Why does America fear socialism when the three greatest US presidents were all socialist?

Scholars rate Franklin D. Roosevelt, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as the three greatest US presidents.

Research shows that all three would be considered socialists in the modern political climate, so why does America fear socialism when the three greatest US presidents were all socialist leading to some of the greatest periods in US history.

Whereas the likes of Hebert Hoover [The Great Depression], Dwight D. Eisenhower [Korean War], Richard Nixon [Watergate scandal], Gerald Ford [Recession], Ronald Reagan [Red Scare promoter/School Prayer/Air traffic controllers' strike/Trickle down economics/War on Drugs/ largely ignored the AIDS crisis] and George W. Bush [Recession/War for Oil] were all presidents during the lowest points in US history.

Added (1). You know Albert Einstein, Einstein was a socialist. One of the most important/intelligent figures was a socialist, ask yourself why.

FDR made the Depression WORSE with his programs. That's one good reason. Only the war got us out of it. He was also a huge racist. He sent a boatload of Jews back to their deaths.

What research shows that George Washington would be a socialist today?

3 greatest maybe 3 famousest

It's very simple, the wealthy elites own the media and don't want to part with their money so they spread anti-socialist propaganda which the less intelligent fall for

LOL and that is why America hates democrats,… Thanks

How about:

Mexican - American War - 1842 - James K. Polk (D)

World War I - 1914 - Woodrow Wilson (D)

World War II - 1938 - Franklin Roosevelt (D) and Harry S. Truman (D)

Escalation of the Vietnam Conflict into a full fledged war - John F. Kennedy (D), Lyndon Johnson (D)

As for recessions, Congress owns them, so let's see who was in control during some recessions…

1973-1975: Democrat Congress.

1981-1982: Democrat Congress

1990-1991: Democrat Congress

2001: Liberal "Bi-Partisan" Republican (Democrat Lite) Congress

2008: Democrat Congress

Stop pointing fingers unless your nails are clean, lefty.

Democratic socialism is required, in order to have democracy, otherwise it's plutonomy, the rich buying their way into power. Corruption flourishes in a unregulated capitalist system, and it's not good, the US is not happy, compared to all the other first world countries, which are more socialist. The word itself probably will never be popular in America, due to the cold war brainwashing, but the actuality of the other Western countries, the happiest European countries, is they are, more socialist than the USA, and happier.
