Socialism is, still, somewhat unpopular - but socialist POLICY is wildly popular.
The only think holding the US back from a socialist government is the failure of a movement to unify it with nationalism, but if the Red insurrection keeps up, I imagine that will happen.
I suspect that the globalist impulse, especially as it is financed and presumably strongly influenced by a few dark figures, will work against the emergence of a nationalist theme with which the insurrectionist can complete their revolution. Until now, I view the insurrection as mainly reactive against their broad theme, America is unworthy because it is institutionally racist. I cannot resist resorting once more to Nathan's Bedford's first maxim of American politics: all politics is not local but ultimately racial.
The application of this maxim over decades has carried the Democrats in many an election and may well do so this November. I note that Hitler joined the dark side on racial politics but eschewed the globalist worldview of conventional communism.
If the insurrectionists are primarily a conventional socialist force, that is driven by a dogma of international socialism, the transparently false antiracist platform that has carried them this far will have to be discarded or the left will have to rationalize one of the greatest ideological somersaults since the Molotov/Ribbentrop pact.
Unfortunately, history tells us that the left is quite capable and even eager to sodomize its own ideology when convenient.
