I think the "disconnect" is that they have no idea what socialism really is.
Probably. I know I get stared at like I've just committed some sort of horrendous crime when I tell people that I'm a registered Democrat but my political views tend to lean towards socialism. I'm not sure what they think that means, but it's definitely not "free healthcare and education and excellent social welfare programs, here, let me show you Scandinavia as an example".

I have had multiple people ask me why I worked, since I claim to lean toward socialism. I think they think if you believe in socialism, it means that you want "something for nothing" and are lazy and just want to lay around and have everything given to you.
lay around and have everything given to you.
To be fair, I do want this. But as a lifestyle, not a political system.
I also love the Pallas Cats. They're fluffy!
I am laid out. And the pharmacy is balking at giving me my pain meds. I'd like enough so that I could be cogent for the call in half an hour, but I can barely sit up. Little chance of getting them by then.
