Someone admitted that they were voting for Trump, I called them a fascist, and the mods removed my comment for being "uncivil". I guess I should have just beaten him to death with a baseball bat like this meme suggests and the mods wouldn't have cared.
You did do it multiple times, though. That's probably why. Once is justified; repeating it in the same thread is when it starts to become harassment.
Though the guy you called out said Trump isn't a fascist and wasn't removed, despite the fact that posting misinformation is against the rules. So that's kinda fucked up.
It is definitely a "1933-1945 Germany against Soviet Union" reference. There's also a German version: lieber tot als rot. The US/NATO version during the Cold war came later
Saying "the right is red" with that much emphasis on "is," is super misleading.
The Republican party, over the last half century, or so, have adopted the color. But very rarely is anyone refereed to as "a red". Someone might say "red vs. blue" as shorthand for Republican vs. Democrat, but that's really as far as the color thing goes. And if you go back a little further, they were switched completely; Democrats used red.
Anyway, it is the boomers' collective PTSD from the McCarthy era that cemented "red" to mean "communist". Unfortunately, the red scare never really ended.
