This wave of democratic socialists winning primaries in deep blue districts, and thus assured of winning in the general election, is almost as alarming as the complacency and willingness of the centrist bulk of the Democrat party to move farther left in an attempt to save their own skins rather than rebuke the candidates for their anti-American, communist rants. Jeffries and Schumer are hearing footsteps. And isn’t it ironic that this wave of socialists, many of whom are well-off children of immigrants, are going to prompt an immigration of their own: an exodus of businesses, the wealthy, and middle-class taxpayers to more tax-friendly locales, presumably in the South. Their destructive policies will inevitably result in increased crime, higher taxes, punitive financial burdens on success, and a net migration out of the cities. Of course the resulting fiscal shortfall after the cities lose their tax base will result in a trickle down affect of increased taxation into lower earnings thresholds and taxpayers statewide picking up the tab, a phenomenon we are seeing play out in New York already where governor Hochul, another vintage Democrat in survival mode, has committed state funds to Mamdani’s utopian disaster unfolding in New York City. When suburban and rural taxpayers inevitably rebel against funding city policies, if they can’t overcome the population advantage the city has at the ballot box, they have no other alternative than to get out. Property values fall, the tax base erodes, and the tax-and-spend cycle bankrupts the state. Services are prioritized, and program budgets are slashed. The first victims will be those who are politically unpopular with the socialists. Law enforcement is always the first to go with these leftists. Exactly how abolishing prisons, laughably explained because they shouldn’t have been sentenced in the first place, in conjunction with decreased police presence on the street, sounds like a vacuum destined to be filled with drug use, theft, and gang violence. Good luck with that. So is this actually a movement to provide equity and affordability to the masses, or is it actually a step to destroy Western culture, or in this case, destroy America? Listening to Darializa Chevalier, the unhinged winner of New York’s 13th district congressional primary, might make you think so. She has called for the abolition of ICE, the minimal threshold for a DSA candidate of course, but also referred to the US as “a f—-ing disgrace” and claimed she would wipe her dirty hands on the American flag. She also stated that Israel “doesn’t exist” and naturally calls for support for Hamas and a world without borders, prisons or police. She even called Joe Biden, senile perhaps but staunchly positioned on the left, a “rapist” and a “war criminal.” Seriously, they need to start doing mental health assessments on these DEI lunatics. AOC and the Squad may have started the pendulum swinging, and Barack Obama set the stage with his promise to “fundamentally change America,” but I don’t think any one of them thought the pendulum would swing quite this far. Gird your lions, America; it’s going to be a bumpy ride to socialism. If we even make it there intact.
