How to Beat Back the Democratic Socialists
American Thinker ^ | 6 Jul, 2026 | Linda R. Killian

Posted on 07/06/2026 6:49:28 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Communist radicals are mobilizing to sweep elections in 2028. Here’s what Republicans need to do to save the country.

New York City’s Democrat primary results set off a political fuse that is causing explosions across Democrat, federal, state, and local power structures. The victorious Democratic Socialists of America smoked two congressional incumbents, ended the political careers of Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries, and set up the DSA as the kingmaker in the 2028 presidential primaries.

Why did the far left of the Democrat party, represented by the DSA, suddenly amplify its rhetoric from universal health care, oligarchy, and affordability to an intense onslaught against America, Judaism, Israel, and capitalism? And in doing so, mount a challenge to the Democrat establishment?

The answer is Election 2028. Democrat leadership shut out the young, radical generation for two decades. Their voters haven’t had a choice for a president since 2008, when Barack Obama was the left’s lightbringer. Then the Democrat leadership connived to steal the 2016 and 2020 presidential nominations from socialist Bernie Sanders.

With political strength in America’s largest cities — New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles — it’s tempting to write off the primary results as an urban problem. The truth is, the DSA members hold over 250 elected offices nationwide.

The DSA and its allies have been training for a power-grab for a decade. In 2018, it auditioned Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her unexpected primary victory over a longtime congressional fixture. During 2020’s George Floyd “summer of love” primary, a middle school principal of a failing Bronx charter school by the name of Jamaal Bowman beat New York congressman Eliot Engle, then the chairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee and an ardent supporter of Israel.

One of the biggest problems is what is missing from this sentence by the author of this article.

“Why did the far left of the Democrat party, represented by the DSA, suddenly amplify its rhetoric from universal health care, oligarchy, and affordability to an intense onslaught against America, Judaism, Israel, and capitalism? And in doing so, mount a challenge to the Democrat establishment”

She left it out without even realizing it I would assume. And I am not surprised at all.

What could that be? It starts with a C.

So after reading this loooong article, he finally gets to his call to arms in the last paragraph.

“We need to respond with rapidity, strength, and reason to protect and advance the foundational principles that have made us the most successful country on Earth, so that our children will inherit the City on the Hill, not hatred and impoverishment.”

What inane pablum! This is what’s going to stir lazy republicans to take to the streets and fight back??

In every red, purple, or blue collar Dem district, I would publish the complete DSA platform.

Exactly. This is one of many action points the author of the underlying article failed to address in the slighest (at least on a quick read).

To name another, local GOP headquarters should mobilize local college groups to campaign on the campus and challenge professors in the classroom with the published DSA platform and encourage open discussions.

This is where our street-level responses can and must occur, at least in the beginning.

If and when the time comes a majority of Americans finally realize 'the frog in the pot is in boiling water, it will be too late to peacefully reverse course.

You may be correct about the peacefully part.

I selected the screen name midpoint in Clinton's lst term and prefer to think that in the absence of clinical evidence, the frog jumps out and is thoroughly and effectively pissed.

(I couldn't imagine given what was known at the time that he would win a 2nd term.)

That’s what the Rats said about the Tea Party, which set the stage for the election of Donald Trump who, for all his flaws, would have been an unthinkable candidate in 2012. We do not want the Rat version of Trump elected.

Well said. I know a good number of blue collar workers who are turned over by the DSA platform. They have no desire to be “bossed around” by a 22 year old Karen who has majored in sociology and never worked outside the student union.
