No use in pointing out the hypocrisy here on CD. Here is the type of persons you are dealing with.
Example:
The Johnsons son from accross the street commits a murder
Parents:
(He's animal, I knew he was no good from the time he was little. Death Penalty to the Johnson's son)

Same Parents find out that their own son help the Johnsons kid Commit the murder:
(My son is a good kid, he would never do this. The murder was justified, my son was just defending himself. My son doesn't deserve the death penalty, he's a good kid)
Same Crime was Committed, but the parents rally around their own kid, even through he was just as wrong.

In other words I’ve got my piece of socialism but you can’t have yours.

This is what I'm taking away by this thread. Is this what the OP's saying?
I made clear what I’m saying. Republicans oppose what they call socialism unless they are benefitting. Then they love it.

I think that what your idea of socialism is and what most peoples idea of socialism is are two different things.

If a taxpayer is forced to give someone else money, according to Trump supporters, that is socialism. Which is exactly what taxpayers are having to do with farmers, coal miners and Appalachia.

Lawmakers will use taxpayer money to fill a roughly $10 billion hole in the miners’ doomed fund. But more plans face the same problems.

Starting next year, the Treasury’s transfers to the Abandoned Mine Lands fund will rise to a maximum $750 million a year, and will help pay for pensions as well as retiree health care. This may prompt other unions to seek federal assistance for their plans, too.

And it doesn't end there. The top five states on Disability are in the South including West Virginia (15%!) Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas.

When do Trump supporters apply their opposition to socialism to themselves?
by the same token, the hijacked democrat party supports soviet style communism.


spy on journalists by falsifying warrants


restrict books, words, phrases


lose job if not inline with social justice unwritten rules, use of wrong words and phrases, departing from democrat ideology such as climate change


false charges of racism and treason by democrats and promoted by mainstream media which acts as an official propaganda machine


use of character assassination and rumors to sway public opinion

Absolutely true, +1. Trumpism is "Socialism for the Rich, Capitalism for the Poor." In Trump's world, the wealthy are given preferential treatment for government assistance in the form of direct payments, tax shelters or market protection. The middle class on down are expected to support themselves with no assistance at all. Trump and McConnell would destroy the safety net, Soc Sec, Obamacare and Medicare if they could.

The Trump tax cuts are huge tax subsidies for the rich financed by treasury bonds, as explained here.

With that definition then all taxes are socialism.
Could you show where ALL Trump supporters use that definition? Thank you.

Look up "hypocrites" in the dictionary. Trump supporters are right there.


Just like this impeachment, if this was a Democrat, they would be all over it.

I bet Trump and Republicans are planning on making up for their socialism by cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid after the 2020 election. Cut funding for education, too. Why trust them when most of them are so rich that they no need help from the above government programs.
