When socialism takes over America in 2020 will it be a glorious day for personkind?

I think the less crazy amongst us --whether Democrat and Republican -- would refer to that as the Democrat nominee winning the democratic presidential election of 2020

You have no idea what Socialism is or how far the US is from it.

Why would I want to live the Russian troll dream of having my country become authoritarian? BTW, if the Russian bombers try to pay us any more visits, I can't guarantee that both the U.S. and Canadian air force won't destroy them.

It sure will be for "the party", those at the top in the organization of the governing party.

Perhaps, but methinks only for the low-info and sub-Al Gore IQ types. Which are you, honey? Please share!

Lol, you mean like when HRC was assured of winning?

What kind of brownies you be eatin'? Socialism Started back in the Thirties, (Social Security). And It Went Nowhere from there. The Supreme Court cut it off with FDR's NRA decision.

It won't happen.

socialism is never going to "take over" America. America will continue to be what it's been for the last century - well-regulated capitalist.

Socialists in America sided with Hugo, Fidel, Lenin, and Mao. Now they want to import that into the USA. Don’t worry, we will destroy them once and for all.

1965 was when LBJ instituted the federal 'American' Democrat 'great' society, with healthcare education and welfare managed by DC Democrats. I cannot imagine anyone saying 'we' want some more of 'this.' As even the Canadians and Euros seem to do better than 'American' Democrats.

I think that it could happen, given the lack of knowledge of history, coupled with the lack of common sense and good judgment among the liberal voters in the US. The Marxist Progressives, who first hijacked the title of "liberal", have now began referring to themselves as "Democratic Socialists". This is the exact same tactic employed by Lenin and Stalin, the fore fathers of the Progressive movement in Russia. Lenin championed Democratic Socialism before he began to meet opposition to his leadership and was forced to convert to Communism, force, and mass murder in order to maintain power. https://www.marxists.org/archive/malenkov/1949/12/21.htm However, Norman Thomas, six time Presidential Candidate of the American Socialist Party, explained it best: "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened. I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate for the Socialist Party. The Democratic Party has adopted our platform."

Socialism and American Ideals are mutually incompatible. There have been Socialists in America for over a century, and their actual influence has been negligible.

That would be a giant leap. Liberal Americans are similar to the UK right wing party, called Conservatives.

Extremists republicans can't seem to see the difference between helping the poor and murdering the rich, burning the flag, or eating babies for breakfast.
