Today:
Congressman Mark Alford
[July 18, 2026]
We must confront communism head-on before it’s too late. 🇺🇸
If freedom is our foundation… why should we have to continue to watch communism take root in American cities?
COMMENT 👇
Is communism taking over our cities?
👍 YES — Time to fight back!
😟 NO — Explain why…
[….]
“…NO – Explain why…”
We don’t have to explain shit to you. As a member of Congress you’re the one who’s supposed to do the explaining. Dumbass.
There is much hilarity in the responses:
Chicken Little!
Sometimes I wonder if this is a parody account. 🙄
I guess when all else is falling, just take a page out of Roy Cohn’s playbook.
this whole administration is out of Roy Cohns playbook. And if anyone reading this is unsure, watch the documentary on Roy Cohn.
Good. Do a town hall at Penn Valley CC and let’s talk about it. Open forum.
Heh. Not gonna happen.
Hell Alford maga Republicans are using communist tactics on the American people . Keep lying and keep changing the narrative to keep them confused and they’ll give up. Trump wants to be putin.
They call it communism when you want a doctor. They call it freedom when one man wants everything
Not understanding the difference between communism and democratic socialism is on-brand for a third-rate news anchor.
Republicans can demonize social democracy all they want but what it really means is that we want a system where we pay into should translate into the tax payers getting something in return like affordable healthcare, a booming economy, energy efficiency and a government that works for the people. We aren’t asking for anything free we are asking for a return for our value as any self respecting person should.
Republicans are terrified of letting the people see a government that actually works for the people and not just corporations and the wealthy.
If only you took fascism as seriously as you take communism.
Know your propaganda before spreading it.
[….]
Red scare. Wherever have we seen that?
Spreading propaganda again, Mark or whoever wrote this. You have TDS- trump devotional syndrome.
Do you know what communism is ?
No. This has been another edition of Short Answers to Simple Questions.
Didn’t we see this movie back in the 50s with Joseph McCarthy? Not very creative of you.
Is the communism in the room with us right now?
What is the matter with you? Seriously? Spouting Joe McCarthy (1950s) talking points? None of you would even be using the word communism if you didn’t hear that nonsense from Trump and his mouthpieces. Do you remember how Trump has made glowing compliments about Xi, the leader of China being smart and strong, etc.? He is giving him a first rate reception when he comes to the U.S. in the next couple of weeks. While we are at it, do you remember a guy from Missouri named Harry Truman? Here is what he said about socialism. Quote courtesy of the Truman Library: “In President Harry’s Truman’s remarks in Syracuse, New York on October 10, 1952, he said this:
Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called farm price supports.
Socialism is what they called bank deposit insurance.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan “Down With Socialism” on the banner of his “great crusade,” that is really not what he means at all.
What he really means is “Down with Progress–down with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal,” and “down with Harry Truman’s fair Deal.” That’s all he means.”
How about stopping your nonsensical conspiracy theory scare tactics and coming up with real proposals to help people.
Communism = the ‘ism’ of the day for a politician and his party that fear losses in the midterms. It all comes down to what amounts to bull💩ism.
Maybe you should check out a history book to see what happened to those who backed McCarthyism. It didn’t turn out pretty.
We can see you feel backed into a corner because you feel like you might not win this time around. So, you are bringing out the buzzword, communism. You are showing just how weak you are.
You know what yes, let’s talk about it. Why don’t you schedule a townhall and we can talk about it there.
Mark Alford (r) [2025 file photo].
Most probably not.
But fascism that’s ok right
Do the name Joe McCarthy ring a bell???
I don’t see it anywhere.
Idiocy. Is idiocy taking over the Republican Party? Let’s talk about it. Certainly when it comes to Congressman Mark Alford it is. A Moron Of The First Degree
Roy Cohn, Trump’s mentor passed away in the 80s. Who is your lawyer Mark McCarthy Alford? Take every one’s eye off the ball, while fascism takes hold in the nation’s capital
No. Is this satire??
Sadly, no.
Plainly speaking.. NO it’s not … the MAGA base needs to have someone or something to blame
No it is not. So McCarthy of you.
Who elected this misshapen shrubbery, anyway?
Dear lord what year does Mark Alford think we’re living in, 1952?
Sorry, we are looking out for Fascism, a real problem
So glad we didn’t learn from the first McCarthy. What you call communism is public schools, public health, roads and infrastructure, fire depatments…. the list goes on. Sad thing is that you *know* it, but you also know that circus performances for the weak minded gets you elected, right?
How about we talk about fascism and authoritarianism, like our *current* administration.
This.
It doesn’t exist here . Fear mongering from the orange guy .
How much does a politician who uses fear mongering respect the voters?
Your system isn’t working.
With the way republicans are eliminating the middle class by making it impossible to get ahead I’d say I see it in the policy making you continue to push.
Ridiculous. You know it isn’t Just another scare tactic
“Communism” is the new boogeyman. Shades of Joseph McCarthy
I’d feel bad for Mark’s social media manager having to constantly post bullshit propaganda- but they must be on board or they wouldn’t do it. We’re not falling for it.
For MAGA, all “Communist” means is “disagrees with Trump”
Can we do something about the cost of health care, food and gas instead of trying to scare people? It’s really getting old. Trump is NOT going to be around forever.
Gotta get the grift while the getting’s good.
Mark, you will jump on any bandwagon Trump is driving.
You CANNOT be serious!!!! LOL!!!!!
“Run your damned mouth about it,” you mean.
Since *at least* Harry Truman (and arguably dating to the creation of Social Security in 1935), the terms “communism,” and “socialism,” (and through the magic of reverse causality, also “Marxism,” “Leninism,” and probably even “Trotskyism”) have been intentionally dumbed-down by the swells and their wannabes to mean any threat to the Aristocracy, however remote. Any insult, however slight. Any lapse in the deference shown them, however brief. Any curtailment of their unearned privilege, however dire the circumstance that demands it.
No longer are the terms reserved to governments based on the work of Karl Marx, the elimination of private property, state ownership of the means of production, overarching government surveillance and terrorism of its own citizenry, Gosplan-style central planning, collective farms, the “psychological hospitals” for political opponents, the Gulag system, a One Party State, or any of that other Bolshi crap. No one really believes any of that is coming back, and for a very good reason – no one with any sense is advocating a return to any of it.
Would you believe that democracy itself has come to be covered by this idiosyncratic definition? Democracy, Public Education, Labor Unions (of course), Equality, the Rule of Law and the “Regulatory State,” and indeed, the whole idea of a government whose rules must be obeyed by all.
You’re nothing but a PARROT, spouting off the talking points you have been given. You don’t care about the majority of your constituents, who are in the working class, or the harm this current administration is causing to them and their families. You are complicit in the failure of our governments checks and balances.
You know the crazy old man that wears diapers keep saying communism communism communism and you freaking magical cult people just eat it up and slurp it up and kiss his ass even a dirty diaper. A fascist regime oppresses the Press he tries to shut down all opposition. Does that sound familiar? You guys really need to stand up for the Constitution of all the Amendments not just the second amendment. The first the fourth the 12th and the 14th and then maybe use the 25th against the crazy old band that keeps leading you guys astray. Enough is enough! The blue tide is coming.
Oh sweetie, communism is deader than disco in the USA. Find a new boogeyman.
Open a book for God’s sake Mark. Have one of your people read it to you. Stop using big words you don’t know the definition to.
You are a horrible human being and a liar.
You’re just making shit up now? What precisely have you and your party, which controls all three branches of federal government, done to actually help the average American?
Never seen anyone work so hard to get their stupid ass voted out
Your lack of education regarding what communism is is very offensive. Pretending that anything that doesn’t back Trump and MAGA is somehow communist shows how little regard you have for those you claim to represent.
Your dishonesty and ignorance is something that you should be ashamed of.
You want a thumbs up or a frown. If you frown, YOU want people to explain. YOU, the bootlicking clown that never answers anyone’s questions, want people to explain.
Our country has been taken over idiots like you. You are a gutless, unqualified, propaganda machine.
Bingo.
You gotta wonder how people this stupid get elected.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. Who elects such imbeciles?
Seriously??? Anything to distract. Do you even know what communism is? SMH
Nobody with half a brain believes your stupid shit.
Marky Mark it’s so sad that you think communism is our big issue. We’re not living in the ’50s we are not going to fall for this garbage.
Didn’t take you long to start pushing the propaganda bull 💩 from your orange 🍊 clown 🤡
No asshole its not. This is pure McCarthyism designed to smear the opposition. Trump is losing badly in the polls. His programs are a joke and the public knows it . He will do anything to stay in power . The old commie card worked well in the fifties so here we go again. And of course unprincipled scoundrels like yourself will play Along not caring a whit how much damage it does.
I don’t know. What does the book titled Unhuman on communism you and the Trump administration are following by Jack Posobeic say?
Don’t insult us with this act of feigned interest in anything we have to say.
Communism is not an issue.
“Far Left Terrorism” is not an issue.
However, Fascism is definitely a problem.
Let’s face that head on by voting your fascist loving ass out of Congress.
First it was the cats and dogs being eaten then antifa and now it’s the communists,scaring people is all you got 😱republicans can’t govern 🖕
There isn’t any communism in America and you sound unbelievably stupid saying so.
No, you made the claim. Prove that communism is taking over. It’s not. Stop pushing the false propaganda.
Go back to the 1950s and McCarthyism, and try to improve your IQ by learning a history lesson. It’s nothing but a red herring.
You are crazy. Find some new material.
My God, this crap is straight out of McCarthyism from the 1950s.
Let’s start very simply with having you tell us the definition of communism? If you can manage that, we will then collectively show you why you’re an idiot.
Mark has so little to offer politically that he is now resorting to resurrecting Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Red Scare tactics to accompany his White Nationalism. This is unAmerican and unacceptable.
[….]
Seriously stop.
There is no communism!!!!
You truly are an clueless idiot
You’re just kissing daddy Trumps ass more and more.
Why do you push these stupid and dangerous lies?
Do you even know whst you are doing and the damage it’s causing?
I mean seriously
Or
You that power hungry that you would sell you would to the devil
You truly are not a Christian.
You should be ashamed of yourself
You are literally the dumbest person in Missouri and that says a lot.
Mark Alford (r) [2024 file photo].
Alford’s like-hey guys our policies suck so let’s try to gin up a red scare to get votes. Your constituents are too smart to fall for this bs.
You’re so desperate you’re making the Red Scare great again. No real ideas to help make ordinary Americans lives better, so pull out some of scare tactics from the past.
Moron.
In the form of scared masked ICE Agents.
Congressman Mark Alford let’s talk about how Republicans and MAGA have made things worse and quit the imaginary belief it’s the communist fault.
It’s yours. You’re a screamer who makes things worse based on your record.
Where are the communists, Mark?
Please spell out what plans they are pushing that qualifies for that distinction.
You’re a goddamn liar and worthless fearmonger.
Congressman Mark Alford This kind of talk is completely unhinged. Screaming about “communism taking root in American cities” isn’t leadership — it’s paranoia. Anyone who’s this detached from reality shouldn’t be anywhere near a public seat of power. At this point, it’s clear he’s lost his mind, and the responsible thing would be for him to step down immediately, OR VOTE HIM OUT
Alford you and your party have nothing to run on so you are bringing out the boggy man
