The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) program is obviously destructive and a liability to Democrats’ electoral chances. Republicans can help voters realize that the DSA program is a natural consequence of Democrats’ rejection of US founding values and history.
At a rally on October 27, 2024, Donald Trump identified the enemy within as “a massive, vicious, crooked, radical-left machine that runs today’s Democrat Party.” To preserve our constitutional republic, we must defeat the anti-US and un-American Democrat Party and its DSA outgrowth.
Democrat leaders in 2019 were calling for decriminalizing illegal border crossings and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). On July 6, 2020, I stated: “A [Joe] Biden victory in November would lead to more violence on our streets and more illegal drugs and migrants flowing across our southern border.”
The Biden regime did not enforce immigration laws, enticing more than 10 million illegal aliens into the country. Democrats blamed Republicans for not cooperating with needed legislation. President Donald Trump reduced illegal entries effectively to zero by applying the law, exposing the Democrats’ lie as purposeful flooding of our country with illegal aliens.
In addition to abolishing ICE, the DSA program would “legalize migration [and] grant amnesty for all immigrants regardless of status.” It would also “extend full voting rights to all permanent U.S. residents,” which all immigrants would become.
Numerous government statistics show that during Biden’s tenure, the flow of cocaine and fentanyl into our country increased significantly. This coincides with the increase in illegal immigrants, since both are handled by the same criminal cartels.
Democrats portrayed violence during the summer of 2020 as stemming from racial injustice and police brutality. Kamala Harris said nationwide protests are “not going to let up and they should not and we should not.”
Democrat media described mostly peaceful protests in Kinosha, Wisconsin, with burning buildings in the background. When polls later showed Biden’s approval decreasing, the violence came to an abrupt halt. This was not a coincidence. Black Lives Matter (BLM)—whose leaders described themselves as communists—and Antifa are the violent socialist arm of the Democrats.
Lawlessness is a key component of Democrat strategy. There has been almost no Democrat criticism, for example, of the violence against ICE agents. Instead, elected Democrats vilify ICE enforcement as Gestapo-like.
Democrats were mostly silent when Tesla dealerships were violently attacked after Elon Musk headed DOGE. Senate Democrats blocked a resolution condemning the violence despite some Democrats having previously sponsored domestic terrorism legislation.
Identity politics is also central to Democrat strategy. It promotes un-American discrimination, contrary to our aspiration of equality before the law. Purposely dividing societies has been a method to conquer them. During his presidency, Barack Obama, still the most prominent Democrat, promoted Alinskyite racial division.
Obama supporters point to his unifying language to rebut such claims, but talk is cheap. His two-faced stance is typical of Democrats, and it reveals their DSA problem: Democrats must hide the truth.
Democrats–with an arrogant belief in their purity and their opponents’ evilness—have demonstrated contempt for the rules and those who disagree with them. The Biden regime engaged in abuse of power against political opponents, likely violating numerous laws.
- Demoralization, such as distorting history, teaches people to hate the country.
- Abuse of power foments destabilization.
- Trust in institutions is lost, and lies replace truth.
Americans have seen the inevitable negative results of Democrat policies and the way they resort to fraud to retain power. Democrats’ first House bill in 2021 would have created a national mailing voting system with same-day registration and a ban on voter-identification requirements. The goal was simple: electoral fraud in their favor.
So this unconstitutional legislation could be declared constitutional, Congressional Democrats introduced bills to increase the number of Supreme Court justices. Strong opposition and political risk calculations kept the bills from moving.
Harris is one of several prominent Democrats who favor packing the Supreme Court. If Democrats regain power over Congress and the White House, we will not have another free election.
Ralph Pezzullo explained in Stolen Elections: The Takedown of Democracies Worldwide (2025) how the Soles Cartel developed a system to steal elections. It helped Biden prevail in 2020. Former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen, who investigated the Soles Cartel, has said it tried and failed to steal the 2024 election for Harris. He insists on hand-counted paper ballots.
Democrats, with some regrettable Republican help, have blocked the SAVE Act that would require proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote. Democrats crave power, for which they must cheat and lie. DSA leaders say what they believe, but they are a reflection of the real Democrat agenda, which we must defeat.
