This is very true. For many years the politicians in the west have ran out of ideas and no longer really hold to these ideologies. I think this is largely due to the failure of the ideologies to solve the problems of our day and the past. Yet, the media still calls people by these names in an attempt to discredit them... I guess. I doubt it is working as well as they think it is.
Think of all the people calling Musk a Nazi. Honestly, I don't know what Musk is but the Nazi label isn't helpful. It is simply a slur. One problem is that people think in very simplistic ways. Someone could be an old school democrat or republican and still be a tyrant. Look what happened during Covid. The systems we have build as societies are the true tyranny.
Yes, Trump is pushing the edges to get done what he wants to get done but the system isn't gonna sit quietly by and do nothing. There is a war happening and these slurs like Nazi and Commie aren't helpful.
It is wild why people think Musk is terrible. Its often boils down to they don't like what he's doing. Never mind the fact that the President put him in the place and the citizens and their "representatives" have allowed the executive branch to expand its power and influence for decades. I suspect when Trumps crew leaves we will see the same sort of executive power used to swing things back in the old direction or many a worse direction.
