Centrist Democrats like Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom seem to think the best way to disparage Donald Trump is to highlight his departures from free-market orthodoxy. Good luck with that.

    By being vague with ‘communist dictator’ the listener fills in the blanks. It could mean anything from Ceausescu in 1988 to Stalin in 1925 or Tito in 1948. For someone like Harris I think that lack of context is the point.

    ‘Fascist dictator’ is a little too focused and direct. You can’t pivot across a contradictory landscape of history for exceptions as easily.
