Everyone needs to watch the 90s movie Clifford, it explains this awesomely. Clifford is an annoying and manipulative brat who only cares about one thing. He gets it, and then he decides that he'd rather be well behaved, because he wants people to like him.

Why would I ever be in a such a hurry to buy milk that I can't check what kind it is? I don't need milk to live. I only use milk in fun recipes, not everyday staples.
Imagine you go to an unfamiliar grocery store and get some milk. When you get home and try to make coffee, the milk looks and smells weird. You check the label, and find out you accidentally bought yak milk. It is in every sense of the word milk, it just came out of a yak. If you're a reasonable person, you'll learn your lesson to check what the milk comes from before buying it.
Yak milk or soy milk doesn't matter in my view. If you wanted cow milk, look for the word cow. If it's not there, don't assume it's cow milk.
I've only had butter made from animals a handful of times. Nothing special.
I'm in favour of regulations against calling plant milk cow milk, but I'm against regulations against calling it milk. Look at coconut milk. If customers want cow milk, they can very well look at the label. But normal people just want milk and don't much care what it comes out of.
Because he's a fascist, and fascists are more likely to have homoerotic fetishes than be gay.
You're thinking of expert systems, an old form of AI from the 70s
Being gay is a sexuality. What Trump has is a homoerotic fetish.

Dessalines is so brainwormed he'll reply to a Marx quote and call that person "anti-communist"

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
That or he thinks Karl Marx was a liberal

I thought I'd try my hand at explaining why this meme fundamentally misunderstands communist theory and that I'd better move it here after I posted it, because the people on that community sure love downvoting and/or removing any good point made against the tankie dogma.
Oh, and remember to always lead by challenging tankies' attempts to portray themselves as the ingroup of communism and any critics as the outgroup. That's a tactic they love using, they construct their opinions as the absolute communist truth, and brand any opposing opinion as liberal and capitalist, while also strawmanning it. If you open by criticising their communist credentials, they can't dismiss you as a liberal and pretend they're arguing in good faith.
