The difference is democrats are using MAGA accurately
Should Republicans have said, "People who would probably be A-okay with implementing actual socialism if they had the political capital to do so but for now will settle for as much as they can reasonably get passed via legislation"?
Show me a democrat in leadership or the White House that’d do that
Pretty much as soon as public opinion “catches up,” every left-leaning party tries to enact as much change as possible - including Democrats. I’ll maintain people are gullible if they don’t think most leaders on the left in America would prefer our economy was structured more like a Nordic country than what it currently is … and I’m sure I’ll be met with, “And what’s wrong with that?!” And that will prove my point. The vast majority are at the very least incredibly sympathetic to making our currently significantly more socialist than it currently is, and I have to laugh that a left-leaning party would take that win with a chill “We did it!” and rest easy.
So you’re indictment is that democrats are secretly wanting to do the will of the people?
You’ve also betrayed the point. “More socialist” is not the same as “socialist”. The whole economic debate is whether we’re more socialist if capitalist, which is not the same as being socialist or capitalist. Also socialism is an economic model so I fail to see how Scandinavia’s gross discrimination against Muslims is relevant to their general economic policy.
