    A have a family member who is full MAGA and does exactly this. Then he will describe something that he thinks is a good idea, and when I point out to him that he is describing socialism he denies it. It is very frustrating!

      I found out a really good way to describe how I feel in these situations. Ball up your fist then in a single swing knock your family member to the ground. If you completed step 2 pat yourself on the back comrade

      Please keep that in mind next time a democrat tells you they have to move more right to win voters. Your family member is very far from unique.

      Is it possible to direct these conversations away from semantics? It seems you two actually agree on stuff, but not on hou both of you call it.

      Just don’t call the stuff you agree on socialism and focus on how Trump actually fights against this.
