...shitting on what they mean.

Frankly, we should turn the tables on them across the board. Reclaim all the star-spangled words and symbols, and equate them with the Soviets. They freely call us communists and related things, so turnabout is fair play. Use their own trigger words against them.

After all, what was "the Red Menace"? That a bunch of radicals would upend our way of life, tear us down to remake us according to their own vision of "the way things ought to be", subvert our freedoms, and take away everything we worked our lives to build.

It used to be communists waving red flags. Now it's Trumpniks wearing red hats.

In Washington on the 14th, it won't be a military parade, it'll be a Soviet parade. That's what it's modeled after, so call a spade a spade.
