Milton Friedman called it that 50 years ago. Nixon proposed it to Congress in 1971. I don’t think associating with Friedman and Nixon is going to help with the branding.

I would hazard to say many democrats are already convinced and that the GOP has drifted so far in the intervening years that you'll never convince it that UBI is anything but a scheme to turn the U.S. into Venezuala.
