Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people. --Harry Truman, 1952

The GOP base & MAGA cult has been deeply and profusely conditioned & indoctrinated, like Pavlovian dogs, into drooling with endorphins and adrenaline at the mere mention by GOP politicians/pundits, at the mention of trigger words designed to stir the herd & make hate what's good.

Well, considering that socialism derives its etymology from the Latin „socius“ i.e. ‘friend’ and they don’t have any of those, it would make sense they reject anything related to that concept.
