Notice how conservatives always skillfully invert liberal discourse. Now everyone is worried about “normalizing” socialism as opposed to racism, sexism, Nazism etc.

Conservatives own the liberals by owning their discourse and in no time at all liberals will be apeing them, wringing their hands and clutching their pearls over “normalizing” things like working public infrastructure.

As a rule liberals tend to hate socialists a whole lot more than conservatives (and, in practice, Nazis).
