Media outlets are telling us how the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA)Democrats are taking over the Democrat party. Wrong! What Americans are witnessing is another ruse. The Democrats are indeed progressives, as progressive is about making things happen in stages or gradually. And from the 1950’s forward, they have progressed from hiding their true intent while taking over our education systems, embedding deep state into our national security apparatuses, to now openly calling for the destruction of America. It is a progressive hostile takeover, subversion, and insurrection that is so unfathomable to most Americans, that they seek other explanations for what they see happening. No, it is time to believe what you see and realize in the never-ending battle between good and evil, that evil in fact does exist, and it is currently winning easily!
The current “battle” within the fascist, communist, Marxist, socialist, radical Islamist party of America, once known as the Party of Slavery is part of a continued pattern of deceit. Deceit, deception, disinformation are standard practice for Democrats, dictators, and tyrants. In the current environment the deceit has a two-fold purpose.
- First, normalize radicals and revolutionaries, not just DSA candidates, but anarchists, insurrectionists, anti- (fill in the blank; semitic, Christian, Constitution, America, Freedom of choice/speech/arms, Independence, etc.).
- Second, to portray other Democrats as moderate. I will just say the quiet part out loud – they are psychotic.
It is my assessment that this false narrative is being pushed purposefully to and by MSM outlets to make it “appear” to some that there is a battle for control of the democrat party. The objective is to ensure the “big tent” includes anyone and everyone who seeks to disrupt our government, Constitution, and freedoms; advance illegals and felons rights over those of U.S. citizens; and, ensure absolute control and power via elections first – and if that fails – outright terror, insurrection, and anarchy.
It is obviously not news to most Americans that a majority of Democrats favor socialism over capitalism. With extremely few exceptions, Democrats are not rejecting, condemning, or disowning the violent rhetoric, extremist, and treasonous policies of the DSA. Rather, they are welcoming all into their “big tent.” It is like watching a three-ring circus of Satan’s actors in a carnival of destruction. Note, with rare exception[1], Democrats continue to espouse violence, hateful rhetoric, support the assassination of opponents, etc. continues to rise exponentially. America, this is not politics, this is the Democrats’ Blood Revolution to control America. And they are doing this in collaboration with our greatest enemies in China, Iran, Russia, etc.
Democrats on one hand use the DSA to increase the number of revolutionaries who support a violent overthrow our Republic. This is in fact a continuation of their strategy to incite fringe elements to act (violence, assassination, anarchy, etc.), then after the violence, act as though they had not part in it.[2] In simple terms they are building their guerilla army of anti-American insurgents.
Concurrently, they must continue to herd their sheep, a cult-like legion of useful idiots who follow them blindly, by feigning disgust and suggesting they do not necessarily align to DSA’s platform. This is a fact. What you are witnessing is the normal sequence of events in a revolution, as the useful idiots become useless idiots, they must be replaced with those more radical. In other words, revolutions eat their own to obtain absolute power, and after that is achieved, they slaughter their legions of useless idiots to ensure full control.
This is exemplified by several very liberal, very progressive Democrats losing their primaries to DSA candidates. Many more will. Representatives like Diana DeGette of Colorado, Adriano Espaillat of New York, and Dan Goldman of New York lost to DSA members Melat Kiros, Darializa Avila Cevalier, and Brad Lander, respectively.
Did you hear either of the Democrats’ leaders – Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries – sound an alarm, or disown them? No. In fact, they both and many others like Senators Corey Booker, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and a litany of congressional democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), Ro Khanna, Pramila Jayapa, Ilhan Omar, and Hakeem Jeffries all speak about including the DSA in the democrats “big tent.”
The swindle is exemplified by Representative Ro Khanna, as he said “People are upset at an unfair political and economic system. They can’t afford gas, they can’t afford food, young people can’t afford to buy a home or get a job.”[3] Democrats created this economic mess via taxes, inflation, destruction of our energy, opening the borders, and giving free healthcare, education, etc. to tens of millions of illegals. This is a purposeful strategy that has been used for centuries to remove the means of production, forcing people to depend on the government. Create the crisis, the victims, and lead them to dependency.
They expect you will pay no attention to the fact that this big tent includes felons, anti-American, antisemitic, anti-Christian, communists, Marxists, radical Muslims, and fascist organizations like Antifa, BLM, Code Pink. Oh, let us not forget the tens of millions of illegals they helped break out laws to invade our country. This list is endless.
What is happening, is a microcosm of the broader domestic Cognitive War[4] which Democrats are waging to gain absolute power. They are using ideology (e.g., communism, socialism, fascism, etc.), religion (e.g., radical Islam, antisemitism, anti-Christian, etc.), and issues (e.g., racism, transgenderism, etc.) as the ways to seize power. And, like their Chinese allies, they will use any means to advance this quest (e.g., The Smithsonian, our education system, NGOs, fraud, etc.). The Democrats Blood Revolution is increasing their calls, support, funding for those willing to commit violence, support assassinations, cancel, and assault anyone opposed to such radicalism.
All one must do to understand that the DSA and Democrat party are the same is to look at their policies and platforms. Now you may get the whiners who quibble by stating democrats are not for open borders, but actions speak louder than words. What we see happening in Spain with 60,000 illegals crossing the border is child’s play compared to what Democrats did under Biden.
Listen to them – James Carville, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Chuck Schumer, and Hakeem Jeffries and many more have all publicly stated they are in favor of stacking the Supreme Court, ending the senate filibuster to add Puerto Rico and D.C. as states, and shoving through citizenship for illegals, etc. Is there really a difference between getting rid of SCOTUS and stacking it to be a kangaroo court? No. In either case we would see removal of our constitutional rights – starting with the 1st and 2nd amendments.
The chart below provides a small example of their platform similarities. The only difference between the two is in how vocal, truthful, and how fast they will seize power.
| Democrat Socialists of America (DSA)[5],[6] | Democrats |
| Open borders | Open borders |
| Wealth Distribution via high taxes on millionaires and billionaires | High taxes on millionaires and billionaires |
| Eliminate the Senate and Supreme Court | Pack the Court |
| End the Electoral College | End the Electoral College |
| Healthcare for All – Medicare | Healthcare for All – single payer (Obama Care) but Free for Illegals |
| Men in women and girls’ sports / bathrooms | Men in women and girls’ sports / bathrooms |
| Free Higher Education | Free Higher Education for Illegals |
| Close jails and end incarceration | No cash bail and District Attorneys freeing felons or reducing sentencing significantly |
| Abolish Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) | Abolish Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) |
| Mass amnesty for illegals and citizenship | Mass amnesty for illegals and citizenship |
| Defund the Department of War | Severely reduce the Dept. of War funding |
| Support Hamas, Iran, antisemitism | Support Hamas, Iran, antisemitism |
Democrats own the DSA, and the DSA owns them. Don’t be fooled by the lies they’re telling you about wanting to kick out the DSA, as the actions of Democrats clearly show that they are willing to abrogate your Constitutional rights, enable illegals to vote, open our borders, provide citizenship and welfare to all illegals, get rid of ICE, and close prisons. Those are not new policies; those are facts and actions that have already happened. These are pillars of the Democrats platform.
Do not forget that all the 2016, 2020, and 2024 Democrat presidential candidates supported these efforts. The deception and ruse are highly effective, as we see that conservatives and independents remain unaware, unprepared, and unarmed.
This strategy of deception began decades ago. It is one of many employed by them very adeptly in the Democrats Blood Revolution. One other example I have written about is their quest to ensure perpetual control of blue states (Democrat) and subvert and dilute red states (Republican) to eventually overtake them. That strategy employes four critical parts starting with projection, taxes and inflation, dilution of red states, and subversion.[7] It is very real, very cunning, and very effective.
Democrats, unlike Republicans, have employed a multi-front long-term strategy over the last several decades. They have methodically executed it. They fully understand there will be setbacks, as they plan for them. Look at 2016 and the Russian dossier coup used to subvert President Trump; the 2020 fraudulent election and staged 6 Jan demonstration to seize and control the narrative that effectively destroyed any opposition or real investigation; and, after Trump was re-elected in 2024 for the third time, the use of judicial insurrection by radical leftists to hamper, delay, and subvert fulfillment of his mandate and our laws.
Too many Republicans stupidly noted the Democrat party was “dead” after the 2024 election. How many times have we heard that before? Eye roll! Yet, Democrats continue their march and continue seizing power under our noses. There is no such thing as a “moderate” Democrat party – it is a party hell bent on destroying America as we know it. Better start understanding what is really happening in this ongoing #CognitiveWar. The Democrats’ Blood Revolution bomb is ticking…and they will come for you…soon!
