They did indeed but I have noticed this shift where some commentators actually espouse socialist ideas and call themselves socialist when I remember a time where if you said you were a socialist you were labelled a communist and a traitor and an enemy of the state. So I think the political spectrum has really broadened and the gap between Democrats and Republicans was as thin as a cigarette paper at a party level.
In the beginning of Obama's push for state provided medical care (now Obama care), there were red necks saying "imagine not having a choice of which doctor you saw, that's a form of communism we don't want communism" !
This when countered with: surely, getting to see a doctor free of charge instead of no doctor is better? No, still communism in their eyes. That disconnect is still prevalent though.

Sent back to the mental wing of the apiary would be a much better use of resources.

I am not sure an American version of Socialist is the same as other countries. In Republican eyes even a Social Democrat is just a Commie.
