    So long as they can manage to get it through the thick skull of probably a majority of United States citizens that socialism and communism are not the same thing, then that would be a good first or second step since so many people have been brainwashed into believing they are the same thing.

        That would help, too, but I can guarantee a large portion of voters would absolutely not vote for any socialist because they’d immediately think they’re trying to replace democracy with communism all because of the effective brain washing.

        Though UBI sounds good right about now.

            IDK if after his term, if there’s an election, you could convince any of his cult followers still following him to switch.

            As for those that ditch him, probably seeing a socialist repeatedly on whatever shit show podcasts and news channels they watch, if it’s under a positive light, might help. Otherwise, IDK how you’d convince them since I’m not an expert at convincing people.

              I’m NOT sure if it’s easy to convince Trump voters to vote for a socialist, but as long as you DIDN’T say “socialist”, “capitalist” and “communist” and you use keywords like “populism” and “class”, then you’re good. It worked for Zohran in New York.
