Out of curiosity where did the confusion come from? In what world would a bunch of principled communists support any US president, much less a grotesque capitalist one?

People might not recognize things like the trump-yassified emoji as ironic

rumors about hexbear get no pushback on hexbear-defederated instances, so they just spread

I also think part of it is "they must be conservative because only conservatives criticize liberals"

tbf one of the things I loved most when I became communist is that I could make fun of liberals too

You asked in good faith and we love posting. It can be a bit difficult to figure out which questions will get honest, impassioned responses and which will get a flurry of ppb.
