With Abdul El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan, the Democratic party has gone from Barack Obama denouncing those who said America deserved 9/11 to campaigning with those who say just that, like Hasan Piker, the left’s most famous podcaster. As the political philosopher Jerry Garcia wrote: “What a long, strange trip it’s been.”
El-Sayed is the latest success endorsed and campaigned for by the Marxist-Islamist axis of the Democratic Socialists of America. This juggernaut is proving unstoppable in taking over the Democratic party.
A generation ago, a real political philosopher, Harry Jaffa, pointed out: That with the fall of the Berlin Wall, utopian communism would no longer be seen as simply a threat from abroad—but a more “deadly and dangerous phase” here at home could follow.
Quite right—a wall can stop people, but not their ideas. That enemy is here, and potent. The two-party system is now looking Republican on one hand and Marxist-Islamists on the other. We cannot simply wish this away or ignore it.
