The rise of hipster ‘Democratic Socialists’

Disinformation. Managed opposition. Suppression of truth, facts, and history. These are some of the staples of the field manual of the latest installment of alleged ‘democratic socialists’ in our time.

Bloodthirsty, disingenuous, and carnivorous are also fine words to describe the latest embodiment of socialism for mentally and emotionally damaged people.

Hipster socialism, circa 2026, is replete with contradictions. Ironies abound with the so-called democratic socialism that Bernie Sanders, other millionaires, and opportunists profess.

Making a lucrative career for oneself by calling for the government to redistribute the wealth of people who work for a living is opportunistic and thieving. Albeit preying and profitable, democratic socialism is deemed for ‘the people.’ Globalists know that it would be a mistake to call their power-grab anything else. This is the lie that hooks the unsuspecting – people who are ripe for being used by globalists. Classic socialism/communism refers to these hapless people as useful idiots.

In the estimation of socialists, being for the people and for ‘democracy’ makes the self-serving ends of socialism justify the means. The violence that socialists and communists have wrought on the world, radical ideological despots contend, is acceptable because they are ‘democratic’ and for the people.

Socialism’s concept of the people is a vague abstraction that serves multiple purposes. When will people learn? When schools return to teaching the truth of socialism/communism.

Alleged socialists like Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and their ilk who enter politics leave office as millionaires. Why is that? How is that for irony?

Another contradiction and irony of socialism that can only gain traction with illiterate college graduates and people who crawl out of high school is that socialism already controls American life, culture, and economic reality.

Americans cannot take a deep breath without being bombarded with vague and abstract notions of sex, gender, race, class, ‘the environment,’ and rich and poor. Through indoctrination in schools, disinformation, and the suppression of truth, Americans are coerced into accepting social-political mendacity that goes against the hard and biting truths of human reality. This is the crux of the alleged explosion of mental illness today. This is also a testament to the power of indoctrination and brainwashing.

Social engineers of hatred and resentment have built the scaffolding of late postmodern socialism. Just don’t tell the latte-sipping, electric vehicle-driving denizens of hipster socialism. These people are conditioned by globalist masterminds who, like James Bond villains, hide behind the scenes.

Socialism in its many varieties has controlled the world from the start of the twentieth century. Its stealth portal and entry into Western culture and civilization have been liberalism.

Socialism/communism has been called many things: the New Deal, Fabian Socialism, Christian Social Democrats, Greens, Democratic Socialism, the Welfare State, Nannyism, Internationalism, Globalism, and a slew of other self-serving names. The result is always the same: power-grab and control of people by radical ideologue elites.

One reason that socialism can successfully infiltrate all aspects of life in late postmodernity is because socialism is predatory; socialism scavenges off capitalism.

‘A perfectly normal 2 million NEW votes?’ Questions mount over Texas election data as GOP demands answers

After Democrats took hold of Texas on Election Day, many Texans are raising questions of whether the election was fair and if fraud took place.

Numerous irregularities in Texas’ voter totals are causing many across the state to wonder if illegal votes were cast in the Texas election.

Election observers have noted some highly unusual facts about this year’s midterm results in Texas. First, Gina Hinojosa, the state’s new governor-elect, received a whopping 1.7 million more votes than Democrat gubernatorial candidates Beto O’Rourke in 2022 and Lupe Valdez did in 2018. James Talarico, the state’s new Democrat senator-elect, received nearly as many votes as President Donald Trump did in 2024.

In 2018, Gov. Greg Abbott received 4.6 million votes, while his Democrat challenger, Valdez, received 3.5 million. In 2022, Abbott received 4.4 million, while O’Rourke won 3.5 million. However, in 2026, it appears that Democrats gained 1.7 million votes, as Abbott received nearly the same number of votes, 4.5 million, while Hinojosa received 5.2 million.

Additionally, in the U.S. Senate race, Talarico received 5.45 million votes, compared to Republican Ken Paxton’s 4.25 million. Trump received a total of 6.39 million votes from Texas during the 2024 presidential race, and Talarico was only 940,000 short of that entire number during a midterm election—when voters are less likely to turn out.

Former Texas state Senate candidate Joseph Trahan is among those pointing out the odd circumstances of the midterm election, sharing that 2 million new votes “only came from 5 counties.”

“Mayes Middleton was ahead by 647,903 votes in the 249 of the 254 Texas counties. Then BOOM…2 Million NEW VOTERS showed up Democrat Nathan Johnson in Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Travis & Bexar counties that had NEVER voted before,” Trahan wrote on X, citing unofficial secretary of state numbers.

Trahan then broke down the statewide numbers in the Texas attorney general race, where Republican Mayes Middleton received 4.5 million votes, and Democrat Nathan Johnson received 5.1 million.

The Democrats Push To Put Government In Charge Of AI

The Democrats have come out on top in the November 3 US midterm elections, and some of them wasted little time in declaring what they would like to do first: take on the tech industry and put the government in charge of AI development.

The comments started appearing on X within a day of the election, with Rep. Yassamin Ansari posting, “Top of the Democratic agenda on day 1 needs to be a pause on advanced AI development, regulation of this out of control industry, and a ban on artificial superintelligence.”

A member of the House Democratic leadership, Rep. Ted Lieu, also quickly got down to business, announcing that the new Congress would be holding hearings on AI, and that “reasonable guardrails” would be introduced around the tech.

Lieu criticized Republicans for allegedly deciding “to let the AI industry run wild.”

It’s the type of regulation that is the problem, not its quantity. The “guardrails” Lieu and others want to put in place are those that would give the authorities the power to decide who can build and use software, and under what conditions.

That is the same type of “regulation” that is present in the Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act, introduced in the House by Rep. Greg Casar, and in the Senate by Bernie Sanders. The bill is essentially a licensing scheme that would give a newly created cabinet Department of Artificial Intelligence the power to decide which companies can build “advanced” AI.

“Advanced” is defined as AI trained on at least 10^25 operations. Those allowed to build such AI would have to obtain a charter from the department, and then give its secretary access to “systems, staff, and physical premises.”

Flagged systems would be cut off from the internet. Executives who recklessly violate the terms of the bill could end up in prison for up to 20 years, and if a company’s charter is revoked, its assets can be seized.

Reclaim The Net has been tracking this bill and we noted that, “Publishing code and model weights is a form of expression, and this bill puts prior government approval in front of it.”

In the wake of the election, Casar described the results as “the early tremor of a much bigger AI earthquake upending American politics.”

‘Gayest’ Member of Congress Robert Garcia Compares Himself to Murderous Clown Who Targets Children

Democrat Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) thought it would be wise to compare himself to Pennywise, the fictional character in Stephen King’s horror novel It, to showcase how “low” he is willing to go against his opponents.

Garcia, who once described himself as the “gayest” member of Congress, made the “joke” days after the midterm elections, posting an image of the character with the caption, “when they go low this is me.”

Commenters on X were quick to point to the creepy absurdity of comparing oneself to a murderous entity presented as a clown who targets and terrorizes children, luring them into a sewer to eat them, feeding on their fear

“So, you’re a murderous clown waiting to take school age boys to a sewer… and we thought Swalwell was a perv,” one user wrote.

“The most honest thing coming out of the Democrat Party… A self proclaimed demonic clown!” another proclaimed.

“You become a clown that preys on children?” another asked. “That tracks.”

“Feels like you guys didn’t think this one through,” another said.

Indeed, Garcia made his declaration during an appearance at the LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference last year, telling the crowd, “I am one of 12 LGBTQ+ members of the U.S. House right now, but I am the gayest of all of us.”

He added, “I do consider myself the absolute gayest.”

Garcia’s failed attempt at humor in the form of Pennywise comes as some begin to realize that the Democrats may not be prioritizing quite what they said they would as they come into power. For instance, the Congressional Equality Caucus last week opted to celebrate what they described as the “Gayest Congress in American History” after the Democrat Party’s sweep of wins across the country in the midterm election.

“The American people have made their voices heard,” the Equality Caucus wrote on social media, with a photo of a rainbow behind the U.S. Capitol Dome. “The 120th Congress will officially be the GAYEST Congress in history! (that we know of).”

“Let’s get to work,” the leftists added, adding emojis of the American flag, LGBT flag, and transgender flag.

Crazy Dem Rep. Robert Garcia Raises Eyebrows as He Reveals THE REAL REASON Why He Wants to Go After the Trump Administration

The Democratic Party’s loudest mouth in recent days has inadvertently made a damning admission that is sparking online attention.

As TGP readers know, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, wasted little time threatening the Trump administration following his party’s victories in last Tuesday’s midterm elections.

“LAWYER UP,” Garcia wrote on X, signaling that Democrats are preparing an aggressive campaign of congressional investigations against President Donald Trump and his senior officials.

Garcia, who is poised to chair the powerful Oversight Committee when Democrats take control of the House in January, has already been preparing investigations into the president, his family and his administration.

This is even though he cannot name a single crime that new Chief of Staff Stephen Miller or other Trump officials have committed.

Now, viral footage has emerged showing Garcia, a gay man originally from Peru, making a revealing remark at Crooked Con over the weekend that shows why he actually wants to try to get Team Trump.

“We can’t forget about these folks that are causing harm,” Garcia told the Crooked Con audience. “Maybe it’s because I’m gay, but pettiness is a thing.”

“We’re not going to forget these crimes.” I’m mad, you know.”

‘Gay pettiness.’ That’s definitely a new one and very insulting to the gay community.

Democrats Set to Reject President Trump’s $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget Request

Most Democrats were already opposed to an increase and are set to reject the requested $1.5 trillion defense budget, Bloomberg reported Sunday.

Now, after their party won majorities in the U.S. House and Senate during the midterm elections, Democrats are “signaling they will block any efforts to push it forward,” the outlet continued:

At the same time, Republican lawmakers returning to the lame-duck session before the new Congress is seated in January may not be able to muster the support or political will to ram through the massive defense spending package, especially amid the Pentagon’s unpopular war against Iran that cost many of them their jobs.

“We must push for the development of a more realistic and sustainable approach to our national security — one that does not require a defense budget in excess of $1 trillion or one paid for with draconian cuts to critical domestic programs,” Representative Adam Smith of Washington, the incoming chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a statement after the election.

President Trump said in January the 2027 military budget should be bumped to $1.5 trillion, Breitbart News reported.

He explained the proposed increase would support what he called the “Dream Military” that would ensure America stayed safe and secure:

He linked the feasibility of the higher budget figure to revenue generated from tariffs, claiming that “tremendous numbers” from tariff income had made the larger figure viable. “Because of Tariffs, and the tremendous Income that they bring, amounts being generated, that would have been unthinkable in the past … we are able to easily hit the $1.5 Trillion Dollar number,” Trump wrote. He added that this approach would also allow for “pay[ing] down Debt” and providing a “substantial Dividend to moderate income Patriots within our Country.”

Trump later said there was an interest in increasing defense spending, adding that states should handle more of the domestic spending, according to Breitbart News.

“We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care. It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare — all these individual things. They can do it on a state basis. You can’t do it on a federal,” he noted.

“We are delivering on President Trump’s commitment to expand American military dominance for decades to come. Previous administrations underinvested in our military while our enemies grew stronger and more dangerous, so we are now changing the game,” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said upon release of the president’s fiscal year 2027 budget. “This budget builds this arsenal without compromising readiness that will ensure we remain the world’s premier fighting force, we protect the homeland, and we create peace through strength now and into the future.”

A CNN exit poll suggested Tuesday that a majority of midterm voters said the Iran War and high gas prices factored into their vote, and President Trump acknowledged Wednesday that the conflict with Iran cost Republicans votes in the midterm elections.

Democrats, Please Take Note: Peace Is Good Politics

Voters across the United States were loud and clear on Tuesday in their historic drubbing of Trumpism. The election was a decisive rejection of Trump’s war on Iran and its staggering costs at home. While savoring their victory and the historic opportunity to restore America’s constitutional order, the Democrats should take the anti-war message of the election to heart, because they suffered the same verdict two years ago, when voters rejected the Biden administration’s wars in Ukraine and Gaza. Last week Israeli voters rejected Netanyahu’s reckless wars, and European voters are also rejecting parties that prolong the Ukraine War. The message of voters is the same everywhere: diplomacy is safer, more effective, and trillions of dollars cheaper than war.

On election night Trump conceded to Fox News, “I think a part of it was Iran.” The next day Vice President JD Vance was far blunter, posting on X: “The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night… everyone knows why we lost.” In the AP Voter Poll, about 60 percent of voters said the decision to use military force against Iran was wrong, and about 90 percent called the cost of living a crucial or major factor in their vote.

The war and the cost of living were of course utterly intertwined. Gasoline prices, around $2.80 per gallon before the war began on February 28, had risen by about 55 percent by mid-May and reached a monthly average of $4.43 in September. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed from below 4 percent before the war to above 5 percent in the autumn, and the Pentagon sought more than $200 billion in supplemental war funding. Every family with a mortgage, a car loan or a credit card balance suffered from the war.

Voters everywhere are sending the same message: peace through diplomacy.

The first duty of the new Congress is to restore its constitutional authority over war and its power of the purse to ensure that US forces are not sent back into combat in Iran or anywhere else on the whim of a president and the behest of domestic or foreign lobbies. Trump must of course refrain from restarting the war, which was never remotely necessary or justified. Remember that on February 28, the day the US and Israel launched the war, Oman’s foreign minister, who was mediating the U.S.-Iran talks, had said that a deal was within reach.

The Democrats should not imagine that the anti-war lesson applies only to Republicans. Kamala Harris lost in 2024 because voters held the Biden administration responsible for the costs of its own wars. The energy shock that followed the escalation of the Ukraine war in 2022 drove up inflation, and gasoline topped $5 per gallon for the first time in June 2022. Biden twice rejected negotiations that could have ended the conflict: in December 2021, when his administration refused to negotiate on NATO enlargement in response to Russia’s draft security treaty, and in April 2022, when the Istanbul talks were abandoned at the behest of the US and UK.

The Gaza genocide also cost the Democrats directly. Among Americans who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 but not for Harris in 2024, 29 percent named ending Israel’s violence in Gaza as the main factor in their decision, the most frequently cited issue. The party’s voters have moved far ahead of its leaders. A New York Times/Siena poll in May 2026 found that roughly three-quarters of Democratic voters oppose US military and economic assistance to Israel.

Politicians Come And Go… The Machinery Of Oppression Remains

“There is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame?” V for Vendetta

A revolution can topple a tyrant without dismantling tyranny.

An election can replace a president without curbing the powers of the presidency.

A new political majority can inherit the instruments of repression and adapt them to their own purposes.

In other words, what good is a political change if the weapons of oppression merely change hands?

After a midterm election that saw billions of dollars spent on political advertising and a Democratic wave sweep Republicans out of power in Congress, Americans have once again been promised a new direction for the country.

The voters have spoken. The balance of power in Washington has shifted. A new Congress will have the opportunity to rein in an imperial presidency and hold the government accountable for its abuses.

But the question that must rightfully be asked is: what comes next?

Will Congress finally rein in the surveillance state, the militarization of the police, the detention machinery, the endless wars, the government spending spree and the corporate interests that profit from the American police state? Or will the politicians settle back into their comfortable routines while the government machine keeps right on running?

This is where Hollywood’s dystopian warnings become disturbingly relevant.

Twenty years ago, V for Vendetta offered moviegoers a terrifying glimpse of a future in which government surveillance was everywhere, dissent was dangerous, the media served as an instrument of state propaganda, and the promise of safety had become an excuse for stripping people of their freedoms.

It was supposed to be a warning about how easily a free people can become accustomed to living without freedom – and how little good it does to replace the people in power if the machinery of tyranny remains intact.

Two decades later, the twentieth-anniversary screenings coinciding with Guy Fawkes Day – a pivotal day in the film’s plot – on November 5 remind us that the questions the film raises about freedom, fear and government power have lost none of their urgency or relevance.

Released in 2006 and set in a future Britain ruled by Norsefire, a fascist regime, V for Vendetta depicts a country in which the government knows all, sees all, controls the airwaves, and promises safety and security above all. Behind those promises lies a machinery of surveillance, detention, censorship and intimidation. People who refuse to conform can be branded enemies of the state. Others simply disappear.

Sounds painfully familiar, doesn’t it?

Election Worker Claims Republican Votes for Andy Biggs Were Discarded During Ballot Adjudication — Over 54% of Adjudicated Ballots Flagged as Overvotes

A stunning message from an inside adjudicator at the Maricopa County Ballot Tabulation Center (BTC) is raising fresh red flags about the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial race, where Democrat Katie Hobbs was declared the winner over Trump-endorsed Republican Rep. Andy Biggs.

Rachel Alexander, a journalist for Townhall and Arizona Insiders (and a former Maricopa County elections attorney and prosecutor), shared the account on X. The source, identifying as a working adjudicator, described ongoing anomalies targeting Republican ballots.

Alexander wrote on X:

“Nothing to see here, and the MaRICOpa County Supervisors wouldn’t let anyone investigate anyway. I received this message from someone:

Hi. I am working as an adjudicator in the Maricopa County BTC. There are and continue to be anomalies in adjudication. What we are seeing is Republican ballots that were voted Biggs but also voted Hobbs. With an X through the Biggs vote. This takes the ballot to adjudication as an over vote. Adjudicators will then remove the Biggs vote because the X shows voter intent to change their mind. The vote goes to Hobbs. We have also been seeing votes for Biggs and Lombardo together. Creating another over vote. Only this time the Biggs vote isnt counted and neither is Lombardo. This is how they stole votes and shaved votes imho. The anomalies also appear on Prop 144 and others. There is something going on with adjudication. The ballots were stored in a hallway that wasn’t secure, boxes an…”

After Bibi’s Unity Plea, Israel’s President Gives His Rival First Shot At Power

Israeli President Isaac Herzog has given opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot the first chance to form a government, a setback for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose bloc finished 14 seats short of his rival’s backers. Herzog announced the decision Saturday night, a day earlier than expected, according to the Associated Press.

The timing was pointed. AP reported that the announcement came shortly after Netanyahu released a video calling for a “national unity government” and warning against “hastily swearing in a government with terrorist supporters,” an apparent reference to the Arab-led parties that now sit at the center of the count.

Eisenkot, a former military chief who led the challengers’ bloc, did not take the offer. His Yashar party answered on X, and AP said it urged Likud members to disavow their alliance with “radical parties,” an apparent reference to the harder-right partners in Netanyahu’s religious-nationalist base. Eisenkot himself said, as relayed on X, that “those who have divided and torn apart Israeli society from within only mention the word ‘unity’ when they realize their time in office is coming to an end.”
