"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

It's a cult that wants people to believe they're not socialists. They're democratic socialists.

With "platforms".

A lot of years of FOX News brain-rot for Custard to reverse.

I don’t know that I’ve watched 10 cumulative minutes of Fox News in my lifetime, but I am educated and have retained some of that education.

Socialism, at its core, is public ownership of means of production.

A Northern European style social democracy is not socialism. Note that it doesn’t even have socialism in its name! It offers robust social programs that are paid for with heavy tax burdens, not seizure of the means of production. Free market economies are fundamentally not socialist regardless of how big their social safety nets are.

“Social democracy” and “social safety nets” are very widely accepted terms.

Seizing the means of production is is not social democracy or a social safety net.

Eradicating western civilization is not a step towards a social democracy. Nor is it a step towards social safety nets.
