As if this makes any difference to an average Republican and some Democrats. US people panic when they hear socialism even if it’s refered to social democratic state which essentially is a hybrid between liberal economy with socialism so that the worst part of the two systems are removed or diminished.

That is to say that USA wouldn’t need to turn into Soviet Union to become a social democracy and could have benefits of both systems. Unfortunately the brains have been in the washing for way to long by the wealthy elites as they are the only ones that would lose in such system.
