I think it might be dumber than that. I think they might be referring to our backing of dictatorships as backing communism because they think communism is when dictator. If you asked them to specify they would probably say Saudi Arabia and shit.
I don’t think Conservatives would dare use the word “dictator” to describe the likes of Pinochet. After all, everybody knows that Pinochet brought the freedoms of the free market (best system in the world, best and most freest ever) to the oppressed Chilean people who were suffering under … checks notes … mild social democracy.
I could be wrong though, I’m sure there are some really violet chuds that would say he was a dictator and that was a good thing because leftist bad

I think that may be more the liberal mindset. Conservatives don’t mind dictators a la Pinochet as long as they’re right wing and US aligned.

Joe Biden was a communist.
Plenty of them do believe this
American conservatives are some of the dumbest motherfuckers you’ll ever meet
There’s a post going around Twitter rn where some American conservative was like “we were this close to communism” like “wow we dodged a bullet” lmao
Exactly. They’ll say that the EU is communist because of Macron and that’s why we need to put tariffs on them.
A relative told me this recently
I was also repeatedly informed of this fact by a family member.
