Actually, what would probably be required would be the complete and utter destruction of the right-wing propaganda machine; Fox news and so forth. Even good counterprogramming by itself is probably not enough. A pretty heavy lift unfortunately, but I can dream.

Everything regarding social democracy as a political movement.

As described on wikipedia:

"Social democracy is a political, social and economic philosophy within socialism. As a policy regime, it is described by academics as advocating economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal-democratic polity and a capitalist-oriented mixed economy."

Social democracy is often confused with democratic socialism which is it's own thing.
