The Backlash Against Socialism: North Las Vegas Mayor Switches Political Parties

On April 6th, North Las Vegas mayor John Lee announced that he is no longer associated with the Democratic Party and has, instead, switched his affiliation to the Republicans. This move is a direct result of the push for socialism from the Democrats.

The mayor explained on "Fox and Friends," “In the Democratic Party of Nevada, they had an election recently for leadership, and four of the five people were card-carrying members of the socialistic party. It’s not the party that I grew up with 25 years ago in this environment, and it’s not the party that I can stand with anymore.”

This sentiment expresses what many Americans have experienced over the past few years. My mother was a lifelong Democrat and a union worker for Chrysler for decades. Not even having her job outsourced to China stopped her from shouting, “Vote Democrat!”

In the Trump era everything changed for her. The 2020 election was the first time she ever voted Republican because she realized how destructive the socialist sentiment coming from the most influential Democrats is.

Democrats openly celebrated their socialist ideals during the Trump presidency. Rashida Tlaib expressed favoritism for its rhetoric from the start of her political career, as well as Sandy O, and other “squad members” who entered the House of representatives.

I myself have been an independent voter for 10 years. I never felt fully represented by the right or the left, but I found much more common ground with conservatives because they seemed to be the only ones still interested in upholding the Constitution and ensuring that law and order rule over mob mentality and ruthlessness.

I no longer cheer when Dems switch to Rep because I’m wary that they do so not because they’ve had a genuine change of heart, but because they are infiltrating the Rep Party to weaken and destroy it from within. Reflects my loss of trust in our politics these days.

I've never cheered when RATs switch parties because, in their best case scenario, it's a single issue concern.

A lot of RATs/libertardians switched over the single issue of guns. Conservatives are spot on when it comes to the 2nd, and everybody knows it.

But the defectors still hold to fag rights, open borders, vending machine narcotics, abortion rights.........

And those issues will never be remedied. Not in this lifetime, anyway.

Is it a genuine change of heart, or an infiltration?
