One reason might be that USSR and ColdWar were about Communism and not Socialism.

Most Americans, don't know the difference nor do they care.

The kernel of truth here is that in the absence of a generational soviet enemy to point at, a huge amount of anticommunist (anti-Soviet) mythology has been rendered into weightless floating signifiers about 1894 Stalin Farm for anyone under a certain age, and most of what's left our modern "socialist" boogeymen, are just basic policies necessary to have a society that our ghoul overlords have now spent decades villifying. There are a lot of busy people who only pay vague attention to political theater, and for them, when they think Socialism they think about basic concrete things to be able to live.
