Or maybe it's just that people are still very averse to opening a haggle at a compromise position (like the 44th president did), only to end up with a system that is significantly right-of-center.

Oh ffs. I said "if you don't like communism...," you replied that nobody disagrees with that, & now we're somehow on McCarthyism. I think communism is a bad idea. I think some people disagree, because they've explicitly said so. By no means would I want to persecute them for it.
I'm alarmed by what sure looks to me like the increasing memetic success of communism in American culture. I'm alarmed by the emergence of a popular DSA presidential candidate. I would be *more alarmed* by any push for political suppression as a response

> "I would be *more alarmed* by any push for political suppression as a response" Glad to hear it! I only wanted to note that the fear of communism does have a history of spiraling out of control. I feel like a lot of the fear comes from missing data.
