Agreed. It’s called oppression. It’s grooming so that the masses learn to believe they don’t deserve better. Similar to how abusers tell their victims they had to abuse them. It’s an unhealthy and totally toxic culture due to poor leadership from the top down near everywhere.
Stoking division prevents mass demonstrations and the unity required to break this chain. I for one am in favor of promoting common ground ,issues that resonate in the hearts of all Americans
So call it like it is “social democracy” and relegate old pejorative labels like “socialism” to the ashcan of history. Like “enlightened capitalism “ the new term reflects the new iterations of political ideology.
