Not actual socialism, conservatives are clueless when it comes to the concept, but the word "socialism," we are going to be hearing it endlessly the closer we get to the election by not only Trump but the entire right wing media, lot of analogizing Venezuela and "socialism"
All Democrat programs of any kind such as healthcare, which was a winning issue for them in the midterms, or any mention reexamining taxing the rich, are going to now be demonized as the dreaded "socialism."
Plays well with the base, especially the OBG's who still think there are commies under the bed, and it is generalized enough to be applied to almost anything. We all know conservatives love their melodrama, always have to have some existential threat on the horizon, anything to demogogue into fear and anxiety, and since immigration ain't working, "socialism" is perfect
Look for "socialism" a lot in the days to come
Trump did well to position himself as the anti-socialist going into 2020.
And to think democrats handed it to him on a silver platter.
