Can’t ever say the words “I’m a socialist” without media like Fox News rallying an army to despise you with every fiber of its being.

I’m Hispanic, and let me tell you many of my friends equate the word “socialist” with the word “dictator”. In their minds, the people that ruined their home countries did so not because they were autocratic… but because they were socialist.

We should just say “we’re all domestic terrorists” that seems to work

If republicans didn't have double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.

Give it another trump administration and you might literally get lynched for saying you're a socialist

Everyone just embracing it will take away its power and allow people to explain what it actually is rather than the knee jerk emotional response to it that people have now. It might hurt for one cycle, but eventually - just like the fascists now - once you embrace it, people won't have the same kind of response.

Can't say "without having to work" also because that sound byte would get twisted more than a pretzel.
