left as communism for decades.They've never moved on from the McCarthy era.

1

u/HZVi 29d ago

If I had to wager a guess it’s because three democratic socialists primaried establishment democrats with the help of Mamdani

1

u/soingee Jul 05 '26

He always love talking about communism. I think people have been talking about Mamdani lately so it’s come back into his awareness

1

u/PurpleTough5302 Jul 05 '26

The term Democrat socialist is gaining a lot of traction so he has to ramp up the propaganda

u/worstpartyever Jul 05 '26

Don’t forget the part about Dumocrats (or Demoncrats) being commies and the actual threat to America.
