Burning Down The House…<\/strong><\/h2>\n

“I forgot to get napkins. I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who are all these Democratic Socialists of America, anyway?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization,\u201d<\/em> <\/strong>one of their spoxes declared on Instagram in 2024.<\/p>\n

Hmmmm . . . . I wonder if you can be a little more specific. Like, including\u00a0democracy<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0socialism<\/em>, two western civ constructs? Kind of looks like a baby \/ bathwater situation, followed by burning down the house where the baby lived. Do we get a chance to debate this proposition in the midterm election?<\/p>\n

Likewise, a St. Paul, Minnesota, school board member, one Chauntyll Allen offered the following policy recommendation<\/strong> on the\u00a0We Love Our Dog Park<\/em>\u00a0Facebook page:<\/p>\n

A bad moon is rising on our nation\u2019s 250th\u00a0birthday.<\/strong> The country is in a rancid mood. You begin to see what happens when political ideas are carried to their last limits. Question is: does all this add up to a winning party platform? You must suppose that higher-ups in the Democratic Party are asking themselves the question now. What do Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer think when they see these Angels of Death on the march (or in flight) over the midterm battlefield?<\/p>\n

Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, and Melat Kiros are going to Congress to link arms with \u201cThe Squad\u201d \u2014 AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley \u2014 and they will bring their cargo of DSA policy ideas with them: racial, gender, and social justice; abolish ICE (no more deporting anybody); defund the police; end incarceration (no more jails); free housing and medical care; green this-n-that; government ownership of business; abolish the Senate and the electoral college; pack the SCOTUS…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The platform apparently has a lot of appeal to a certain demographic \u2014 which, I suspect, includes the many young recent graduates of the diploma mills who are pissed-off that Mr. Trump & Company are methodically shutting down the NGOs that were supposed to furnish these young race-and-gender studies majors with cushy, six-figure jobs doing \u201cactivism.\u201d Alas, that pathway is increasingly blocked and the country only needs so many baristas.<\/p>\n

What to do then? Take it to the limit! Be communists. . . with all that entails.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s mine is mine and what\u2019s yours is mine, too.<\/em><\/p>\n

This new gen of Democratic Socialists is arguably worse than the Confederates of 1861. <\/strong>Those Rebs only wanted to secede from USA and go their own way in one corner of the land. They didn\u2019t want to piss on Johann Sebastian Bach, Leonardo DaVinci, Jane Austen, Margaret Fuller, and Ralph Waldo Emerson as they walked out. The Democratic Socialists of our day are fully aligned with their avatars: Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Pol Pot, who operated human meat-grinders at scale to tamp down the opposition. Not a great look to align with the great mass-murderers of history.<\/p>\n

It must be agony for Schumer and Jeffries. <\/strong>Eradicate Western Civ. . . ? Piss on white people\u2019s corpses. . . ? Are they really going to get behind that? No-o-o-o-o. But they will try to wriggle around this steaming pile for some weeks to come until it is obvious that the Democratic Party has blown itself up, hoisted itself on that old petard. It may be too late for the party\u2019s old guard. No matter how many rain-dances Elizabeth Warren does, nothing will put out this dumpster fire.<\/p>\n

Another question for the months ahead: can that party control its increasingly maniacal street warriors, the Antifas, the Pink Pistols, the Transgender Armed Defense forces, and whatever remains of BLM<\/strong><\/em>. There is still a lot of money in circulation for public demonstrations and disruptions from George Soros and other sponsors. And apart from that are the forces of jihad, with their own foreign patrons. Gawd knows how many jihadis came into the country during \u201cJoe Biden\u2019s\u201d orchestrated alien invasion. Not just a few, you can be sure.<\/p>\n

By the way, can somebody at the Office of Management and Budget do an audit of the $370-billion that \u201cJoe Biden\u201d handed over to John Podesta in the fall of 2024 to administer \u201cclimate-related provisions\u201d of the Inflation Reduction Act, and figure out how much of it bounced right back into Democratic Party-adjacent NGOs and down to party capos like Stacey Abrams in Georgia, Brandon Johnson in Chicago, and Karen Bass in LA?<\/p>\n

And happy 250th birthday to you, America \u2014 if you can keep yourself.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
