Containing Socialism at Home

As the 250th anniversary of our declaring independence from British tyranny nears, what’s affirmed is that America is preordained to be the battleground between liberty and tyranny -- whatever the stripe.

ast Tuesday, there was a Broadway premiere of sorts. In New York City, elections revealed the Democrat Party’s future. Avowed socialists won with the backing of Zohran Mamdani and dollars from leftist NGOs. There’s no spinning it. Democrat grandees aren’t even trying. Bill Maher claims he’s open to voting for J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio in 2028 if the party is captured by socialists. Whacky James Carville loudly called out his party’s leftward lurch. He’s threatening to walk if socialists take over. Start walking, James, because generational change, in part, will do to your party what President Barack Obama claimed he wanted to do to America: transform it.

Oh, and don’t forget all those migrants who helped elect socialists in New York. Democrats asked for it.

A socialist Democrat Party guarantees continued conflicts at home. As the 250th anniversary of our declaring independence from British tyranny nears, what’s affirmed is that America is preordained to be the battleground between liberty and tyranny -- whatever the stripe. Would our revolutionary generation -- let’s add Abraham Lincoln -- disagree?

At Unheard, Josh Appel wrote (June 24):

The New Democrat position was best summed up by Mamdani ally Brian Romero at a Brooklyn campaign rally: “Abolish ICE, Free Palestine and tax the motherf***ing rich!” Last night’s results are telling of the future direction of New York politics. Democrats are increasingly standing far-Left candidates that are even more radical in their beliefs and policy proposals than progressives. Given the popularity of Zohran Mamdani nationwide, it is reasonable to believe that these candidates who performed so strongly last night may be a bellwether

It is part of the eternal battle between good and evil.

“Tax the rich” this is how socialists actually contain themselves. The rich are smarter than them and America is a constitutional republic. The “rich” don’t have to accept their nonsense… they divest and move elsewhere… whether its personal wealth or the businesses they run.

Democrats have for years been importing third-world immigrants who want “free stuff”. Of course those people will vote for those promising the most free stuff.

If you lose Bill Maher and James Carville...

[neverevergiveup]

As is the (R)N(C) pro-3rd-world (that ‘cheap’ labor). 20M+ invasion during the Biden admin & we all we heard was “many of the party are pushing (the President) for Amnesty”

The (R)N(C) base is amusingly willfully blind to the Party’s sell-out.

BWAHAHAHAhahahaa. As if either would do more than talk *poop* about non-(D) voting

The blind-obedience is a faux dichotomy symptom. Just look at all the blustering from those here on FR, “If I had the chance, I’d NEVER for {X} again after they voted/pushed for {Y}...(votes for {X}, yet AGAIN, even given that there’s more than 2 choices on every ballot)”
