Democratic Socialists of America Triples Membership Since Trump
breitbart.com ^ | 3/13/2017 | Ben Kew

Membership in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has tripled since Donald Trump’s election in November to over 19,000 paying members, a report from the Los Angeles Times reveals.

The group, founded in 1982, is now the largest socialist organization in the United States and recently published a “Resistance Rising” strategy to combat the Trump administration.

“On November 8, voters in the United States narrowly elected an openly racist, misogynist and nativist candidate for president,” the organization’s website reads. “We must understand ‘Trumpism’ as a cross-class white nativist alliance; the median family income of the 62 percent of white voters who supported Trump was higher than that of Hillary Clinton voters and wealthier than Bernie Sanders’ primary base.”

I wonder if we could get them to sign off on this as their platform

We are Socialists, we are enemies of today’s
capitalistic economic system for the exploitation
of the economically weak, with it’s unfair salaries,
with it’s unseemly evaluation of a human being
according to wealth and property instead of
responsibility and performance, and we are all
determined to destroy this system under all conditions.

There is NO SUCH THING as a “Democratic Socialist’.

They are totalitarian fascists at heart.

“Largest socialist organization in the U.S.” topping out around 19,000...

The Democrat party has them beat by far!

Probably FBI agents. In the 50s the Communists always knew who the FBI agents were because they were the only ones who paid their dues.

I blame Bernie Sanders for normalizing Socialism and selling it to the younger generation.

That huge contingent of people who voted for Bernie is not going away.

Socialism has a firm foothold in this country.
We’re going to have a battle on our hands, folks.

Communism - a political ideology that believes in sending armed thugs to take your property and redistribute it to others.

Democratic Socialism - a political ideology that believes in holding free and fair elections so that 50.1% of the electorate can vote for armed thugs to take your property and redistribute it to others.

Oh yes, the sweet dreams of the redistributionistas taking from the rich and sharing with the poor in a utopian socialist dreamworld. That is as long as you don’t touch any of ‘their stuff’.

VitacoreVision nailed it. Bernie has made Socialism cool and respectable amongst younger people. It now has a firm foothold in our body politic.

19,000 dues paying members? That’s big news?

There are more tithe paying members in the many mega churches
around the country.

Less than 1% of the adult population. They are pretty much irrelevant, but the media tries to make it look like they are a force to be reckoned with.

The people now infesting our country are into only one thing. Me, Me, Me. FREE STUFF! Freedom and liberty have gone out of style. Government slavery is the new “next big thing.” Idiots.

Switch the race to black and you will see how racist the globalist commies are.

This is what they did in the 1960s civil rights movement. Sneaked in there and attracted many minorities to their cause. The enemy loves to take unhappy people as cannon fodder.

Yes, We need to make sure that they are called National Socialists and not Democratic Socialists.
