Yes, some certainly are. Some everyday Americans fear it, but the wealthy and politicians are very afraid of it.
Americans are brainwashed to believe having a few socialistic tendencies added to our economy would make our nation full-on socialist or even communist. They fail to realize that many developed nations in the world are social democracies (or at the very least closer to that than America is).
More than half of Americans support Medicare for All, Tuition-Free College, Higher Minimum Wage, Taxing the Rich higher but when you say that those have slight socialist tendencies they freak out. It's not the ideas that are unpopular, it's the association with socialism. I'm a social democrat who wants America to become a social democracy. It may happen in my lifetime, but it's gonna be a heck of a struggle.
