Fox News Says Government Advising Good Thermostat Temperatures Is Akin to Communism (crooksandliars.com)

Fox News and the entire GOP is so terrified of Mayor Zohran Mamdani's success that they are mocking him for asking New Yorkers to be careful with their thermostats during an extreme heat wave. This is the same advice Trump's Energy Department has suggested as well.

Not only do they look foolish, but they appear desperate in their efforts to smear and ridicule a popular political rival.

This morning on Fox and Friends, the three co-hosts were beside themselves that the mayor of New York City would ask residents to turn the thermostat higher to conserve energy so that there aren't any blackouts during this massive heat wave.

Correct. Anything MAGA doesn't like is Communism.

Enforcing Tax codes -> Communism
Lower Fossil Fuel usage -> Communism
Being told no on being asked out on a date -> Communism
Investigating anything for corruption -> Communism
Having to ask for mustard on your sandwich -> Communism

Basically anything.

Its a thing they apply to specific people. You either do things communistly or freedomly even if its the same exact action.

For instance, when the DSA is saying the public should have ownership over Intel they're being real communists about it.

When Donald Trump does it, he's doing it freedom style, which makes it okay.

Edit - It occurs to me the analogy here is that these are sorcery rules the 'communist magics' are evil and musn't be cast while the 'freedom magics' are good. Imo it might be funny to create a "Christian Socialists of America" so you can cast out of the DSA spellbook using 'freedom magics'

currently its "woke" , communisim seems to be making a come back, mostly because of the recent wins by non-DINO dems.
