My dates get really stoked when we trash maga chud trumpers, but when I whip out my "Obama is a war criminal" or "we should install communism" routines, it def kills the mood

In the book "How the left can win" theres a good bit of the book where (and I'm heavily paraphrasing) the author talks about how in the US ideology and vocabulary is formed through connections to institutions and in order to converse with people you have to meet them on their level to get anywhere.
Which I think is great advice. If someone retreats at socialism/communism/etc change the wording to something they'll be more open to and chip away at those things.
"Workplace democracy" is a great example of where socialist ideals are reframed in something much more palpable to an American context.
