DSA commies aim to take over the Democratic Party — just as they captured . . . the DSA itself​


This is the part those in the cult don't get. Believe this guy for Christ's sake.

How worried should Democrats be about the Democratic Socialists of America?

As someone who knows the DSA inside out, I can say with authority: They should be very worried indeed.

I was a DSA member for years and served in local leadership.

But today’s DSA — illiberal, dogmatic and hostile to traditional American political norms — is not the organization I once knew.

It includes disciplined, radicalized networks that have methodically expanded their power over the last decade in pursuit of extremist goals.

As the Democratic Party grapples with the DSA’s growing influence and extremism, it would do well to recognize that the same dynamic underway now — first accommodation, then capture, then surrender to insurgent radicals — already played out on a smaller scale within the DSA itself.

And there’s only one defense: out-organizing it.

For decades, the DSA was mostly composed of a cohort of aging Boomers, remnants from the group’s founding in 1982.

It prioritized open debate and political tolerance.

Following in the tradition of founder Michael Harrington, members viewed the DSA not as a revolutionary vanguard but as a reformist bridge to mainstream labor-liberalism; they prioritized parliamentary process and pluralism.

But in the mid-2010s, the character of the organization began to change.

Interseting article, knox. Unfortunately, what I didn't find was evidence the Dem Party has been "captured." ...sounds intense, though. I DID find/read one former DSA member arguing thats what could happen if moderates don't push back. Sound more like a prediction...not it's already happened.

You seem emotional. Do you feel emotional when you read these articles? What did you do for fun this weekend?

Well, I respectfully disagree. Covering up a politician's decline isn't what I described.

A fanatic is someone with excessive, unquestioning zeal (think huge Bama fan!). A cult centers on devotion to a person or ideology that discourages independent thought and demands loyalty above principles.

If Democrats tried to shield Biden's decline, criticize 'em for it. I won't defend it...and actually didn't. But thats an argument about protecting an incumbent...NOT evidence of a cult.

The question I asked still stands: Which movement more closely resembles a personality cult (based on Websters)?

That may be true. There has absolutely been hysteria on both sides actually...just look at this boad. But my concern isn't rooted in MSNBC or social media...it's rooted in my faith (which I've made no secret of).

It's hard watchng Christianity become intertwined w/ loyalty to a politician to the point where you can't even critise him because it winds up treated as an attack on Christianity itself. When Trump is portrayed as chosen by God then pastors start excusing behavior they would have condemned in anyone else.

We'll just have to respectfully disagree because the first four items you listed can be easily applied to the Biden coverup. That was all I was saying.

I added the historical point that the biggest, deadliest personality cult in history ended with a coverup of Mao's senility while other people made the decisions. That is what happened with Biden - the difference being Biden's senility was revealed to the whole world during the June 24 debate with Trump. The coverup was completely exposed even to those who wanted to believe it didn't exist.

that's the problem, he's not. there are many many more like him.

I'd pay no attention to those type either. It's never Christ like to preach hate (or Death to America).

When the latter seem determined to develop nuclear weapons, that makes them interesting in my view.

LOL...... If you cannot recognize that the democratic party is the party of division and hate, that's on you. You are part of the problem. Part of the cult.

Congratulations!!

Elaborate. How are the democrats divisive? Because they elected a black man president? That’s the real reason you think that.
