A political ideology advocating a transition to a socially owned economy through democratic means. Democratic socialism is not to be confused with social democracy (an ideology that advocates for a mixed economy and a welfare state, while retaining the structure of capitalism).
Notable advocates of Democratic socialism include Clement Attlee, Jeremy Corbyn, Eugene V. Debs, Albert Einstein, and Martin Luther King Jr.

A NASCAR Democratic, also known as a White Trash Democrat, is a White person who has conservative values and preferences, but vocally criticizes Republicans because of their low socioeconomic status.
I keep seeing NASCAR Democrats posting Facebook stories at Walmart about how Trump is raising the price of eggs.

The full quote is:
"God is not a Republican, but the Devil is a Democrat."
If you think that this is one of the stupidest things you've ever heard, even if "Republican" and "Democrat" were to be transposed, good job - you're a normal person.

see also; champagne socialist, oxymoron, left wing populism
democratic socialist; somebody who is a left wing populist.
if you don't want to read all of this, here's your definition in simple terms; a childlike, imaginary world of how society should work.
a person, usually of upper middle class or upper class who subscribes to the idea of a classless society in which all are equal. in other words, they wish establish a welfare state. these people typically discuss a "revolution" with such cult-like behavior, that you could easily compare it to christians awaiting the rapture.
the majority of democratic socialists support Palestine, Ukraine, and the Scandinavian welfare model.
prominent (D)emocratic socialists include Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Hasan Piker, etc.
the use of the word "democratic" means the interests of the Democratic Party (USA), and has always meant that. socialism inherently involves interventionism (soft term for authoritarianism), so the use of democratic is to simply attract more supporters, usually liberals who keep lying to themselves that they're not authoritarian.
oh, and don't EVEN get me started on that dumbfuck Hasan.
tl;dr, socialists who want to pretend to be libertarian.
