After the 2024 election, there was a vast right-wing clamoring for an inevitable realignment favoring conservatives. Political gravity would force the pendulum of political history to the right, the liberal media would be shamed into something resembling unbiased fairness, and woke policies would shrivel and die on the vine. The results of the November 4 elections make it clear that the demise of the progressive-liberal nexus is greatly exaggerated.
Democrats, socialists, and liberals of all stripes enjoyed good election results, but it would be a mistake to read this as anything more than a normal off-year election. Since 2000, the party that won the presidential election the previous year lost the gubernatorial election in Virginia and New Jersey. The only exception is the 2021 New Jersey gubernatorial election, which the Democrat incumbent won after Biden’s victory.
There is evidence of a political realignment, but the realignment favors the far left.
Gallup has been taking an interesting poll since 2010 that evaluates Americans’ perception of capitalism and socialism. A positive perception of capitalism among Americans has slipped 7% since 2010 from 61% to 54% while a positive perception of socialism has improved slightly from 36% to 39%. If you look deeper into the poll, you can see evidence of a realignment within the Democrat party.
[Poll results don't post properly]
In 2010, Democrats were evenly split, 51-50%, in their perception of both systems. In 2025, 66% of Democrats liked socialism, up 16% from 2010, whereas 42% viewed capitalism positively, down 9%. This isn’t shocking news in view of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.
The socialist realignment of the Democrat party has reached critical mass. Mr. Mamdani represents this realignment. He stands shoulder to shoulder with Bernie Sanders, AOC, and other socialists in Congress and scattered around various states.

So some support a socialist government and a capitalist economy? That makes them fascists. The democratic party is an alliance of communists and fascists...
More to the point, we do not teach the benefits of free enterprise.
Not only Mad Mamdani of NYC, but Wu of Boston, the crazed guy who is now the mayor of Minneapolis, the barista of Seattle - all among other communists taking over US cities.
I agree. The public school system is the key to turning out generation after generation of little socialist bots.
1000% correct. Until the K-12 marxist teacher system is radically reformed, it will only get worse. I'm so disappointed we allow this.
Agree. Why abandon something that has worked so well?
I have read “The River War” and most of what he wrote. Great quote.
the only good one is a dead one. See comments of Rafal Ganowicz.
SLAY THE DRAGON...BEFORE IT SLAYS US!
It takes a lot of work for the Deep State/Intelligence Community to sustain their deniability of obvious evidence of government misdeeds, both Federal & state, during the past 17 years. The FBI, the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, EPA, FCC, USDA, Department of Energy, Department of State, even the Federal judiciary — all of these agencies put enormous effort into their claims of deniability over every thing under their purview, ever since Inauguration of Barack Obama.
Nobody could possibly be so abysmally stupid & ignorant of what they are charged with knowing & taking action on. Recent revelations about the so-called pipe bomber of January 5, 2021, suggesting she was a known Capitol Police officer who is now safely snuggled into the CIA, have remained deeply buried in the bowels of the FBI and CIA since spring 2021.
Weaponized FISA Court corruption & violation of the law was allowed to grow beyond belief & destroy all credibility of the Federal judiciary, & absolutely nothing has been done to clean it up [that I have seen]. Election integrity issues since 2020 are obvious in a dozen states. The blatant criminality of the Obama DOJ under Criminal General Eric Holder have been denied at great effort for all these years.
The entire January 6 fiasco has been hidden & obstructed continuously since the Biden Department of Justice & the Democrat Congressional committee began destroying citizens’ lives over “offenses” which had no factual or legal basis. With crucial evidence now destroyed, nobody knows nothin’ about nothin’.
Anybody who has expectations that these Deep State/Intelligence Community agencies will suddenly come clean, now that President Trump has appointed his cabinet officers, is in a dream world. The Leviathan is just too big, too deep, too powerful, too entrenched, too resistant to outside forces, ever to be reformed from the outside. There is a century’s worth of corruption, deceit, criminal behavior, & guilt that can probably never be unearthed.
Slay the dragon, or live with him forever.

Perhaps the best way to end communism in the US is for people to actually experience it first hand. As long as people still have the ability to leave communist states and cities let the communists take control. Communism as always will quickly fail to deliver on the promised utopia and turn these cities and states into third world dung heaps. Communism can only succeed long term by becoming police states and preventing people from leaving. There are plenty of examples…the Berlin Wall and armed borders that kept people from leaving communist countries in Eastern Europe, Cuba where leaving means a 90 mile trip on open ocean in make shift rafts and boats, North Korea where leaving means the gulag for your left behind family.
