Oh absolutely. The idea that you're a socialist simply because you see the obvious flaws of LFC... is absurd. It doesn't make you a socialist, it just makes you a reasonable, sensible person.
Trump has ways that he can still communicate with his followers (or, you know, the country as a whole for a change...) He can post a video to the white house youtube channel, he can use the whitehouse.gov website, he can phone in to Fox & Fiends, etc... he has hardly been silenced...
