The “growing” aspect of Democratic Socialists and “commies” for that matter is a scare tactic that Trump created. He’s scared shiitless that there will be a blue wave in the mid terms, so he’s trying to rile his base and pick up some of the break away independents. Smart people see through his crap.
As far as the “GOP” today…Trump fucked the party for the foreseeable future. I won’t vote for anyone who kowtowed to him or those who worked in his cabinet. There are many reasons why the vast majority of those who worked in his cabinet his first term wouldn’t touch his scummy ass with a ten foot pole.
