Well, the latest election cycle is over and so is the commercial blitzkrieg that was waged. As I look back on it I noticed a common theme among the conservative ads that flooded the St. Louis area.
The big one was the 'anti socialist agenda” message, with people vowing to shoot Joe Biden's “socialist agenda”, vowing to take destructive power tools to the democrat's “socialist agenda” , vowing to burn down the liberals 'socialist agenda” and so on.
These were in the St. Louis area, but it's not unreasonable to infer that these themes played in other areas where conservatives were running smear ad blitzes.
So, since the right is going to make the 'socialist agenda” apparently the issue, it's fair to ask what the 'socialist agenda' is and what opposing it means.
First off democrats want the ultra wealthy to pay more taxes, and this is a 'socialist agenda' to the conservatives. But all research shows the majority of Americans want the wealthiest to pay more taxes.

Democrats want healthcare to be more affordable (less expensive) for most Americans. This is obviously part of the 'socialist agenda”. Again, all research shows this to be true.

Most Americans recognize that human influenced climate change has become a fairly proven fact and want action on it. Again, 'socialist agenda”.

So it seems that one could define the main key elements of what the conservatives are calling the 'socialist agenda” to be things the majority, often 2/3, of Americans want.
Therefore, it stands to reason that opposing the 'socialist agenda” is actually opposing the wishes of the clear and overwhelming majority of the American public. Or, to put it another way, opposing the 'socialist agenda' is opposing Democracy in favor of an elite minority's wishes.
I guess that's what the conservatives are saying they want.
I'd like to see some democrat ads featuring conservatives bellowing how they'll oppose the 'socialist agenda' and then a democrat explaining that the “socialist agenda” is what most Americans, not just most democrats, want and that the consevatives are basically vowing to stop the choices of the majority of American citizens
