Having a slightly higher tax rate doesn't make you a Socialist country. Trump doesn't even know what Socialism is, so I wouldn't expect his uneducated followers to know either. Having mandated private health insurance is not Socialism either.
If having high taxes makes you Socialist then we were a Socialist country under Eisenhower, Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, and Carter. The top marginal rate was anywhere from 70% to 90% under those presidents. The top tax rates didn't drop below 50% until Reagan and later.
In that case, shouldn't we all be brushing up on our Spanish?

Pfft. That makes too much sense. Trump wouldn't be able to comprehend it.

What is a "he$$ hol !!!"?
That's not Spanish, is it?
Further, what evidence do you have that America will become a one-party nation, let alone a one-party communist nation? That's kind of a leap, dontcha think? What harbingers exist that would lead someone to such a ridiculous conclusion?
You can call it whatever - American dream, right-wing dream, MAGA, whatever.
Whatever it is, I am still waiting for the Trump campaign to say what it is that they will do in their 2nd term if they are elected.
You can call Biden's policy socialism or whatever, but at least he has a plan. A very detailed one. What is Trump's?
I've been asking this question for months and even got my posts removed. Apparently, asking what Trump will do for the next four years is considered trolling in the right-wing minds.

He'll let you know his plan....in "two weeks".
Everything with that bloated Wink Martindale is "wait and see", "you'll find out soon" and "in two weeks". And his faithful, with their goldfish attention spans, keep coming back to suckle at his orange teet.
US would be 'no different than Venezuela' under a Biden administration,
The president was responding to a question about what he thinks is the starkest contrast between himself and Biden
Then, phma, please explain why President Trump isn't constantly harping on the need to abolish all this socialism that has been going on in this country starting with Social Security. So how do you expect to trust Trump to be against more Socialism when he refuses to be against Social Security?

Why are Trumpers so overtaken by fear? Good grief.
