      They’ve been doing it for years. Like the “National Socialists are leftists because socialist is in the name” thing. Ignoring that in Europe at the time, everybody was basically calling themselves socialist to chase the votes of the working population.

      They aren’t stupid, it’s intentional, to muddy the waters for people that aren’t very familiar with that history.
