Democrats excel at the art of semantic sleight of hand. Remember their Inflation Reduction Act, which created record high inflation? Their present oxymoronic double-dealing double-speak is "democratic socialism," which dupes dumbed-down and gimme gimme voters into believing that the collectivist control of all means of production is somehow democratic. According to Democrats, as long as bamboozled ballot punchers vote for socialism's initial implementation, by electing socialists, who promise to give everyone an equal piece of the American pie, as soon as they are in complete control of carving it up for us, then, socialism is democratic. Never mind that centralized control, consecrated in a single governing body, is the antithesis of democracy, it is still democratic, if freely chosen by the hornswoggled, who are willing to henceforth live under its high-handedness.

In its mad dash to centralized control of our country, which will not only transform us into a socialist state, but our governance into one-party rule, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), who are currently attempting to usurp control of the Democrat Party, have released their radical and revolutionary agenda. This militant and menacing manifesto vows to transform our society, draft a new constitution, and turn our representative republic into a socialist state. The DSA’s means to these nefarious ends are even more unnerving and unhinged than the ends themselves. For instance, the DSA wants to abolish our police and prison system, terminate all use of fossil fuels, do away with the Senate and the Electoral College, replace the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary handpicked by a socialist controlled Congress, and seize control of all large corporations and essential industries. In addition, the DSA not only vows to provide every American with free healthcare, childcare, college, and housing, but also with a universal basic income, all of which, by the way, will be paid for by an aggressive wealth tax, despite the fact that there will be no more disproportionate wealth, once the DSA has spread the wealth around to everyone equally, as it promises to do.

There was a time in America when so-called democrat socialists would have been far more likely to be running for the border than for public office. However, that day is long gone in these United States. Today, they’re not only running for office, but getting elected, as well as presently in the process of taking over one of the political parties in our two-party political system. All of this serves as a horrifying harbinger of what’s ahead for an America that’s out of its head, so much so that it is easily snookered by semantic sleight of hand, such as “democratic socialism.”
