Gaslight or cognitive dissonance, the DSA’s successful primary wins has exhilarated their true believers who take turns lecturing everyone else they are not communists, then gather together on how best facilitate the destruction of America, Israel and capitalism.

Bolshevik much?

Frank, Aaron, Hank and Sam are Communist insurgents, radicalized marxist revolutionaries hiding behind personal ideologies to justfy their 1A expressions of the right to promote the insurrection of the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America pic.twitter.com/XLzzjisOqd

And it’s not like Mamdani and his associates have been shy about seizing private property, establishing government-run grocery stores and promising FREE STUFF to “The People”. But point out that this DSA wing of the Democratic Party are actual commies and get hit by a wall of gaslighting. There’s the mocking of President Trump’s speech and old-timey progressives like Gavin Newsom is pretty mush-mouthed when trying to help with pretense that the commie wing is eating his lunch.

Watching Gavin Newsom attempt to grapple with the question of Establishment Democrats vs the DSA insurgency is really something to behold.

He flounders and flops around before finally settling on the idea that the party needs to “be in the addition business." pic.twitter.com/AOlQwLMEdd

Even Temu Obama can’t catch a break from the commie insurgents …

Hakeem Jeffries is rolling out the welcome mat for the people who want his head mounted on their trophy wall.

On Saturday, the House minority leader offered a hearty “welcome aboard” to state Assembly members Claire Valdez and Micah Lasher as well as congressional candidates Darializa Avila Chevalier and Brad Lander, both progressive Democrats associated with the Democratic Socialists of America.

The standard Progressive Democrats, like Jeffries, know they have to mouth the Maoling platitudes of the new Red Guard.

“From public servants to union organizers to community activists, the path is different but the work is the same. We must decisively address the affordability crisis and crush far-right extremism!” said Hakeem Jeffries

Mamdani’s rent freeze of over a million rental units isn’t about affordibility, it’s about confiscation of private property. And “far-right extremism”, was Saturday’s celebration of July 4th when DSA repudiates everything there is about America as a nation. But from Hochul to Jeffries to Newsom, who is going to confront the commie wing poised to purge anyone who gets in their way? Execrable, Jew-hating Hasan Piker tried to parlay his leftwing influencer creds into a Congressional candidate, but lost to Democrat Richie Torres. This was Piker’s note of “congratulations” to a fellow Democrat:

“Ritchie Torres I know you won tonight,” he snarled. “I’ll see you in two years, motherf–ker. I’m coming for you, Richie. Sit on that f–kin seat for the next two years. I hope you remember that. Every day, every time there’s a decision that you can make where you are pro-Israel, I hope you remember. You better act right, Ritchie.”

As a Cold War kid, I grew up with the Soviet threat, Doomsday clock, Cuban missile crisis, the crushing of Prague Spring, and reading Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and Natan Sharansky. I have no illusions about “from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs” to know that the politics of envy never ends well. And that Jeffries mouthing of “crisis of affordability” is just another self-serving slogan for the looters and moochers like Mamdani and Piker to continue steal what they could never create on their own.

As someone else has pointed out, there are makers and takers. Regardless of all of Mamdani’s “everything is going to be rainbows, butterflies, and puppies, trust me!”, all collectivists are takers.

We either defeat them at the ballot box or we’ll end up fighting them in the streets. Show up in November.
