Do you get paid every time you use the word socialist?

The endless nonstop raging on about Trump.

Even back in the day, they weren't hidden.
I was an atheist in the 50s, & saw that
Christians wanted their religion in all things.

All you need is love.
Which you do your fair share of raging.
Regardless of how hard you try to defend yourself, I think it is clear to others (except perhaps you) that you don't have the moral high ground here.
No, just post after post berating the Democrats, complaining about or mocking Biden, and continuously ranting about what you call the nanny state.

Does he himself demand nationalisation of industries on a grand level?
He is a social democrat by his policies. And even if he were a socialist, he has no political power in that role.
How many Christian nationalists are there in the GOP? (That's not a tu quoque, just a demonstration that a minority has little political power. But unlike the socialists in the democratic party, the nationalists in the GOP are a big minority and growing.)
Psychologists recommend confrontation therapy against phobias. Maybe you should visit France or Scandinavia to learn that "socialism" isn't that bad?
Sorry, I am not playing that silly game.

Well my rants are about preserving people's freedoms and choice and that includes abortion decisions of which I don't agree with the Republicans over.
The nanny state is insidious, and a definite cancer to the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Weither mundane or significant, I will always rant over these authoritarian policies no matter what party endorses and institutes them.
Those type of people are not constutionalists nor are they your , or my friends, or at least they shouldn't be if you support any type of free world.

It's bad.
Ask any Venezuelan or person from Greece. They will tell you what socialism brings to the table first hand.
And yes there are a number of people presently in power cut from the same cloth as Sanders. He may not be a power player right now, but he certainly has influence in the political arena where it make a difference.
Vote for Mickey Mouse before that dump trump
Having too much fun, watching the court cases. Awaiting to see him in hand cuffs.
Biden's not going to hurt us like trump did.
Pence was in court yesterday testifying. I am wondering what he said about the boss that turned on him.
I doubt if anyone but Malania is getting ulcers over trump. Except perhaps the attorneys aware that trump doesn't pay his bills.

Do you think that your complaints and concerns are more valid than those of people who are concerned about Trump or complain about his words and actions? The truth is that the concerns and complaints of others are just as important to them as yours are to you. And for you to accuse them of being deranged (TDS) is rude and insulting. Not to mention that it also has a tone of arrogance on your part, in my opinion. If you don't agree with someone's personal opinion of Trump, then that's one thing, but to belittle them by accusing them of being deranged is quite another. What kind of character is that?
Why do you doubt he will be president again?

I think it's because people can take so many headaches from a leader.
Even I knew from the get-go that Trump was a catalyst for division , hence my "stick of dynamite" against a radical entrenched left-wing that I thought Trump would dislodge.
My vote got more than I bargained for.
Most, I think and hope, would now want and desire unity, the art of compromise , and are sick and tired of division that continues in the opposite direction of unity that will eventually destroy this country and way of life ending "The Great Experiment".
To a large extent, this is true, although I would also attribute the phenomenon to the politics of the Cold War and interventionism, which entailed a strong push towards patriotism and America's perceived role as the leader of the free world. While it wasn't, strictly speaking, "America First," our activist interventionism in the name of American interests conditioned and predisposed whole generations towards American exceptionalism and the quasi-nationalistic bent which is associated with Trump and MAGA.

Seems we agree on the libertarian-authoritarian axis but you are confused who is were to be found. Just a reminder how the candidates of the 2020 presidential election were distributed on the political compass:

It's true...I mean...the only socialists are Sanders and Gabbard.

"Socialist"? They are barely left of the middle.
They will never let them become presidents.
The Sorosian framework decides the Presidential democratic candidates.

Are you really? Far too often I see you opposing what are minor inconveniences at the most that are intended to slowly make the world better. For example they have found health problems involving gas stoves. Their solution? Limiting them from new homes. They are not taking away anyone's gas stoves, they are merely phasing them out. If you want a gas stove you can easily have one for the rest of your life. Most of your complaints are of that order.

My litmus test isn't a chart. It's the position involving compromise that indicates true center politics.Seems we agree on the libertarian-authoritarian axis but you are confused who is were to be found.

The thing about that, is the left is probably right.
Its unhealthy , but my argument is for people to make their own choices whether they feel it's bad or good thing.
People had survived for centuries with gas and wood stoves , and I'm sure it's not going to be that big of a deal as it was in the past. No better no worse as it always been.
Best recourse is just warn people and educate them, and then have them make their own choices for themselves. I personally grew up in the house full of wood and gas stoves , and I'm fine in that regard.
They aren't socialist though (ie, the people own the means of production).
N Korea & Cuba would be appropriate therapy.
But the results might not be what you want.
