Socialism never took root in America because people who tried to organize got shot.

Yes, Trump rhetoric is anti-elitist, anti-liberal ultra-nationalist targeted at an empoverished working class. Exactly like national-socialism. And exactly like national-socialism, it's profiting off the contradictions of liberals who pretend to be progressive while upholding inequalities.

Russian leadership (fascists) is acting in a way that is constantly and actively pursuing war*

If Russia is not a democracy, then people cannot be held responsible for the action of their government. No more then in Dresden or Hiroshima. Especially when Westerners (us, who supposedly, them, pick our leaders) are not held responsible for the atrocities committed by their government. Where are the sanctions for the Iraqi war?

Honestly, it looks like they are preparing the average joe's mind for carpet bombing. Jingoism on all side.

I do understand (and I am sure you mean well, not attacking you as a person). But the confusion isn't just a detail here, it's inherent to what you're saying. Look up what happened in Berlin in 1933, for example. Liberal conciliating attitude paved the way to nazism.

Liberals always have been pro-war. It's good for business.

In 1830, a slave revolt in the US saw the slaves committing atrocities, rape and murder, calling to "kill all the white". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat_Turner%27s_slave_rebellion

Does that mean we're pro-slavery?

Well, the said liberals have defunded schools, hospitals, trains, retirement and anyknd of welfare here in the name of "being opened to new ideas", so it's a bit more than semantics. Sorry, I don't want to be associated with liberalism.

Liberal bourgeois are a significant political force since the French revolution - and always opposed people. It is and always was about the freedom of industry barrons and nothing else.

What's the idea behind this meme? That Russia is against tap-water or that Russia is a third-world shithole?

Because if the later, it reeks of western-white-colonialist supremacy. Blue countries have better infrastructure because they are colonial powers.

Oh and I absolutely drank water in Bulgaria. This is factually false.

Meanwhile, placing the US in the "drinkable country" where this happens is laughable:
