A specter is taking over the Democratic party and haunting America...Marxist and Islamic Socialism.
A new crop of Democratic party candidates truly stand for and believe in the worst and most dangerous ideologies of the past. These candidates are winning nominations and likely winning races for mayor, for Congress, and for Senate—from Los Angeles to Washington, DC; from Colorado to Michigan.
Even a cursory look at their platforms and speeches reveals admissions of support for Marx and Mao and Stalin, and Islamist organizations from Hamas to Hezbollah.
This juggernaut of alien and anti-American ideology has a motor, and it has momentum; even the Democratic front-runner for President and the Democrat’s former nominee, Kamala Harris, is in regular consultation with one of its leaders, seeking favor and advice from Zohran Mamdani.
The toxic ideology, from which millions died, and fled from in Europe, Asia, Lebanon, and Iran, cannot be replanted here. But just now, due to enfeeblement or sympathy, no force within the Democratic party can stop it.
The job must be left to us.
