The Marxist Transformation of the Democrat Party
American Thinker ^ | 17 Dec, 2025 | Steve McCann

Since 1912 and the election of Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat Party has been America’s left-wing political party. Nonetheless, over the decades it has maintained tenuous ties to the basic tenets of the nation’s founding. In the 1930s, beginning with what was a de facto “cult of personality” centered around Franklin Roosevelt, the Democrat party establishment began wallowing in myopic party loyalty. It was that myopic party loyalty extended to Barack Obama together with a psychotic obsession with Donald Trump that has led to the Democrat party evolving into America’s Marxist/socialist political party and the greatest internal threat to the nation as founded in its 250-year history.

By 2020, the far-left or Marxists/socialists had cemented their grip on the party. In that election cycle the socialist wing of the Democrat party gained significant ground compared to previous elections. In 2020, per the Heartland Institute, 266 avowed socialist candidates ran under the Democrat banner for state legislative seats (200), U.S. House seats (60), and U.S. Senate seats (6). Virtually all ran in predominantly Democrat strongholds. More than ninety percent won their races. By comparison in 2018, only 86 Democrat candidates running for state and congressional seats were avowed socialists and of that number fewer than forty percent won their races.

By the summer and fall of 2025, even the legacy media was reporting about the Marxist/socialist takeover of the Democrat party and that the party is “…threatening to bring socialism into America’s mainstream via the two-party system.”

That outcome became inevitable in 2008 when the party went on a blind date with someone they did not know and made no effort to find out about and was responsible for Donald Trump seeking the presidency in 2016.

In 2008, Barack Obama, playing on his skin color, ability to deliver a speech, and a

Andrew Jackson was definitely a cult of personality.

There were irregularities regarding his marriage, and his wife conveniently died shortly before he took the oath of office. What would forensics reveal today?

Democrat party has learned many lessons form the communists propganda speeches teaching how to bumb down people for the agenda.

Their golden goal is Biden & Co. and plan to get it back and it’s media approved.

“Most GOPeers are not looking out for YOU.”

How many Democrats are looking out for me?

Cornyn needs to be retired.

It’s obvious that it’s best if he were to voluntarily ride off into the sunset with Ditch.

“Cornyn needs to be retired. It’s obvious that it’s best if he were to voluntarily ride off into the sunset with Ditch.”

That’s fine, but the idea of conservatives not voting for him, and thereby letting Jasmine Crockett win, because he’s not ‘pure’ enough simply SICKENS me.

Perhaps the difference is that I have kids and and grandkids and thus don’t want to see my country STOLEN from them.

Cornyn needs to read the tea leaves and give it up.

Not doing so is a clear indication of his assistant ‘Rat proclivities.

He clearly, to me anyway, is not at all about restoring America. Show him the door.

It’s possible that Texas is changing and that certainly GOPeers are not going to stem the tide.

Sad, but perhaps true.

Cornyn is NOT about edumacating the electorate to save their God given rights.

He’s become a mere speed bump.
