America’s Threat: the Democrat Party is Broken
Democrats seek socialism without recognition of the consequences. No matter all the successes of America, they have come to hate America.

The collapse of the historic platform and candidates of the Democratic Party is stunning.
Their social ideology is not just radical but also opposed to all concepts introduced, tested, and proven over hundreds of years across the entire World. It seems they have lost their minds.
Capitalism works. Socialism doesn’t. It’s simple and obvious. Nothing else has shown promise.
As bad as the proven, flawed, failed ideology is, the list of political candidates and leadership that continues to get worse with nasty, despicable, criminal people devoid of basic human values, let alone completely absent of the spirit of America’s glory, growth, and greatness.
Consider the short list: Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Stacey Adams, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Tim Walsh, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Zohran Mamdani, Michele Wu, Karen Bass, JB Pritzsker and then the latest pathetic examples of Graham Platner in Maine and Adam Hamawy in NY, the latter two representative of the worst qualities anyone would expect as candidates for Congress or State government.
It seems easy to find so many incompetent, radical candidates to run for state or national office in America. It really is incredible.
What is common about them?
They have no problem with many crazy ideas based on DEI, Woke, and Race concepts: continued belief in open borders/mass migration, NGO’s having billions of Federal tax dollars that is spent on bogus programs, millions of tax dollars which are routed back to fund Democrat campaigns, control government with no filibuster, gender mutilation for children without parent approval, no charter schools, politicized teachers unions, stacking the Supreme Court, no voter ID, use of mail-in ballots by illegals, non-citizens, and dead people, anti-ICE and law enforcement, emphasis on social justice and LGBTQxyz, and then they believe in treating criminals are society’s victims.
Normally, this list would be associated with a fascist organization – exactly what the so-called Democrats scream about – and believe the Trump Administration is full of fascist autocrats, which justifies their hate and TDS.
They believe in having the government control our lives with “free stuff” that makes voters dependent on them, requires you to follow their rules, and means less freedom. When you have a dependency, you become lazy, don’t take risks, and lose discipline and initiative. In the end, the rulers decide, and the quality of life will decline.
It will.
We are learning that the level of corruption with FRAUD is mind-numbing. It has reached insane levels across all States, but the most egregious outright theft is in the Blue states of CA, WA, IL, MA, WS, MD, and OR. Taxpayer funds are being wasted, routed to the wrong people, and even sent overseas.
It is now a culture of thieves that has exceeded hundreds of billions of dollars. The insanity of this does not make the thieves think twice when millions – literally hundreds of millions of dollars – are stolen from various programs intended to help autistic children, or medical aid for the elderly, or COVID relief funds for the needy, or fake nursery schools, and so much more.
Apparently, it is easy to commit such fraud since the Democratic administrations and leadership in these states either participate in or ignore the schemes. Since everyone, from Somalis to American Indians to Chinese to newly arrived illegal immigrants (new voters) from many countries, from Afghanistan to Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, Vietnam, and Cuba, to name a few, somehow learns how to set up these schemes to steal government funds.
The fraud being uncovered across the USA is horrifying and unsustainable, and the total costs are still climbing into the stratosphere. Fraud on this level is an EXISTENTIAL threat to America. We have heard of the billions being stolen by illegal immigrant Somalis in Minnesota, or the NGOs in California redirecting funds to fake organizations and self-serving fraudsters.
They grab the headline news. But it goes much deeper.
Yes, it is crazy and far-reaching. Here is just one specific example: “Native American shamans in California are earning $826 a day in federal Medicaid funds to perform drum circles and spiritual dances aimed at treating drug addicts. It’s part of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s embrace of “indigenous knowledge” as alternative medicine, and there’s little evidence that it’s working, the Free Beacon’s Andrew Kerr reports.”
Think that is exceptional? No way… try this: “The far-left Oregon county that includes Portland spent millions of dollars on race-based housing programs in 2024—only to find that the programs were actually reaching fewer minorities. County officials downplayed the data by arguing that “lived experience” mattered as much as measurable outcomes, our Aaron Sibarium reports. The $17.6 million that Multnomah County’s homeless services department distributed to “culturally specific service providers”—organizations that cater to specific racial groups—marked a 91 percent increase from the previous year. But more than 80 percent of the department’s programs later reported a decline or no change in the diversity of their clientele.
How is that possible? Someone must show them how to do it.
It turns out that dozens of the federally funded NGOs provide not only cash and other services, but they also tutor illegals on a wide range of capabilities to raid programs from social services to all kinds of welfare benefits like SNAP, and more. Many of these illegal immigrants get more pay per month than retired citizens get from Social Security.
Aggravating all the fraud are the lists of state and city actions that prevent law enforcement from achieving accountability and preventing the squandering of tax monies. California recently passed a law to prevent investigations by journalists like the maverick Nick Shirley. Shirley is the 23-year-old who uncovered tens of millions in fraudulent organizations run by Somalis in Minnesota and later in California, with numerous fake services that collected millions of dollars.
The Democratic Party continues to support this insanity, apparently relying on participating voters, or ignorant voters, or careless voters.
This suggests a large number of Americans have advanced to a point of self-flagellation, TDS, hatemongers, and social suicide. The challenge remains: whether America wants to continue creating the most wealth of any nation in World history through meritocracy and capitalism, or succumb to the socialist/communist promises of free medical care and other free stuff, reparations, equal incomes, equity, rent control, and all kinds of government-sponsored life support. To do that, they have to take money from those who succeed enough to pay for all social programs. Make the millionaires/billionaires pay for it all.
We all know that it will work for a short time before the money makers are gone. Once they leave, they don’t come back. This is not new. We have seen it happen before. But, again, will we ignore it all and selfishly enjoy the blessings of socialism before it all collapses into a totalitarian society?
In fact, we are seeing it happen now.
Those who are risk-takers in society, who start and fund new businesses, are driven by personal success. When that is taken away, they leave.
Who is leaving Blue States, and how many are relocating to Red States? They are leaving by the tens of thousands for the States of Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, Nevada, and Idaho.
California used to be the state with the most Fortune 500 corporations, with its current count down to 56. California is losing many companies, and Texas is now the Fortune 500 leader, with 57 and climbing.
In the last several years, New York has lost nearly 900 companies and $50 Billion in income. Florida gained 350 of those companies from New York. Texas took 200, and North Carolina took 150.
How many professional sports teams are leaving? Consider what is happening in Chicago, LA, San Francisco/Oakland, and Kansas City.
How safe do many citizens feel in Blue States and Cities? Consider the crime rates in Chicago, NYC, Philadelphia, LA, San Fran, Oakland, St Louis, Portland, and Seattle. It is not just crime; how safe do citizens feel in California from their homes burning down? Or drug use by the highest level of homelessness and illegal immigrants?
Organizations like BLM, ANTIFA, SPLC, the SPLC-funded KKK, ActBlue, and Alex Soros reject our Founding Fathers. They are promoting the destruction of the US Constitution and our historical way of life, from replacing a meritocracy to create a DEI autocracy, to disrespect the laws they don’t like, to reorganize institutions to be under the control of a select few elites, and to use our history with slavery to create racial division and justify revolution based on our so-called “original sin” (forget that it was about 500,000 whites who died fighting to erase slavery while the Democrat Party at that time supported slavery).
The Left Liberal Progressive Socialist Democratic ideology is a massive fraud itself. It is a dangerous movement that will only result in the harmful decline of all Americans and their ability to pursue prosperity and happiness as they see fit. It is the end of individual freedom and the pursuit of happiness on our own terms.
Believe this or ignore it. What am I missing?
The stakes could not be higher.
P.S. When the Blue States decline into mini-societies with massive numbers on welfare, increased debt, few jobs, no innovation, and no hope of change, they will look at the Red States with unreserved envy and expect support from them, with cries of guilt, greed, and threats of violence. This will demonstrate the eventual risk for America: Blue States against Red States. Of course, all this will be aggravated by the rise of Islam, which has its own agenda to gain control, replace Judeo-Christian law with Sharia law, and force conversion to a radical practice of religion that is also part government, part judicial law, and compels adherence to a system of society that has not contributed positively to cultural and economic growth and innovation. In fact, it is a violent organization that hates infidels and personal freedoms.
