The purges have already started. As an example AOC replaced a long time RAT politician.
The best way for a socialist to win is to convince people that they aren’t a socialist.
That’s what this whole DSA thing is about. It’s a ruse, like “Sistah Souljah” was for the Clintons. It’s a way to make them look reasonable.
Don’t fall for it.
Atlantic Rag is a skank rag. They haven’t got a clue.
I can see the comparison. MAGA was a wrecking ball aimed at the Establishment GOP that talked conservative and governed Deep State / open borders / go-along-to-get-along. At the heir to the Tea Party, MAGA was people who were sick of John Boehner crying that the GOP couldn’t pass an agenda even when the GOP controlled the House and Senate and who were sick of George Bush letting the Democrats slap him around like a b__ch because he wanted to take the “high road.”
The DSA is the wrecking ball aimed a the Democrats who talk a good game but who take money from Goldman Sachs and other billionaire donors. The Democrats who rig the system to nominate warmonger, Wall Street Hillary over a Socialist. The DSA is insane but it is the same type of response as MAGA.
A civil war within the Democratic Party?
If I were a socialist who wanted to be surreptitious, I would want the Democrats to be leftists without telling everyone they are socialists, and I would want the GOP to be “mainstream” politicians who will go along to get along for the sake of “bipartisanship.” My two difficult groups would therefore be the openly commie DSAs and the openly patriotic MAGA.

MAGA is not a ‘wing’ of the Republican Party. It’s a slogan, that’s very generic and signifies belief in America and traditional mainstream American values. It could just as well be an abbreviation for Make America Mainstream Again.
DSA, on the other hand, want a revolution. They want a ‘fundamental transformation’ of the United States into a socialist / Marxist state. They support revolution and a decimation of our Constitution. There’s absolutely no comparison.
Instead of the DSA/MAGA comparison, I’d make it...
MACA/MAGA.
Which is better?
Make America Crappy Again...
or
Make America Great Again?
Not even close.
Socialism/communism make any country crappy to live in. All those living in the crappy (shithole) countries, want to move to the one and only MAGA country.
(BTW, why is MAGA not an accepted acronym/spelling in FR; it’s being flagged as a misspelled word; it should be an accepted abbreviation for the conservative political movement. The slogan has been running for more than 10 years now.)
James Kirchick came down hard on the Democratic Socialists of America in Atlantic magazine.

The vast majority of the time the Atlantic sounds just like the DSA in their articles. The only reason their anuses are tightening is because the DSA is scaring the broader public. Anyone who isn’t completely clueless knows that the DSA isn’t much different than your standard Dem on a giant range of issues.). As much as many folks might not want to vote Republican this November, it seems that a shockingly large portion don’t want to vote Democrat either.
Comparing MAGA to DSA is like comparing moon rocks to cow plops.
The Atlantic is full of sewage and crabs and old wrecks.
It’s also the name of an ocean.
“Moral equivalancy” is the oldest trick the insane left has to try to justify their corrupt and evil existance.
I think he means both teams are trying to change their parties. If this is the direction then he is 100% correct.
Just when you thought “journalists” could not get stupider.
“The Atlantic” makes one have to PAY to read it online!
Phooey!
