11. Why? Because it works.

In '24, Trump and the RWNM started calling Harris a Communitst.

Soon thereafter, a co-worker told me Harris was a Communist. He was "joking", but it was the 1st reason he had to justify a vote for Trump.

A day later, my Dad told me Harris was a Communist. He voted for Trump for a third time.

Remember: this bullshit works on the American Voter, because collectively, they're dumb AF.
