at least faux news took the effort of separating communism and socialism, as they often use those terms as they mean the same

"They don't want to work! They just want to be lazy!" Proceeds to watch 14 hours of fox news while occasionally napping on the couch.
Oh my God, we've finally yelled at Americans on the internet enough that after A H U N D R E D F U C K I N G Y E A R S conservatives are vaguely aware that there's some linguistic difference!
It does work, guys!
They get confused because they're so used to conflating capitalism with fascism, because that's what they want fascism but call it capitalism to make it more palatable. Fortunately they're utterly shit at selling the idea.
Last year there was the national conservatives conference, attended by right wing nut cases the world over, and it was like attending in 1920s Nazi rally. That's not hyperbole, it was literally like that, the same fat idiots vaguely wondering around without a clue what they were espousing, interspersed with the occasional bright spark who was actually pushing it all.
I thought "tankie" was the new "commie" but maybe that's just for DNC true believers because calling people with even the slightest leftwing ideas or who are skeptical of the political propaganda from the US a "Communist", is too obvious Red Scare-style Propaganda and unlike the fans of the outright Fascist party, the fans of the Fascism-adjacent party actually care about keeping up appearances.
Plus, this is simply a poll of "what's your favorability of the word we use to say something is when we don't we don't like the thing?"
