Any black person or latino who voted for Socialism
Democrat are the party of Social Security
Republicans believe Social Security is Socialism
How can Social Security be socialism when we pay into it every single paycheck for our entire lives?
Good question.
No its not. Its an obvious question. SS isnt socialism.
"When Social Security was enacted under a Democratic president in 1935, many Republicans vehemently opposed it as "socialism." In that same legislation, state unemployment compensation programs were mandated; again, Republican opponents called that socialism.
A few years before Medicare was enacted in 1965 under a Democratic administration, then-actor Ronald Reagan made a recording in which he warned the nation of the horrors of socialism that would befall us under Medicare. Listen to that scary recording on YouTube; it seems laughable today."

A few guys once said something? Who cares? Why are you putting so much significance on their views??
It's been a common theme for them and more than just a few have said it. There is no reason to think the Republicans have ever changed that strategy. Look what they are saying about Biden, the Socialist! My entire life. Carter the Socialist. Clinton the Socialist. Obama the Socialist.
Obama phones IS socialism. Acting like the left doesnt flirt with socialism is dishonest and pointless.
Nope, still not socialism.
"Whichever group of strategists was responsible for coining the phrase “Obamacare” liked the word so much that they’re attempting to retitle LifeLine (which subsidizes phone service for low-income households) as “Obamaphone.” “Obamaphone” is described as another nefarious socialist plan created by President Obama – in this case, to give free cell phones to low-income voters in a nefarious plot to trade
cell phones for votes. There are a few things I’d like to clear up about this latest plot to destroy America:
- The “Obamaphone” program, correctly known as LifeLine, is a federal program that provides low-income households with a ratepayer-funded subsidy to reduce the cost of phone service. As a result, folks who couldn’t otherwise afford phone service — typically elderly, individuals with disabilities, and people of color — have access to basic telephone service. It’s existed for decades because the telephone is a necessity of modern life.
- The LifeLine program was expanded to include wireless providers during George W. Bush’s presidency.
- The
Obamaphone GeorgeWBushphone program was created under Ronald Reagan.
- The
Obamaphone GeorgeWBushPhone Reaganphone program doesn’t provide extra money to pay for cell phones. Some wireless companies include free cell phones in their LifeLine service offerings, but they receive the same basic LifeLine subsidy as everyone else. And for what it’s worth, those free phones are the only slightly better than this blast from the past.
