Most likely, his beliefs that led to this have to do with the term “national socialist”.
And I still have another whole day of Visiting Family For Christmas to get through - while doing my best to not end up talking politics, because whenever I talk politics with relatives, someone calls me a Stalinist, and one of the Hungarian nationalist nutjobs on Dad’s side of the family loses it on me about '56 as soon as I agree I’m a Stalinist just to shut the McCarthyist up. (At least tomorrow I’m seeing Mum’s side, Dad’s was yesterday and part of today, politics came up but I didn’t get called a pinko or anything worse and no one started up at me about '56, thank the heavens.) Ugh, someone please shoot me.
this keeps happening to me with my family. im a lifelong trans communist. our grandma is a communist that worked in the bureaucracy of an actual communist state. they were given communist education on communism. i dont know why they fucking think i like trump (or bill clinton). theyre driving me up the fucking wall
Because the media constantly repeats that anyone who dislikes democrats, likes republicans, and people slowly bend under such pressure.
Yeah, that sounds even more infuriating than mine. At least with my family, they’re mostly typical Western shitlibs, I understand where it comes from, all their information on communism came from Red Scare propaganda and the term “national socialist” causes genuine confusion.
