“Socialism” is pejorative in America, so people stop listening. People are tired of it. That word won’t stick. It’s a turnoff. It doesn’t help.

Except the whole part about it being the truth, then yeah, it doesn't help.

It makes no difference if it is the truth or not, if a word tends to make people stop listening to you, it’s not very useful if you are trying to persuade those people.

If you describe instead exactly what the democrats are doing, people become horrified and want to act. They will do so because of what they then know is happening, and it won’t make a bit of difference what you call it.

Just explain how the Democrat cap-and-trade bill forces homeowners to make expensive and unnecessary improvements to their house if they want to sell it or do anything that requires a building permit. I heard two ordinary housewives discussing this, and they were livid — neither were political, but they understood that they weren’t getting new kitchen cabinets because of the Democrats.
