The Tea Party was pushing on an open door. Democrats and Republicans alike were enthusiastically in favor of slashing SS/Medicare, gutting education and housing development, privatizing prisons, and cutting taxes.

The DSA will have an uphill battle. Everything they're asking for in the US is Haram under the current socio-economic order.
