All Democrats? That's not the parallel. 1pg's comment specifically cited Trump supporters, not all Republicans. - sheila

Agreed. I should have said all Biden supporters, not all Democrats. - BHM

Naah, Bernie Bros are Democratic socialists, but if you look at what's going on in the Nordic states, most of the economy is market driven. So the most successful countries have a blend of socialism and capitalism. We really should come up with a new name for that. We have social security and medicare, but if you look at Sweden, last I checked some 40% of the corps were government owned/run. Norway owns 60% of Equinor, big oil in the North Sea, runs chains of gas stations, etc. Works pretty good and everyone benefits. The problem is Socialism is a talking point and youth is now more acquainted with the blends of socialism and capitalism in democracies. They have to wait for boomers to die off.
