Name-calling

Within the American political context, if you call your opponent, left or right, a Communist or a Nazi or a Stalinist or, honestly, even a Socialist, you have made it clear that you have no idea what any of those terms mean.
And, if you talk about dictatorship, it is clear that you have never lived under one or even visited a country that ever had one.
