OPINION:
Democrats Socialists of America members, fresh off a few primary wins, have been out and about and crowing over their newfound influence, chanting in bars about House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and vowing that he’s “next” on their political hit list. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, meanwhile, went on ABC and said, “I think a democratic socialist can get elected anywhere across this country for any position” — including president of the United States. DSA Co-chair Ashik Siddique said similarly in The Hill: “We want people to be talking proactively about what they would want to see in a presidential campaign.”
Socialists are such a scourge. It’s impossible to be a socialist without also being a liar. It’s also impossible to be a socialist without being a communist-loving, Marxist-embracing, collectivist-worshipping tool of the devil.
Democrats have been lying to the American people about their devilish designs to destroy the Constitution since Barack Obama days, when ye olde pen and phone president openly derided the congressional way and openly dismissed law and order and openly set America as the responsible party for all the world’s ills.
First came the promise to change the foundations of the nation. Then came the apology tour. Then came the eight years of steady, determined destruction of all the foundations. Then came four years of fabricated charges to resist Donald Trump. Then came the Feckless One, also known as the Puppet President, who was played behind the scenes to advance a third term of Obama-esque destruction.
And all along, what did Democrats do? What did the leadership and the led within the Democrat Party do?
They aided and abetted.
They let the anti-America, anti-family, anti-Christian, radical, deranged, fascists of the left run roughshod through the streets, tossing their bricks and screaming about their abortion rights and whacking off their children’s body parts and kicking out police from their communities. They cheered the anti-ICE movement. They defended the antisemitic attacks on college campuses. They turned their blind eyes to crimes committed by illegal immigrants — they went out of their way to have sit-downs and cocktails with deported criminals. They hung rainbow flags from public properties; they hung the rainbow flag from the White House. They mocked all-things-Christian and bowed to all-things-sharia, even while proclaiming support of women’s rights, transgender rights, homosexual rights.
Democrats brought America the DSA because Democrats have been lying for years about their party’s walk toward socialism and communism.
Now the DSA is coming for the Democrats who won’t openly embrace communism.
That’s called: You get what you deserve.
“Jeffries avoided directly answering questions about socialist candidates and their supporters chanting that he’s ’next’ to face a primary on Thursday,” Fox News wrote of the New York Democrat.
Earlier, Jeffries responded to the same question from MS NOW’s Jen Psaki, with this: “And so, listen, I think at the end of the day, individual districts, the beauty of it, all are made up by a diverse group of people who have a diverse set of perspectives on a wide variety of issues,” he said, The Hill reported.
That’s code for “holy crap, what the bleep is happening!”
Well, what’s happening is the Democrat Party is revealing itself as what it has been for a very long time.
“Establishment Democrats are panicking as voters in their party move sharply to the left,” The Nation wrote.
Yes. Accountability does often breed panic. Longtime Democrat strategist James Carville came out, post-New York primaries, and said of the new batch of open socialists serving in the party, “Let’s negotiate a terms of a schism here. Maybe we can part under some kind of advantageous terms for both of us, but I’m done. And I’m not in that f——— political party.”
He’s leaving the party.
He’s leaving the party he helped create.
He’s leaving without accepting any sort of accountability on the lunatic fringe he allowed to become his party.
Isn’t that just like a Democrat — which is to say, isn’t that just like a socialist-communist-Marxist: liar, inside and out, from beginning to end.
