Nope, no one is proposing real socialism. There is a problem though with the existing elite who are already doing everything they can to stifle democracy and rip off everyone that's not in their club. I think those are the hoarders you should be concerned about. Trump is a disease and the Republican party is the virus spreading the disease. Get a clue!

@jerry99
Watered down so called Democratic Socialism is still going to lead to real socialism eventually so,why even go down that path knowing where it leads is not where anyone wants to be?
Again, I am just trying to understand everyone by the way. If you are insulted by my questions, I apologise. I just want to find a compromise between everyone in this society before we destroy our own country.

Take a good look at the Western European socialist democracies — they’re doing much better than the US in terms of quality of life, healthcare, education, etc. May be worth thinking a bit harder about the socialism bogeyman the Repubs have been trying to scare people with.

@jerry99
Lol @ Socialism boogeyman, I definitely understand what you mean by that. What that end of the media throws at people is not what we are actually talking about. Still, the social programs that are successful in most European countries work for groups of people in a much smaller geographical area than America. Anyway, clearly, it is something think about and strive towards, by all means!

I never wished Obama's death because that would be seen as racist as well as disrespectful, even though most of his executive actions are far more treasonous than anything Trump has actually done. In fact Trump is mostly acting in the best interest of America, in his own way, which is rather effective looking at his overall success in business. Anyway, I really get tired of seeing the double standard most left wing extremists put out. It is worse than the most hypocritical christian extremist bible thumping I hear from people in this area!
