Bill Maher let the cat out of the bag to all the aloof, clueless Dems who had no idea what was actually happening because they live in affluent bubbles. Most of them had no clue at all who was being voted in but now they do, which are communists.
Good luck in the mid-terms, Dems.
Just asking for a friend.
All that's old is new again.
So, another DSA grifter wins the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan. It's ironic considering that Detroit was under socialist control by the Coleman Young administration for 20 years and the city of Detroit was virtually destroyed by its policies.
Detroit was once the richest city in the country until socialists took control of it.
They had unfettered power to enact whatever policies they wanted and what you ended up with was total destruction. That's because, like I keep trying to tell people, deconstruction is the goal. And they keep saying the right is made up of stupid people.
If you want to see how "educated" you'd need to be to vote for DSA just drop by their website and have a look:
https://program.dsausa.org/#narrative
EDIT: Since this is picking up steam here's an excerpt from the DSA's website:
"You have no debt. You don’t need health insurance. You don’t pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren’t for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities."
It's literally straight out of a pro Soviet propaganda poster.
I find it amusing that the typical limousine liberal types are always clamoring for more welfare benefits, acting like it's worked wonders to "help communities" and that if you disagree they respond with some absurd semantical argument.
How many of them have lived anywhere near a neighborhood that had a high rate of poverty and welfare recipients? How many have lived in a poor city in general?
They point to the usual lies, damn lies, and Democrat statistics. They argue that without it you'd have abject and total poverty and that it's actually increased incomes but they never actually delve into, or even collect the data that would represent the real cost of welfare.
They point to unadjusted numbers for income and housing values in high welfare areas while ignoring the fact that literally nobody collects any comprehensive data on business losses in those areas or home demolitions over time, if at all. Everything leftist academics do now is some kind of grift.
What have any of them since JFK (The Civil Rights Act was actually his and he was staunchly anti-communist) actually done to make anything actually better for anybody? Other than themselves of course?
So far 67 people are dead (it's a literal slaughter) and of course the leftist government of Spain takes no responsibility for any of it. The legacy media (DNC) only mentions it briefly and of course none of any of this is the fault of leftist ideology, which is always the case when the left creates humanitarian disasters like Libya, which was the precursor to all of this.
And you wonder why people vote for Trump. Because the left is completely disconnected from reality.
Cue the deflections, definist fallacies, claims of "bad faith" arguments, and when that all fails, feigning ignorance.
EDIT: Oh, and how could I forget:
"That's not happening and it's a good thing that it is."
Somehow the left memory holed Fauci's AIDS vaccine debacle:
"Federal researchers on Thursday dropped plans for a large-scale test of an experimental AIDS vaccine developed by the National Institutes of Health - the latest fallout from the failure last September of a similar candidate from drugmaker Merck & Co. that may have left some volunteers more vulnerable to HIV infection."
Sounds familiar? He also experimented on kids on the 1980's resulting in mass protests.

And of course he funded gain of function research at the Wuhan lab to get around the US ban on stateside GOF research. And of course a GOF enhanced virus "escapes" from that lab while Trump is in the middle of a trade war with the Democrats' biggest cash cow, China.
What a coincidence.

You remember when Elon was their "green energy" hero? You couldn't say anything bad about him or his company or you were branded a "fascist" and a "mouth breather." Now, if you actually own one of his products then you're a "fascist" and a "mouth breather."
That's because leftists are programmable. They can be programmed to believe literally anything as long as you use certain psychological methods and that it confirms something that they want to believe, primarily that they're supposed to get something for nothing.
The entire left wing agenda can be summed up as everything they want that you have to get for them or you're a bad person.
It's the politics of perpetual juveniles.
EDIT: Here's my latest favorite example of rank leftist hypocrisy:
https://x.com/mazemoore/status/2081238037581754682
EDIT 2: "Elon did a Nazi salute. He's a fascist."
How can anybody take this seriously? Firstly, he didn't do a "Nazi salute" and all of you know it. It was "my heart goes out to you" and it's obvious that it was.
Secondly, all of you were in the tank for Graham Platner before he got cancelled and he had an actual Nazi tattoo on his chest for 20 years and none of you cared.
Pure and total hypocisy,
I started to watch the Maine Senate debates and then stopped because it was absurd to the point of being disgusting. There were people on that stage that are literally mentally ill and there are people on the left that would happily vote for them if they had the chance.
If you're willing to vote for literally crazy people then what does that make you?
In 2015, the Danish Prime Minister Lars Rasmussen stated:
“I know that some people in the U.S. associate the Nordic model with some sort of socialism. Therefore, I would like to make one thing clear. Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy.”
Social Democratic Minister of Finance Kjell‐Olof Feldt stated:
“That whole thing with democratic socialism was absolutely impossible. It just didn’t work.”
Also, they are now instituting remigration policies because mass third world migration is destroying their welfare states.
The DSA is detached from reality and juvenile.
I find it kind of amazing that people think that these fires are happening organically. It's kind of like how in Canada there was this fake "Kamloops crisis" (with no actual evidence of course) and then all of these "mysterious" burning and vandalizing of Catholic Churches and nobody in Canada could catch who did it and pretty much ignored it.
Yeah, it reminds me of that.
It's incredible how you can't point out the obvious to Democrats anymore. Even though they were always devious and fake it's really beyond the pale at this point. Basic economics and arithmetic no longer apply to them in their carefully constructed fantasy worlds. Common sense has no meaning or purpose. It's all just what they want to believe at any given point in time, they're always virtuous and right and you're a bad person if you don't agree.
Well, you can thank Democrat policies for all the higher prices in housing and in the general economy. Which anybody with a high school level economics education could have told you years ago.
EDIT: Since the usual deflections and logical fallacies are starting (SOURCE? SOURCE???) here's the paper:
https://www.dallasfed.org/research/papers/2026/wp2607
EDIT 2: Per usual, the vast majority of comments can be summed up as "That's not happening and it's a good thing that it is."
No amount of definist fallacy or word salad is going to change that. If you openly say that you will vote for an avowed communist over any other candidate and your political party also condones voting for a communist then guess what?
You're all communists.
This isn't some kind of big secret but I've noticed that since some of the DSA theater kid lunatics actually got votes they've been playing their usual definist fallacy games on steroids.
They're continuously arguing over what the definition of socialism and communism is and whether or not their policies are socialist or communist when they have a literal avowed communist representative now and all of their policies are designed to enable communism.
You can't make this stuff up.

"We found out when Putin closed the valves in 2022, we thought we had a contract with Gazprom, but we actually had a contract with Mr. Putin.
Now, the same will happen — and this is a prediction — when we go to green energy.
90% of what is produced with regard to raw materials for renewable energy is produced by China, and 60% of that is owned by China.
In 10 years' time we are using only renewable energy, and Xi does what Putin did in 2022 — we don't have light, we will not drive, we will not work, we will not have heating, nothing.
We have to stop being so naive... Prepare for war, then the chance of not having a war is going up."

Ask yourself how this isn't true and ask yourself who's pushing the hardest to force everyone to buy Chinese short cycle junk to replace our current energy infrastructure with and why? To the point of legislating it.
I live in Buffalo NY. We were one of the first cities to deal with the new, trendy and completely unqualified "Democratic Socialists" when we defeated India Walton for mayor. What was incredible was how NYC couldn't defeat Mamdani being as how much bigger it is compared to us. Then it dawned on me:
Democratic Socialists only thrive in places with lots of young, over privileged college grads with no life experience and who are resentful that they can't live the lifestyle they think they deserve but never actually earned. Everybody on the left is riding this high of how everything's gonna be wonderful now but none of these socialists have ever actually solved any problems. Ever.
Mamdani, Bernie, AOC, what are their accomplishments? Other than performative nonsense (theater)? Chasing away money and jobs?
Literally nothing. As soon as they start implementing their "ideas" everybody's going to see how grossly incompetent and phony all of them are and since the Democrats are trying to co-opt them to become relevant again they're gonna get stuck with the tab for it.

The crux of DEI is that if you are in the majority then you must admit to wrongdoing that there's no actual proof of you commiting and then endlessly defend yourself from accusations of it by apparatchiks. It's also how a communist struggle session works. You're guilty until proven innocent based on mob reinforced pseudoscience prosecuted by "intellectual" political actors (criminals).
The main pseudoscientific concept is "implicit bias." This is basically the notion that if you're in the majority then you're automatically biased even though you may have never done anything provably biased in your life. You have to simply admit that this is the case due to who you are and where you grew up and abide by whatever behavioral training "guidelines" (absurd rules) are doled out to you by an authoritative body. You aren't allowed to question any of it or there will be negative consequences for you. Of course this isn't how actual reality works and it's very easy to expose it as a scam by asking a simple question:
If there's no proof of me exhibiting biased actions but I'm still guilty of being biased then how do I prove that I'm not a biased person?
Bottom line is that you can't, and that's the point. You cannot prove a negative. Once you admit to being guilty of something that there's no actual proof of then there's no limit to what the authorities accusing you can require you to do to atone for it. You can be made to jump through endless hoops while being constantly told you're not doing enough to atone for your imaginary transgressions.
This is how communists and scammers (same thing) subdue a person and extract endless concessions from them into infinity while they psychologically break them. It's one of the oldest guilt trip scam methods there is and it's been institutionalized in the US by the left.
So lemme get this straight:
There's supposedly this "student loan crisis" where you've got liberal arts majors that took out $200K in student loans to go party at some overpriced out of state school somewhere that Democrats now want to "forgive" (stick the taxpayer, who might not have even went to college or taken any loans if they did) even though other people have paid theirs off in full but they won't even experiment with allowing people to pay them down with pre-tax deductions?
Uh huh. Sounds totally legit.
What is actually sounds like is that the Democrats want to decide who gets what as usual and increase taxes so they can pay themselves to "administer" these programs.
They've been promoting taking loans since Clinton to get an education for their "service economy." Now suddenly there's a "crisis" that only they can solve by getting more tax money to dole out as they see fit. Right.
Give me one valid reason why paying down federal student loans with pre-tax money shouldn't at least be tried. They're still charging interest on the loans anyway.
EDIT: To the "this will help peoole who don't need the money" crowd:
How's that work exactly? If it's not means tested it will help everybody. And how many people are you actually talking about on the top end and who would they be?
You have to take into consideration that most of the students who need to take student loans either don't have the money for college (no trust funds) or don't have parents who can afford to send them to college in the first place, and the parents often take out loans for their kids so they can go to what they think is the best school for what they want to major in. That's why there's a Federal program for this (Parent Plus) and there's no way to transfer those loans to the student other than by taking private.
So who are we actually talking about here? Who would pay interest on something that they could pay for with cash anyway? Wouldn't all of them have 529 funds anyway? If you're actually concerned about high earners then means test it but what's the criteria?
So you're seeing the right wing manifest itself politically in a wide range of western first world countries, and even including third world South American countries like Colombia now. England, Ireland, Germany, Denmark, etc.
This is a direct result of leftist policies and the fallout from them. It's also the result of their condescension and word salad that you receive any time to ask them straightforward questions about what their policy endpoints actually are.
Well, explain why you're seeing a hard right shift in all the nations where you've been able to enact these policies with impunity for a decade and why you're getting voted out except in the most insular ideological bubbles that you exist in.
