This can happen to anyone. Why is there no widespread concern or consternation about what the 1998 movie ‘enemy of the state’ predicted to happen?

It's more accurate to get your worldview from actual history than Hollywood movies.

The problem as I see it is that Americans define socialists as "anyone that is not MAGA". A lot thanks to a successful campaign by the orange man.

Socialism as in Soviet, East Europe and 20th century China was most things bad. Including racists and whatever.

Socialists as you define them are mostly just like a big chunk of regular europeans.
