    on how many times Fox, in their "regular" programming and throughout their prime time demogogues' propaganda, interjects the term "socialism" into everything they "report."

    Already an obvious orchestrated effort, the right could never comprehend actually issues, but the melodrama sells, scapegoats replace having to think

    Well, the Democrat Pro Socialist Media barely ever mentions the democrat candidates.

    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    I'm not sure what you call the Democrat candidates if not socialist,

    the very definition of socialism is take from some to give to others
    This just In::: Trump indicted for living in liberals heads and not paying RENT

    you don't even know what a fascist is? throwing that word around like a parrot stuck on nut mode

    Socialism is simply taking from some to provide for others, that will never promote self worth, the drive to get ahead, the principle that you can reach any goal you are willing to work hard to achieve, the American way....and every policy the Democrats by and large are promoting, and have ben promoting is just socialism disguised as being fair.

    There is a reason why America is different, why we have stood out from socialist countries, because we believe in capitalism, it works
    Not a chance in hell the make up of this country, at present, will let that happen.

    I understand your side is working on it, but you have a ways to go

    While the left wing media ignores the Antifa movement. BTW Antifa (which the left supports) and Fascism Are the Same Side.

    How Trump and Fox News work with fascists to spread hateful propaganda
    By staging streets fights with "antifa," hate groups help Trump push the lie that "both sides" cause terrorism


    Unable to actually defend spreading hateful lies that demonize people of color, Trump and his allies rely instead on a different tactic: False equivalence, trying to argue that "both sides" stoke violence and therefore they're being unfairly targeted with criticism. In this mission, Trump is getting a big assist from hate groups and neo-fascists, who have dedicated themselves to the task of creating a false narrative that "antifa" — a loose coalition of left-wing, anti-fascist activists, some of whom are willing to confront violence with violence — are a terrorist threat equivalent to that of the white nationalists who actually commit the vast majority of hate crimes.

    The gullibility that even a moron like Trump recognized when he said that he could "shoot somebody in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose voters" is indicative of the absolute stupidity and ignorance of a Trump supporter.

    No disguise. Not anymore. They are blatant fascists. It's been heading that way for around 30+ years now.

    I would hazard a guess that when the term socialism is used by Fox, it is most frequently used in a negative light and rarely if ever mentioned the positive aspects.
    Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.

    I'm pretty sure that buzz word 'socialism' will be used by the Republicans to great effect.

    It's the same old Frank Luntz type of crap. Just like the greedy creatures at the top who benefit from myth of "trickle down" and are destroying the American Dream were called the "job creators." And the dumbed-down right falls for it every damn time because they are that stupid. They have no clue as to what Socialism actually is and how they are partaking and participating in forms of it every day. They were never tossed an idiotic ball that they are not willing to run with even if it means it is to their own detriment.
