76. We are socialist, so are the republicans.

We pick the socialism we like. Public schools repukes like. Healthcare for all Americans they don't like. SS we like. Feeding and housing children they don't like. Massive defense spending we like. Minority school districts they don't like, Philadelphia and Reading. Vaccines we like. A woman making decisions about her body they don't like.
When you explain socialism to Americans they are a bit shocked how much socialism we have.
