Hopefully they will realize that the best America has ever been outside of racial and social issues is when FDR was president who was basically a social Democrat, although he preferred the term progressive and new nationalist. The decades after his economic reforms were the greatest time in American history, and then the Republicans got power again with Nixon and started to dismantle all of it, by the time Regan was in office, he killed organized labor and cut taxes on corporations leading to the current situation of hyper Inflationary debt based economics.
This is exactly what needs to happen again. A bold progressive president who DGAF and builds some monumental new social programs and revives a strong welfare state, taking back the word “welfare” because it’s A GOOD thing to not watch your citizens starve to death in the street, and we once knew this.
Nordic Style socialism is actually called social democracy. Americans are somehow latching onto the term given to them by the right.
Not Americans, American media which is all completely controlled by oligarchs.
