In case you haven’t been paying attention, there’s an ongoing Communist plot to overthrow our form of government.  Communists, posing under the guise of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), are engineering a hostile takeover of the Democrat Party.  One by one, mostly in deep Blue Congressional Districts, DSA candidates are ousting incumbent Democrats.

It began eight years ago, when AOC ousted long-time incumbent Joe Crowley in New York City.  She started what became known as The Squad, a collection of Commie rabble rousers such as, Ilhan Omar (MN), Ayanna Pressley (MA), Pramila Jayapal (WA), and Rashida Tlaib (MI), as well as others.

The Squad gained power during the nation-wide 2020 George Floyd riots.  Squad members advocated for the violence that left scores of downtown businesses torched or looted, while police stations and other government buildings were attacked.

Squad members wielded power in a fashion that would have made Hitler’s Nazi Brown Shirts proud.  While they made speeches about ending fascism and preserving democracy, they used the hooded bastards of Antifa to hurl rocks, start fires, and beat any and all dissenters, as well as journalists, with clubs.

The Squad had seven members for several years, but new recruits are being added.  Here in New Jersey, my Congressional District, not long ago, was represented by Rodney Frelinghuysen, a moderate Republican, who had ancestors who were in the Continental Congress, and fought in the Revolution.  Four Frelinghuysens were U.S. Senators, and one was a Secretary of State.

Rodney Frelinghuysen retired, to be replaced by Mikie Sherrill, a fake moderate Democrat.  When she was elected Governor, she was replaced by a Communist.  A doctor linked to Al-Qaeda is the Democrat running in the 12th District.  As these districts don’t have real general elections, the Communist and the terrorist sympathizer will be elected.

This primary season saw other DSA members ousting long-time incumbents in New York and Colorado, where a 30 year veteran lost her primary to a DSA upstart.

At first, these denizens of the DSA were considered to be political oddities.  Then, the tendency was to conclude that, because they were representing districts traditionally held by liberal Democrats, no big changes were afoot.  One Democrat was just as useful to the Party as another Democrat, right?  Wrong!

The Democrat Party of Nancy Pelosi gained and kept power by enforcing iron-clad discipline on its members.  You either voted the Party line along with Nancy, or she’d cut your throat – politically.  Early attempts by DSA to gain influence in Congress were thwarted by Nancy, for instance, when she denied AOC a leadership position.  But Socialist/Communists are persistent.

As incumbent Democrats continued to be defeated by upstart revolutionaries, the Democrat Party was pulled inexorably to the Left – by fear.  Incumbent Democrats, liberal though they may have been, began to parrot the DSA line in attempts to avoid being the next sacrifice.  Their choice was either cow tow to the Communists or risk being primaried and losing your seat.  I don’t for a moment believe that all the Democrats in Congress, distasteful as they may be, support the wild-eyed radical positions advanced by the DSA.

They just didn’t have the courage to resist this intrusion into their Party.  As I recently noted, 25% of Democrats aren’t proud to be Americans, and these are the 25% who regularly turn out to vote in Democrat primaries; fodder for the DSA line.  So old-time Democrats went along with the DSA rhetoric, hoping they’d mellow or just go away.  But they didn’t.  As Winston Churchill once observed, an appeaser is one who keeps feeding a crocodile, hoping that it will eat him last.

Now, spewing the DSA talking points may be popular with the 25% nutty base, and may do no harm to the Party in the deep Blue House districts, but it’s not a helpful means of convincing American voters to support Democrats in national elections.  And therein lies the rub.

Democrats are caught between having to mollify the 25% by parroting the anti-capitalist, truly Marxist DSA line, and trying to keep Democrat voters outside deep Blue districts from bolting the Party.  That battle rages to this day.  Democrats follow the principle that “you must fool 51% of the people every four years by claiming to be moderate.”  But try as it might, the Democrat leadership cannot get the DSA nuts even to pretend to be anything other than what they are – Communists.  The DSA is in full revolt against the Democrat leaders.

So, instead of stamping out the DSA threat to the usual Democrat line of electoral bullshit, Democrats are pretending to welcome them to their cause, uniformly saying that they “have a big tent” to accommodate all factions.  In a way it’s Nancy Pelosi’s fault.  She was so successful in forcing Democrats all to sing from the same sheet of music that now they know no other response.  But the DSA isn’t interested in coming into the Democrat tent.  They’d rather burn the tent down, purge the current leaders, and erect a new tent for their own circus.

The purge is on.  And keep in mind, we’re talking about people who are already on the far Left of the political spectrum.  Chuck Schumer basically is a dead man walking.  If she doesn’t run for president, AOC likely will take his Senate seat.  House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is a far, far Left Democrat, and a reliable vote for any crazy progressive policy.  Yet, on the night DSA ousted two incumbent NYC House members in June, DSA Brown Shirts serenaded Jeffries with chants of “You’re next!”

And what is DSA selling?  If there existed an honest media in this country, you already would know, but there doesn’t, so I’ll tell you.  The DSA Platform, according to its website, says that capitalism cannot be reformed into socialism but must be “overthrown and replaced.”  They want the largest corporations  under “public ownership and democratic control,” including public ownership of major transportation and energy infrastructure and natural resources.  (In other words, seize the means of production – Communism).

They want a 32-hour workweek with 40-hour pay, higher taxes on wealthy earners and corporations, taxes on large inheritances and private universities, and a new wealth tax.  (In other words, wealth confiscation – Communism).

They want Medicare for All with no premiums, co-pays or deductibles and guarantees for what the document calls “reproductive and gender-affirming care.”  As for housing and education, universal rent control, taxpayer-funded social housing, a guaranteed right to counsel for every tenant, tuition-free public colleges, no out-of-pocket room-and-board costs and cancellation of all student loan debt.

On immigration, DSA wants workers to migrate between countries without  immigration controls.  It seeks to demilitarize the border, end all immigrant detention and deportations, grant immediate amnesty to every immigrant regardless of current status and provide immigrants access to jobs, labor protections and social services.  Oh, and a couple other things, full voting rights for noncitizens and people with criminal convictions, statehood for Washington, D.C., and slash the defense budget.

On crime, DSA would abolish cash bail and mandatory minimum sentences, demilitarize police departments and treat drug addiction as a health issue rather than a crime.  (In other words, defund the police, end prosecutions, and keep the electorate perpetually high, so they won’t notice).  On foreign affairs DSA would end U.S. military and economic aid and weapons sales to Israel, recognize of the authority of the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice, and recognize a sovereign Palestinian State.

If the foregoing hasn’t scared the shit out of you, try this on for size.   The DSA, representing the Party that’s been haranguing us for years about existential threats to our constitutional rights, has a plan to fix all that.  DSA says its goal is a new constitution based on proportional representation in a “single federal legislature” that would “end the role of money in politics.”  Money wouldn’t be needed, as the Marxist electoral system is “One man, one vote, one time.”

Oh yes, did I mention, replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote, expanding the House, abolishing the Senate and the presidency, and reducing the Supreme Court’s power of judicial review?

The battle against the DSA could go a couple of different ways.  The election of Communists to House seats could backfire, cause a schism in the Party and do lasting damage to the Democrat Party.  But only if Republicans can successfully inform the general public of what’s in store for them should DSA prevail, and  enough reasonable voters go to the polls in swing districts and reject the Marxist takeover.

A good barometer will be the Senate races in Michigan and Missouri.  If Abdul El-Sayad, an openly antisemitic DSA backed candidate, wins in Michigan, and Squad member Cori Bush wins the Senate seat in Missouri, then DSA moves from the Blue districts to the national stage, and that spells trouble.  If the DSA Marxists can be contained in a handful of House seats, they pose a greater threat to the Democrat Party than to the nation.

The message is, don’t take the DSA lightly.  Marxist zealots never give up.
