Maybe not use the word socialism then. Medicare for all works better. But it can't be that hopeless. You will always have that hard core 20% that simply are too brainwashed and mentally challenged to ever accept anything that Rush and Hannity don't want either. But I still think that Democrats could take every opportunity, on every talk appearance, to simply state these truths about how things that Americans hold dear like the military (or overly dear as a result of those same media companies), would cost even more than they do now if they were not funded in a socialized way.
They should not be afraid to also enlighten the views of what you raised. That Blue states, in general, help to fund the Red states in a quazi socialized way already. That "redistribution of wealth" is already happening. And this would have even more impact because it is an embarrassing truth for the GOP.
But they have to be all in, with a singular voice, and relentless in the tactic, for it to work.
