1. I think we should just take them head-on with the "socialism" meme.

To have them make us rename what we believe in is like Warren taking a DNA test rather than telling Trump to go fuck himself. If they say "socialism," we say "that's why your Grandma has Medicare." When they say "socialism," we say "every one of God's children deserves to be taken care of, not just the wealthy ones." (Being an atheist, that one will make me choke a bit, but it's their schtick and you have to get through to them. LOL.) In any case, at least we have a heads up on what foolishness they plan to run on, so we'd better come up with a united, automatic response.
