I thought New York Times was bad!
And before you tell me it's just an OpEd... sorry, but can YOU write anything you wanmt in there? Someone reads these and approves.
If you don't want to read the thread, I will summarize for you:
This is one of the dumbest things I have ever read in a major publication. We are turning into an Idiocracy. Up to eight million people died during the socialist-induced famine of 1932–33 alone. But yes, WaPo columnist, Trump is just like Stalin because 7 percent of the government work force has been temporarily furloughed. Around 10 millions people were sent to Gulags under Soviet rule -- many of them for political crimes. So yes, just like the firing of James Comey! In the Soviet Union every story and report was written by the state-controlled media. Those who brought in non-sanctioned news faced the prospects of prison or worse. So yeah, just like FOX News! Watching a liberal who advocates for state involvement in basically every area of the economy comparing higher tariffs (which liberals candidates widely supported before-Trump) to Soviet-era central planning ... well, man, is it dumb.
Response to this ridiculous hyperbole: www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinions/the-gop-has-become-the-pro-russia-party/2019/01/21/9960f0d4-1dbf-11e9-8e21-59a09ff1e2a1_story.html?utm_term=.71bfd9da3af1&__twitter_impression=true
