I am a conservative socialist, but not "socialist" in the meaning that most Americans believe the word has.

Socialism was first created as an idea by anarchists and libertarians. I am neither of these, but I am certainly not anywhere near to communism which is what Americans believe "socialism" means.

It actually only means ways to prevent the fat cats like Biff Jazos, Gill Bates and the sucker of bergs to name only these, from robbing the whole of society blind under the cover of "private enterprise profits".

I the people like you rare in the US? Are there any influencers who fall in this camp?

I don't think so, because the whole English-speaking world has been the object of a vast psyop brainwashing campaign to make them believe that Canbot's definition is THE definition of socialism, so they can't think the entire spectrum of socioeconomic thought and from there, are made very easy to control. It's working extremely well.

And the kicker is, they think their using that definition makes them good Americans or good capitalists, when in fact that definition is a lie perpetrated by none other than Karl Marx, with the goal of twisting ideas around so much that communism would be seen as the natural extension of that "socialism" when in fact it is directly opposed to it.

I am from Québec by the way. Let me guess: you are not from an English-speaking country and therefore have not been contaminated by that brainwashing.
