What the heck does anyone think socialists are?

How many examples do we need to reference?

Just like qanon followers are a cult. You can prove it but they won’t listen.

There are only two things democrats crave: Power and the perks that come with that power.

I think it’s possible to expose them as anti-Christian, anti-God, Christo-phobic, anti-Constitution, anti-American, anti-hardworking American, anti-masculine, pro-muslim, pro-marxist, pro-babykillers, to name a few.

The Social Justice college programs definitely meet the criteria. YouTuber Sargon of Akkad, a British liberal, has made that correlation.

The DNC is a Criminal Enterprise that is morphing into a death cult.

They completely manipulate and control the willfully ignorant weak minded people through emotion. Never mind facts and logic.

You assume wrongly that they care about being exposed. The left is getting so evil, they are now open about their evil.

I can’t figure out how it’s possible that there is anyone out there that can’t see it!

Is it possible that people don’t understand that both parties are a threat to our Constitution?

Until we remove the Bush League Republicans from office they will keep working to keep the borders open and the laws unenforced.
Once they have amnestied 30 million new Democrat voters all of these questions will be answered.

They’re going to prop up the teens in Florida to run and they could win.

No. Unfortunately, being harassed by sophists is part of the human condition. You can, and must, be a philosopher to combat sophistry:q
sophist
1542, earlier sophister (c.1380), from L. sophista, sophistes, from Gk. sophistes, from sophizesthai "to become wise or learned," from sophos "wise, clever," of unknown origin. Gk. sophistes came to mean "one who gives intellectual instruction for pay," and, contrasted with "philosopher," it became a term of contempt. Ancient sophists were famous for their clever, specious arguments.
philosopher
O.E. philosophe, from L. philosophus, from Gk. philosophos "philosopher," lit. "lover of wisdom," from philos "loving" + sophos "wise, a sage."

"Pythagoras was the first who called himself philosophos, instead of sophos, 'wise man,' since this latter term was suggestive of immodesty." [Klein]

IMHO socialism is best defined as “cynicism directed at society, with concomitant naive faith in government.”
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness POSITIVELY by uniting our affections, the latter NEGATIVELY by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher.

Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil . . . - Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776)

Although we need, we require, freedom of the press, wire service journalism is fundamentally flawed, in ways that inherently produce socialist propaganda. The wire services, and especially the AP, homogenize journalism and eliminate ideological diversity from it (I distinguish between news and editorial posture. I am speaking not about frank opinion such as editorials and op-eds, but of the implications planted in commercially sustainable general circulation journalism). This is true because  
People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. It is impossible indeed to prevent such meetings, by any law which either could be executed, or would be consistent with liberty and justice. But though the law cannot hinder people of the same trade from sometimes assembling together, it ought to do nothing to facilitate such assemblies; much less to render them necessary. - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations
Every journalist learns in Journalism 101 that bad news sells, and that is what you get in journalism. The two kinds of bad news are
  1. news which embarrasses the people and institutions upon which society depends, and

  2. news which suggests that government isn’t doing enough to correct/prevent (1).

Clearly that kind of journalism promotes cynicism towards society and faith in government. And, thus, socialist ideology.

So, as I suggested earlier, journalism will always project socialist ideology as not being an ideology - and this is sophistry. You have to combat it with humility - admitting that in fact you do have an ideology and showing that the sophists are tendentious in claiming that they do not.

The Democratic Party and the Communist Party USA are one and the same.

I don’t see why lawfare wouldn’t work against them they’re all such bloody grafters. It would be hard given the bias of the courts, but you could probably find many many cases to file..

First thing you've got to do, is stop calling them the 'Democratic Party'.

It's Democrat...

Democrat party.
