I’d think at some point politicians are going to capitalize on this sentiment by proposing their own kind of socialism that fits for Americans. It might not be actual socialism under the hood, but the important thing will be that it’s America-first at its core, like explicitly nationalist.
I kind of wonder if this idea has been tried before. I’m a bit surprised none our politicians have suggested this yet, but that would make some sense if this has been tried elsewhere and they want to be innovative rather than rehashing old ideas.
I’d think it is far more likely that any politician in the US proposing something like that would push for something that “isn’t capitalism and isn’t communism, but a new third way.”
I know it’s defeatist, I know it’s counterproductive, but I have privately maintained for years that the only socialism America will accept is “National Socialism”

You’re right of course, I was just trying to be snarky about repackaging national socialism.
The problem with “socialism with American characteristics” is that American characteristics are just
Isn’t that just the standard Social Democracy/Bernie Sanders/Nordic Model shit that’s fooled like 80% of the zoomers
The line of thinking that that would work is probably a motivating factor for the ACP’s patsoc bullshit
