President Trump ripped Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as “seriously retarded” – and suggested Rep. Ilhan Omar “probably came into the USA illegally” –  in a rage-filled Thanksgiving message about immigration.

    The line is very blurry, but in this context I’m talking about how they’re used, they can be used to back any idea if they think it’s good for the country and “patriotic.” Although all that said, giving up the flag really burned the left and sacrificed a lot of power. Nationalism is a political tool and has been used as a tool for a long time.

    My comment is entirely addressing political capital and how power is used to get outcomes.

      If you refer to what they understand, you can’t use any word. If they don’t like something, it’s socialism. If they hate it, it’s communism. It’s woke, it’s liberal, it’s whatever the hell word they can remember from being indoctrinated You can’t lower yourself to their level and still be understandable by normal human beings.
