Trump's Cries of 'Communist' Follow Familiar Script

The article delves into how political leaders like Hungary's Orban and Brazil's Bolsonaro have used fear-mongering to consolidate power by creating enemies, and now Trump is adopting a similar tactic by labeling opponents as communists.

By following this script, Trump risks further polarizing the nation and sidelining substantive policy debates in favor of divisive rhetoric. This trend is worrying as it echoes authoritarian tactics seen in other parts of the world.
