If modern history has taught us anything, it’s that one should never align one’s self with zealots. They might be useful for creating momentum and pushing your agenda forward at the time, but eventually they will deem you inadequate to their standards, because frankly, no one is actually capable of meeting their standards.
The political left’s shift into radical communism (and radical Islam) is accelerating rapidly, with a number of incumbent and “centrist” Democrat politicians being unseated by “Democratic Socialists” in the primaries in states like New York. Meanwhile, the far-left is taking over management in deep blue cities across the US.
Rumors suggest that the party is heavily divided and they are unsuccessfully trying to hide it. Zohran Mamdani’s ascension to mayor of NYC was the canary in the coal mine and a sign of things to come. There is a rising tide of militant woke fanatics using the Democrat Party as a vehicle to gain access to positions of political power, and the Dems happily invited them in.
And, with any socialist revolution, those who are viewed as moderates or “less revolutionary” are always targeted for expulsion (or extinction) once the zealots gain enough influence.
Case-in-point, California State Senator Scott Wiener, perhaps one of the most radical (and some would argue one of the most detestable) Democrat politicians in office today, is not safe from the woke mob. Wiener has operated as an agent for LGBT activism and it’s the central pillar of his career. Yet, during a trans pride march in San Francisco last week he was accosted by a gaggle of crazies demanding he leave because of his past support for Israel.
