The same Americans who embraced the cutsie socialism of the No Kings protests are completely ignorant about actual socialism.
As Bill Maher once laid bare, “For Millennials, the word socialism doesn’t conjure up images of Stalin and Castro, it conjures up images of naked Danish people on a month-long paid vacation…it’s not such a jarring proposition when socialism comes along and says you are entitled to free stuff.”
That casual humor hides a grave reality: a growing portion of Democrats embrace an ideology they do not truly understand, mistaking state control and economic tyranny for harmless perks. This misunderstanding has transformed socialism into a seductive fantasy rather than the system of central planning and bureaucratic dominance it actually is, and the implications for America are profound, multi-generational, and deeply worrisome.
The recent “No Kings” rallies underscore the danger of this ideological drift. The Communist Party USA openly co-sponsored the protest, aligning with other groups to oppose President Donald Trump. In New York, the CPUSA’s hammer-and-sickle insignia was featured on official “No Kings” literature. That’s a brazen signal of how far-leftism is being mainstreamed under the guise of righteous protest.
Prominent Democrats like Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democrat Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar, and Senator Cory Booker marched. Indeed, “No Kings” was broadly supported by Democrats at all levels of government, activism, and media.
For many Americans, the rallies were more than a spectacle—they were a revelation. What the left presents as “resistance” is, in reality, a Trojan horse for subversive forces bent on undermining capitalism and personal liberty. This is not abstract theory. Polling confirms a seismic shift within the Democrat base: a Gallup survey shows 66% now view socialism positively, outstripping the 42% who support the capitalist principles that have generated American prosperity.

This is who the democRATs are.
If they love their tiny tyrannies, they’ll really love the TOTALITARIAN TYRANNY of Islam. It supersedes all the rest.
Remember what happened to the “king” (czar) in Russia last time the commies said “no kings”.
Liberals want Obama to be a king, not a president

The domestc communists have tried, somewhat successfully, to disquise themselves by wrapping themselves up in the putrid rags of the old, dead RAT party. Trump has pulled the disquise off, and what we’re seeing ain’t pretty. These godless basstids are vehemently trying to destroy the USA by any means at their disposal. They’re the outright enemy of America and should be treated as such.
“This is who the democRATs are.”

Yet, people still vote for the scum!
On a humorous note, it’s an affront to the Sacramento Kings basketball team.
At this point they are mere hangers on to the Democratic Party.
So the significance of the co-sponsorship is ... they are Democrats.
That is the "enemy power" they represent.
