I am curious as to how Democrats, Republicans and independents are going to respond to getting a stimulus check from the government which is a form of socialism, regardless of the circumstances.

Wrong !!!
A temporary response to a national emergency is nationalism, not socialism !!!
There is no social ownership of the means of production or workers' self-management producing a stimulus check !!!
Its no more socialism than throwing a drowning person a life preserver is !!! Now if you want to throw the drowning person a factory building full of union workers you would be on to something but it would act more like an anchor and help the person drown faster !!!
For those receiving funds, I have an interesting question for them. What will you be spending it on? Food, rent/mortgage, credit card bills, car payment, booze, dope, etc?
The stimulus check represents lowering the tribute fee called federal taxes, for me, by less than 2%. So instead of taking 30 cents of every dollar I earn, for this year, they'll end up taking 28.5 cents. That isn't socialism, it's me being raped a little more gently.
And eventually it will get spent on whatever my wife I think matters at that moment. For the short term, it's going into savings to prepare for the even worse economy to come.

I can go for that!

sorry but a stimulus/emergency check when people are forced out of work do to a natural disaster (pandemic, hurricane, tornado, etc) is not socialism
