It's easy enough to shrug this off, to let them wallow in cesspools of their own making... right...?
But... in the long term this cannot work in our favor.
Every city taken over by communists who are no longer even trying to disguise their true nature (behind the curtains of "socialists, progressives," etc.) becomes another beach head secured in the ongoing struggle.
Each one INCREASES their power while decreasing what influence the Constitutionalsts/Republicans have left.
When the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian government in October 1917, they did not originally believe they were going to win, because their actual numbers were not large. It came as a surprise to them that the old government collapsed so quickly.
But then... they focused their attacks, gained control over a good portion of the army, began to amass power, and were able to wage a civil war in which they eventually defeated the opposition.
By permitting communist strongholds HERE, we are giving them time to build strength and continually acquire "territory". They currently control a large part of the west coast and are gaining strength in the mid-Atlantic states as well as in New England. Not to mention inner cities, even in so-called "red" states.
There are about 95 members of the "progressive" caucus today. I don't know whether the cpc is comprised of Representatives only, or if Senators are in it as well, but if it's just House members, that's about 40% of the democrat side. I wouldn't be surprised if a good number of the remaining 60% deliberately refrain from active membership in the cpc so as not to reveal their true allegiances to their constituencies.
They call themselves "progressives", but we all know that that's a code word for something else.
The power of the American communists continues to grow.
Slowly, but steadily.
What "territory" have they gained so far that they've later been forced to concede?
How will we stop them, and "take it back"...?
