OPINION:
President Trump in the last couple days and in response to the radical nutjobs elected in New York’s Democrat primaries, called out the party for its embrace of communists and said that despite communism’s unbroken record of failure in all the countries in which its been tried, the low information voters of the left were either too stupid to understand history, too stupid to care about history or too stupid to see the writing on the wall.

He didn’t actually call the Democrats nutjobs or talk about the stupidity of the Democrat Party’s voters. But it was implied.
That’s because these days, no matter how you slice it — socialism — communism — Marxism — progressivism — democratic socialism — Democrat — the common denominator of all is stupidity.
Anyhow. This is what Trump actually said in a Truth Social post: “The communists are finally making their move. I’ve been waiting and preparing for this for a long time. It’s easy to be a communist. All you have to do is say, ‘I’ll give you everything,’ but that means you’re taking it away from others that have earned it.”
He also said separately, “Over thousands of years, that ideology has not worked once.”
Nope. Not once, Well — truthfully, if the goal is poverty, disease, disaster, destruction, devastation and death, then communism has indeed “worked.” It’s worked beautifully. But if it’s to spread the warmth, as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has suggested, when he said during his inauguration that it’s high time Americans lose that rugged individualism and join in the “warmth of collectivism” — if it’s to spread that warmth, then communism, thy grade is perennially “F,’ for fabulously flunking Flunky McFlunk Face failure.
Democrats aren’t event democrats any more.
They are, as Trump has suggested, card-carrying commies.
“The Marxists have nominated some of the most radical candidates to ever run for office, and they’re running for Congress,” House Speaker Mike Johnson warned. “The insurgent left is on the rise.”

They call themselves anything but communists and Marxists. But communists and Marxists are what they are.
Democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, who just won the Democrat primary for a congressional seat, once bragged how she couldn’t find a napkin so she wiped her hands with the American flag. Democratic socialist Claire Valdez, who just won her own Democrat primary for a congressional seat, hasn’t met a tax she wouldn’t want to impose on the rich — nor a border agent she didn’t want to fire. Add in her hostility to all-things-Israel and voila, there’s the recipe for today’s modern Democrat Party. That is to say, democratic socialist. That is to say, communist-slash-Marxist. Former democrat socialist Brad Lander, who just won his own race against Democrats for a congressional seat, said his first act in Congress will be to “vanquish Trump’s fascism” — which tells all there is to know about Lander. But just in case: He, too, wants to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and he, too, thinks rich people are to blame for much of society’s ills (albeit not their money, which he aims to take and redistribute).
It’s crazy times in America — perilous times even. And if Americans don’t awaken to the fact that Democrats are not really democrats but rather boot-stomping, fascist-marching Marxists, well then, more nutjobs of the left will come to office, eventually come to the courts and soon after, the direction of America will be Venezuela. Or Cuba. Or China.
From Trump, on Truth: “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a Communist Country!!!”
With him in the White House, that promise likely holds true.
The same can’t be said for the unknowns to come — and God forbid if there’s a Democrat elected to the White House in 2028. A vote these days for a Democrat is a vote for a communist or Marxist. And since the party won’t acknowledge that, don’t expect the party to change that.
