LoL - I'll call whomever I want, whatever I want to call them. I had a whole dictionary of descriptors to choose from - I just happened to settle on "fools". I'm not sure who all you were thinking about - it certainly wasn't the Pelosi, Chuckie Schumer, Clinton types - no, you are correct there, those are evil. I was thinking of all the politically illiterate useful idiot citizens - some known to me, others not - I run across on social media every day, not having a clue as to the evil they are in support of. Those are the fools I speak of, who seek out lies and wallow in them, not comprehending the bigger picture. It will be clowns like them who will be the ruination of this country.

I think that we agree on the effects of these...uh, people. Communism, Leftism, etc. are totalitarian in nature, and exact a fearful price on those under their control.

I made a big deal about “fools” vs. a stronger set of terms, because I believe that these...people...have to take ownership of what they are preaching and voting for. Not all of them are so stupid or ignorant as you think - many WANT the US to become like Cuba, East Germany, the USSR, etc., and (IMHO) they need to be called out on it. If they happen to be ignorant and object that “this is not what I want,” then you have an opportunity to educate them, and perhaps to convince them that this kind of mindset and government leads ONLY to misery.

Of course, you are free to use whatever terms you’d like - you don’t need my permission or approval for that. I’m simply suggesting that we should call a spade, a spade and thereby accomplish 2 purposes: first, ridicule and, second, possible education. Either or both is a victory over these @ssholes.
