Trump Outrage Watch: Blame it on the Democratic Socialists!
Unpopular as he is (The New York Times’s average of 910 polls shows that only 38 percent of Americans approve of his overall job performance and other polls show that only 24% approve of his handling of the economy and inflation), Donald Trump has been trying every strategy he can think of to keep Republicans in charge of Congress this year. Lately, he’s adopted one of the most historically disreputable: McCarthyism.
“The danger within” being worse than any from foreign adversaries is a long-standing Trump scare construction and “far left radicals” has been a specific label for Democrats of all stripes. But recently, with the rise of Democratic Socialists (both in some state primaries and especially in the media), he’s been branding the Democratic Party as “Communist” and has said “they will kill you” and “they will take away your churches.”
It’s doubtful that Trump can make Communism the dominant political issue in America that it was in in the 1950s, when Sen. Joseph McCarthy falsely charged that the US Government was deeply penetrated by agents of the Soviet Union.
Most Americans don’t know what Democratic Socialists advocate—and there is a considerable disparity among them. Some favor defunding the police, abolishing most immigration limits, allowing trans females to compete in girls’ and women’s’ sports, are anti-Semitic and try to silence dissenters from hard-left ideas. Most others merely favor higher taxes on the rich, a more generous welfare state and admire the demonstrated high happiness levels in Scandinavia.
