President Donald Trump is going to do what no U.S. president has ever had to do before: He will denounce socialism in America.
"The tone will be presidential, but the text will pull no punches when President Trump delivers his State of the Union address next week with an attack on the 'rising force of socialism' in the Democratic Party," Crilly reported last week.
A Fox News poll found that between February and December of last year, favorability of socialism grew from 25% of respondents to 31%, with those who strongly favor it growing from 6% to 10%. At the same time, unfavorability fell from 59% to 53%. The Democratic Party is consumed by socialism.
As we noted in May of last year, "a shockingly high 70% of Democrats say that socialism is 'a good thing.' When Gallup asked about socialism just one year ago, 57% said they have a positive view of socialism. And last year's poll was the first to find majority support for socialism among Democrats."
The Democrats' infatuation with socialism is playing out in Iowa, where Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has won elections as a Socialist, was the leader going into the caucuses, and in New Hampshire, where he has a seven-point lead over Joe Biden and a 14-point lead over Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Even if we're talking about the welfare statism or "Democratic socialism" of some European nations rather than the socialism of Cuba, East Germany, Venezuela and the retired Soviet Union, the heart of any system based on collectivism still requires coercion, punitive taxation, and a varying disregard for property rights.
Will Trump use strong words rather than watered-down political language to remind America of socialism's gulags, inherent violence, and forced conformity; of planned economies' abuse of liberty, smothering bureaucratic traps, and the oppression of the many through the power of a few?
