But, seems the right is trying to frighten us with a differed "red green".
Why MAGA media is obsessing with a fictional "red green alliance"
If you’ve spent any time over the past few weeks listening to former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s podcast, you’ve likely heard the term “Marxist jihadist.” MAGA influencer Benny Johnson prefers the term “jihadist communist.” Other right-wing media programs have chosen the phrase “red-green alliance” — that is, a supposed pact between communists and Islamists.
On Aug. 5, Fox News’ Will Cain provided a clear distillation of how conservative media is framing this issue as a new red scare, combined with well-worn Islamophobic tropes. “As democratic socialism gains ground in America,” Cain said, “the themes that we hear force us to ask this question: Where have I heard this before?”
“That same anti-Western rhetoric, that same anti-colonial narrative, that same anti-Israel messaging — it’s the playbook of the red-green alliance,” he said, defining it as “the partnership between the far-left and Islamist movements, despite their deep ideological differences.”ms.now - Maga islamophobia el sayed mamdani muslimCommies are, by definition, atheist. All the God things that Congress wrote into law in the 50s, were pushback against "Godless Commies". How are we to believe that overt atheists would make common cause with religious extremists, of any sort? Well, if the MAGA base is ignorant enough, and their capacity for critical thinking sufficiently atrophied, they might fall for a "Commie Muslim boogyman".
We're frelled.
