All agreed ?

If Bill Clinton was running for office today he’d be viewed as “far right “ by Dems today .

And you somehow think the Republican party still looks like it did just a few years ago ?

OP, you need to look up the definition of Socialism. Good luck!
I note you provided zero evidence of this. Only one of the segregationist SEnators switched to the GOP.

What are the racist polices that would bring white racists en bloc over to the Republican party?

At one time, I WAS a Republican, so there. I lost respect for them when Obama was elected and they vowed to make his term a living Hell. Then, I lost total respect for them when they became sheep and accepted Donald Trump and folded because they thought more of keeping their jobs than doing what they were hired to do for Americans.

So there are no Republicans participating in Social Security, Medicare, or insurance of any kind. Amazing.

Even our federal taxes can be considered socialism. Do all the states pay in and take out about the same amount, or are is there a redistribution of wealth by state?

Sounds like socialism to me.

You lost respect for Republicans b/c they were not socialists but you were one. Do you really expect people to buy that.

So people are sheep if they don't vote your way.

I don't see what Trump done that isn't in the mainstream of the Republican party for decades. Cut taxes and regulations, etc.

You keep trying to make Trump the Other but you don't elaborate how that is.

We are forced to pay into social security.....

i don't understand how buying insurance on the free market is socialism.

your party's attempt to have government take over the insurance market and healthcare is socialism.

Actually they are more the organized crime syndicate party whose only function is to funnel funds from the treasury upwards and to push the trickle down pigeon poop downwards.

Ponzi Insecurity and Mediscare are without a doubt socialist wealth redistribution programs. They're outright theft--just like all taxes.
