Opinion | Trump Calls Harris a Communist.' That Shows How Worried He Is.
Briefly

No, I don't mean privately calling her the B-word, although he reportedly does. I mean communist, an insult echoed by some of his allies...So why does Trump say that she is? Well, red-baiting, like race-baiting which Trump also does when it comes to Harris is very much part of the American political tradition.
To find such a term you need to go to European countries in which it was important to distinguish between parties supporting a strong social safety net and Communist parties, which weren't at all the same thing...politicians like Harris, who supports a free-market economy with a robust social safety net, are known as social democrats.
