The DSA Takes Over the Democrat Party › American Greatness
The socialists endured defeat in 2024, but their cause did not die out.
For decades, the Democratic Party exploited—but also restrained—its more liberal, anti-American activists. However, as they have become outrageously progressive, communistic, and violent, they have lost control of themselves, and now they are taking over.
Democratic Party operatives thought they could maintain control, and for a while, they succeeded. The efforts of aggressive progressive partisans succeeded in taking over the DNC in 1972. They promoted progressive George McGovern for president, and the Democratic National Committee embraced some of the most radical left-wing positions.
Thankfully, such communistic madness was duly punished that same year. A relatively popular incumbent, President Richard Nixon, routed the left-wing ideologue and forced the Democrats to regain some sanity if they wanted to win future elections. Nixon listened to the silent majority, restored public order, and brought love of America into the mainstream.
Democrats needed to tap into that sane sentiment to improve their chances of winning in the future. Democratic establishment leaders reasserted control shortly afterwards, then nominated a plain-spoken Evangelical Christian governor from Georgia as their 1976 presidential nominee. They appealed to middle America, providing an ethical alternative to the scandal and incompetence of prior Republican administrations.
