The Marxist Transformation of the Democrat Party
By Steve McCann
Since 1912 and the election of Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat Party has been America’s left-wing political party. Nonetheless, over the decades it has maintained tenuous ties to the basic tenets of the nation’s founding. In the 1930s, beginning with what was a de facto “cult of personality” centered around Franklin Roosevelt, the Democrat party establishment began wallowing in myopic party loyalty. It was that myopic party loyalty extended to Barack Obama together with a psychotic obsession with Donald Trump that has led to the Democrat party evolving into America’s Marxist/socialist political party and the greatest internal threat to the nation as founded in its 250-year history.
By 2020, the far-left or Marxists/socialists had cemented their grip on the party. In that election cycle the socialist wing of the Democrat party gained significant ground compared to previous elections. In 2020, per the Heartland Institute, 266 avowed socialist candidates ran under the Democrat banner for state legislative seats (200), U.S. House seats (60), and U.S. Senate seats (6). Virtually all ran in predominantly Democrat strongholds. More than ninety percent won their races. By comparison in 2018, only 86 Democrat candidates running for state and congressional seats were avowed socialists and of that number fewer than forty percent won their races.
By the summer and fall of 2025, even the legacy media was reporting about the Marxist/socialist takeover of the Democrat party and that the party is “…threatening to bring socialism into America’s mainstream via the two-party system.”
That outcome became inevitable in 2008 when the party went on a blind date with someone they did not know and made no effort to find out about and was responsible for Donald Trump seeking the presidency in 2016.
