The Socialists Are Coming... for the Democrats
Kurt Schlichter
Scratch a Democrat, and you’ll find a communist underneath their lizard skin. Last week’s elections in New York City just confirmed what we already knew. The leftists are ascendant, and the alleged moderates — who were also leftists — are very upset. Think of this as like #MeToo. Remember that? That campaign against gropey, rapey people wasn’t really a fight about gropey, rapey people. Democrats like gropey, rapey people. Younger, primarily hard-left women just pretended not to in order to gain a political advantage over older establishment figures within the Democrat universe. #MeToo was simply about younger leftists trying to take power from older leftists.
This neo-communist uprising is similar. You have a calcified, geriatric Democrat establishment that has been sitting in power for two generations. The Boomers held on and essentially kept the Gen X folks from taking their turn, and have continued sitting in power and denying the millennials their turn—how old is Nancy Pelosi anyway? This leftist stuff is a way to chip the crusties out of their concrete-encased sinecures. And it’s working. In New York City, the Democrat incumbents who were tossed out were huge power brokers. These were big-deal Democrats. And they got creamed by a bunch of Third Worldy commies who managed to take advantage of the dismal participation rates in primary elections thanks to their heavy organizing and focused forces. Victory goes to those who show up, and the commies showed up.
When you look at this as a power struggle, rather than a purely ideological struggle, things begin to make more sense. Also, look where it happened. The pinkos who surfed to victory on the Marxist wave were in some of the most left-wing districts in the country. We have yet to see any of these pinko types actually beat a moderate Democrat in a blue or purple state. Now, Graham Platner, when he’s not busy touching himself in an outhouse or fantasizing about performing unnatural acts upon a burglar, is one of these. The dummkopf with the totenkopf is running against the rigorously normal Susan Collins, and he’s probably going to lose. Maine just isn’t inner-city New York City. There are a few of these folks running in places like Montana, but it’s not going to work. There’s no appetite in normal America for aggressive Marxists. That’s why this is all really more of a power struggle between generations within the Democrat Party.
