Donald Trump is now promoting a new tactic, attacking “Communism”, which to him is being critical of progressives, liberals, and “democratic socialists”, who have won some Congressional seats for the upcoming 120th Congress (2027-2029).
Trump, meanwhile, consorts with “true” Communists, such as Vladimir Putin of Russia, Xi Jinping of China, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea, idealizing their totalitarian bent, and working to model himself after their strategy and tactics.
Trump is preparing to use the old, worn out tactic of promoting a “Red Scare”, as was conducted by Woodrow Wilson Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer from 1919-1921 after World War I, and by Wisconsin Republican Senator Joseph McCarthy, and a whole slew of Republicans and Southern Democrats in Congress from 1950-1954, including Richard Nixon.
These attacks on the Left were designed to scare people into promoting violations of the Bill of Rights, and to promote white supremacist Christianity, by utilizing ignorance and fear of “Communism”, to promote a right wing abuse and violation of the Bill of Rights.
So Trump is using the tactics that his close associate Roy Cohn utilized first with Joseph McCarthy, and now, three quarters of a century later, and nearly fifty years after Roy Cohn’s death, again his ghost is being revived.
