Will Socialism Sweep the Midterms?
By Michael G. Zey

In recent years, the Democrat party has steadily shifted left, embracing ideas once considered fringe, including open borders, transgenderism, and the Green New Deal.


In abandoning the political center to Trump and his MAGA base, Democrats effectively cost themselves the House in 2022 — and the presidency and Senate in 2024.

With the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential race approaching, analysts expected a centrist correction.  Instead, Democrats have doubled down, integrating a Marxist-oriented doctrine labeled “democratic socialism” into their public identity.


To traditional observers, this defies political logic.  Historically, parties seeking national victory have moderated to appeal to the center, the so-called “broad middle.”

If Jihadis and communists can pass themselves off as socialists or democrats, it will.

Excellent piece at the American Thinker, worth reading.

No. Because let's face it, the Democrats have the backing of big money leftist billionaires. Anything too hardcore, eat-the-rich socialist will be nipped in the bud.
