will be calling us "socialists" and we need to decide how to counter it as a slur. It's clear the GOP is going to try to make the whole lot of us into brown shirt, goose-stepping Communists. Rather than let this gain steam, the sheeple need to be educated about what we stand for. When polled on "socialist" policies, people respond very favorably. When polled on just the word they react as if we plan to burn all the American flags and send them to internment camps.
