To believe that would be a fatal mistake, I think. The plotters and schemers who generate liberal/progressive Big Lies know very well what they're doing. Their "cognitive dissonance" followers, like the sheeple who believe Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her back porch, are the ones you're talking about. Of course that may wrongly assume they actually possess a cognitive function.
“The Democrats big lie is that theyre Democrats. Theyre Socialists who have overtaken the DNC.”
True. A bigger lie is that they’re on the side of the downtrodden and want to lift them up. That is a very effective cover (bait) covering the hook of tyranny waiting to snag them all.
Wait until they see how big a boot of oppression the Demonrats will stomp them with.
I remember seeing footage of Truman and FDR being total socialist demagogues, when addressing the believers at a Democrat convention. They sounded exactly like Lenin, saying things like, "those damned millionaires," etc., etc. The Rats have always played the communist tunes, note for note. They just had to keep the noise level down or their party would be busted up by the right.
Now, however, they can play with the volume turned full up.
The most brilliant quote is by O'Rourke: "Liberalism is just communism sold by-the-drink."
You can get Jack and Coke at a bar, one at a time, or, you can buy a bottle of each and do the same thing at home.
Likewise there is no difference between the collectivism we call liberalism today, and hard core communism.They just have to package it differently, here and now, as they are accumulating power.
As they accumulate power, they are less shy about being identified as Socialists. Check out this story about the DSA's Congressional Caucus:

Later will come the weapons seizures, the round-ups, show trials, death camps, mass graves...that's all in their plans. They are not emboldened enough yet to do them, but, in time they will be.
Very important to realize this, as hard a reality as it is.
This is a fantastic description of what the DNC really is. You have a wonderful writing style. I read that piece on the DSA a while back, very informative. Thanks for that response.
And relabeled as Progressivism.
