“One of the first to warn years ago of Kristol’s treachery was Patrick J. Buchanan.”

I can recall early in the Trump campaign saying how long before he gets “jew’d” meaning they have to paint him as some kind of racist or anti-Semite.
However this election cycle being painted a “Globalist” or a “Cuck” is far more damaging than being painted a racist or Xenophobe. The terms have simply become meaningless. I see young people on twitter, just mocking the left by referring to themselves as being “Fashy” i.e. Fascist. The label is losing it’s meaning.
Trotsky was the first given credit for using “racist” as a way of shaming your opponent. I don’t mean racism never existed, I’m talking about as a political tactic. And Irving Kristol spoke highly of Trotsky.
Well ol’ Paddy didn’t help himself very much when he produced a history tome painting Hitler in a sympathetic light as a victim of Churchill and FDR’ s tag team.
