I think Americans are SAFER leaning toward socialism. We've already seen what capitalism does. Maybe FOX doesn't understand food and water is necessary for life.

A new Gallup poll (click here) shows that 47 percent of Americans would consider voting for a socialist candidate. Gallup has been polling Americans on their voting preferences for candidates of different backgrounds since 1937, but this year was the first time they inquired about socialism.
When broken down on party lines, a socialist candidate would earn the consideration of 59 percent of Democrats, 49 percent of Independents, and only 26 percent of Republicans. Overall, socialism charted the lowest of all the backgrounds referenced in the poll. Atheist and Muslim candidates ranked second- and third-lowest among the American populace, at 58 and 60 percent respectively.
This poll comes less than two months after Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy, becoming the first self-described socialist (with at least a decent chance of winning) to do so in more than a decade....
I really think FOX doesn't get it. They don't get it because they don't want to get it. It is far easier for them to apply name calling to the poor, the working poor, lower middle class and middle class. They reward people that are in the upper middle class because they are the ones that had it right and made it work for them. Upward financial movement in the USA isn't simply hard work. If that was the case the entire southern states would be wall to wall millionaires. FOX simply doesn't want to get it. It doesn't support their world view.
