Pretty much the same way you use the term communist, as if there was any ideological connection between the American progressives, some of whom belonged to the communist party of the first half of the 20th century, and Leninist/Stalinist Russia. The U.S. would be unrecognizable without the changes wrought by U.S. socialists and labor movement activists, and not unrecognizable in a good way. There is a straight line connection between the progressive movement then and the Civil Rights movement, the Women’s movement, the environmental movement, the LBGQ equality movement, and yes, a lot of people hate those, wish they could get their privilege back, wish there were no impediments to their profit making schemes. Of course Trump stands for corruption in government, degradation of the constitution, self dealing whenever possible, and authoritarian violence, wonder which Trump values you share?
