The counterpoint would be the overuse of the word socialism makes it more ineffective when used as a Republican propaganda word.

Ceding it would be a Republican victory.

The example is the Affordable Care Act. Republicans hated it so much the derisively renamed it Obamacare But the public didn’t share their sentiments and Obamacare has stuck. So much so, when the replacement for Obamacare was finally announced after ten years the opposition named it “TrumpRX.”

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. 😂😂
