Senator Eric Schmitt
[July 15, 2026]

The Hammer & Sickle wave has taken over the Democrat party.
They are Anti-police. Anti-ICE. Anti-Western Civilization.
It’s incredibly dangerous for our country.
[….]

Some of the responses:

Is the boogie man in the country with us?

As long as there are Republicans…

Yah his name is trump

Yah his name is trump

Franklin D. Roosevelt was frequently called a socialist by his conservative and far-right critics during the 1930s. However, he strongly rejected the label and viewed his New Deal policies not as a shift toward socialism, but as a pragmatic effort to save capitalism by addressing severe economic inequality and preventing a potential revolution.

what he did was lift the country out of a Depression. Just because it helps people doesn’t make socialism evil. Capitalism without regard to the working class is evil.

anti cops come from their own actions.

I needed a good laugh this morning. Keep the Russian influence coming – we all need a joke to start our day.

Ignorance, stupidity and hate on full display. Typical degenerate scumbag loser.

except it’s not funny; it’s hateful and a deliberate effort to smear over 50% of the voters in our country.

This guy is hilarious

Of course he is! …. He’s a REPBLICAN!😂

what a delusional pice of fascist shitbag

Ignorance and hate on full display. Typical degenerate scumbag loser!

They are worried about communism, but they really ought to look up the 14 characteristics of fascism.

Fascism Anyone? – Laurence W. Britt (2003)

“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”

Oh no the Pinkos are back!
You guys are great comedy. I thank you.

Are you serving the people or the Republican party? Instead of spewing the rhetoric the Republican Party has told you to use, maybe you should listen to the constituents of Missouri who elected you to represent them. I am tired of your fear mongering rhetoric and can’t wait to vote you out.

Theyre really really going for the scare angle on the mid terms

Is this the new desperation angle?? Ya’ll, really?

If this The Onion or InfoWars?

Sadly, no.

Inaccurate. But the pro-McCarthy wave is taking over the GOP.

Carry that water, dude.

When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag, carrying a Bible. And calling itself MAGA. (see above)

Paint me evil for wanting universal healthcare, paid maternity leave, free college and trade school, protections for workers from wage theft and exploitation, clean water and air, safety, and our freedoms protected.

So the tagline ‘socialist’ wasn’t wording and is now escalated to ‘communist’ – got it.

What crazy label will Republicans use next to attack Democrats?
Republicans control all 3 branches of our government. Wouldn’t be nice if they could use their time to make America a better place to live?

oh no not the red scare…again… because that went so well the first time around lol

Oh, y’all found a new talking point. How cute!

I thought we were ANTIFA??? 😄

This doesn’t sound like communism to me …………Liberals in the United States have historically championed an active government role to promote social welfare, expand civil liberties, and regulate the free market. Their major contributions to the country fall into several foundational areas: Economic and Labor Protections The New Deal (1930s): Instituted under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, this series of programs created Social Security to provide a safety net for the elderly, established the minimum wage, and spurred job creation through programs like the Works Progress Administration. Labor Rights: Legalized the right of workers to form unions and collectively bargain through the National Labor Relations Act. Civil and Voting Rights Civil Rights Act of 1964: Passed under President Lyndon B. Johnson, this landmark legislation legally ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Voting Rights Act of 1965: Prohibited racial discrimination …

You are hilarious! Let’s cry “red menace”… that will move public opinion.

Old playbook won’t work

Projecting much?

I was a preteen in the 50s, but I remember my mom was locked on those hearings daily. When McCarthy was finally called out, it sounded like a baseball stadium in our neighborhood.

The “red menace” myth again!🤣 That dog don’t hunt.

Anti western civilisation? OMG we are doomed, doomed I say.

I’m 63 years old, and I’ve been hearing about “communism” taking over our country for as long as I remember. It’s a scare tactic that is used to intimidate when things aren’t going their way. Those of us who are educated and intelligent know that. It’s the same old, same old. The only enemy we face, right now, is the current administration. Period.

Did not have “attempt to recreate the Red Scare” on my 2026 bingo card

Maybe the senator should be anti-lying?

This idiot is such an embarrassment.

A lot of well reasoned and intelligent responses to this ridiculous post. I can’t add anything extra so I will just say ‘piss off Eric’.

When was the last time you actually had an original thought instead of just regurgitating shite….

Does he have a list of names?

The Red Scare bit is many decades out of date.

. . . Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Studies show that the states and counties with worst quality of life are governed by Republicans. Tickle down economics is a monumental failure. Drastic change has to happen, and moderation ain’t going to cut it.

“We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our own history and our doctrine and remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular…. There is no way for a citizen of the Republic to abdicate his responsibility.”
― Edward R. Murrow

The things people say instead of just saying the truth; they truly only want two classes in society, the rich and the poor

What are you afraid of Eric?

Now affordability and expanding public services are “hammer and sickle” policies?

Wow you make them sound so cool

Heh.

Wine makes everything funnier

Heh.

I don’t know why these people think anyone is taking them seriously. It’s like they think we’re stupid or something.

Sadly, yes.

Right because expecting OUR HARD EARNED TAX MONEY to come back to *us* in the form of services and not just be siphoned off by billionaires is just *so* unreasonable. 🙄

When I see the inversion of truth, where lies are presented as facts, I feel compelled to interact. The entire Republican platform falls under the category of “inversion of truth”. The deliberate reversal of reality, where truth is branded as falsehood and lies are presented as fact, essentially turning moral or factual, truths upside down. It is a form of manipulation or propaganda where, for example, evil is labeled good, or aggression is portrayed as defense.

Everyone’s laughing at you Eric.

I saw some unicorns, a few pigs flying by, and it might’ve been a cow jumping over the moon last night, but I still haven’t seen any people pushing for communism. Anyone else?

Are they in the room with us now?

Gaslighting at its finest.

Oh my, be Communist is not enough! Now we are against Western Culture too! Hilarious 😂

I would be ashamed if this kind of crap came out of my mouth. Apparently you failed your history class

I’m so scared

Awww! Might cut into the grift.

Nutcase

Oh my god, how dare anyone propose helping the poor and elderly, making health care affordable, making the obscenely wealthy pay appropriate taxes, ensuring freedom of and from religion…it is far too anti-evil to be considered…

What are you, 3 years old? Get a grip mini-McCarthy.

Do these Republicans really believe this shit?

It’s hard to tell.

Let’s resurrect the old republican playbook of McCarthyism. Because that worked so well, the first time

we are also anti-propaganda

Oh, come on!! This is what we’re going with now? Pathetic.

I get to live through a pandemic AND another red scare, oh what a time to be alive

You people are so fucking desperate it is unreal.

This guy is an idiot!!! Helping the GOP demagogues to establish another boogeyman for the cowardly GOP electorate. Schmitt contributes nothing to this nation but GOP bullshit.

And on and on….
