When FDR was President, someone asked a Socialist (Norman Thomas?) if FDR had carried the Socialist agenda. The Socialist replied, "Yes, on a stretcher."
The New Deal and the Great Society were deals with the poor and working class to avoid their drift into Socialism. They were a Halfway Covenant to prevent the appeal of the Radical Left.
But once those programs - the ones that provide a meager hope for a decent life - are stripped away and all you are left with is despair, poverty and the filthy rich, then you will get civil unrest. You got it in the 1930s and 1960s. And you will get it again.
The Right and the Rich had better be careful for what they wish for.
