Blog # 7 Reasons Why Voting Red is the Right Decision for America
By John Shoemaker, September 2026
7 Reasons Why Voting Red is the Right Decision for America…the Republicans must win against the Democrats/Socialists/Fascist/Communists/Marxists/Islamist to protect the life in America that has developed since the Founding Fathers risked everything to start a new model of government never before implemented.
Excellent Video: Facebook . A Communist leader gives insight.
It is now the model of success for all humanity and must not be torn apart due to lazy, ignorant elites, supported by a biased media, who will control individual lives to their benefit, as has been demonstrated in Germany, Russia, Italy, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, and so many other countries around the world, from Russia to China, from Iran to Vietnam.
With a chaotic time in US politics, it becomes quite clear that America must vote for the Republican Party, whether you love or hate Trump. America’s culture, way of life, institutions, and everyone's future safety are at stake.
This is not hyperbole.
1. EXTREMISM in GOVERNANCE
The DSA or socialist extremists are not to be underestimated. They are taking over the Democratic Party even as the elders are clueless. The party is morphing into an ideology that wants to remove the Senate, change the House to a Parliament that the Courts report to, and gut the military. It does not stop there. They want to own corporations, end private property, implement national rent control, and dramatically increase taxes on any and all wealth, as they determine. They will do this under the guise of free stuff: welfare, cash, schools, transportation, childcare, health. Anything to buy votes for those who are not able to work, have no skills, have no interest in self-support, but are supported by those who pay taxes. If you want evidence of Left Liberal Progressive Socialism failing, don’t just look at the horrific results in Cuba and Venezuela; look at California. That state is the worst performer involving all of the following: homelessness, all types of new/old taxes, gas prices, fire prevention, electricity costs, net negative migration out of state by tax-paying Americans, loss of wealthy and billionaires due to taxes and regulations, loss of major corporations, drug use, education and grades, crimes, business-unfriendly policies driving negative growth of opportunities, and levels of fraud that are mind-blowing. On Sept 27, Governor Newsom signed into law that it is illegal to require ID to vote: (19) James Woods on X: "Gavin Newsom signed a law making it illegal to identify yourself as a voter. https://t.co/hgZVAX0s8h" / X The point is to protect non-citizens and illegal immigrants and set it up for them to vote, which will enable one-party control of the state to continue without opposition in the future.
2. ECONOMIC SOCIALISM
Unless you are young, ignorant, or lazy, the appearance of the free stuff of socialism is the irresistible bait that beckons them. Millions fell for it, including those in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the USSR, Russia, Africa, Venezuela, China, Cuba, and so many more, now including Canada! History shows the inevitable slide from democracy to socialism to communism. The State owns everything important, and freedom is slowly drained until it is gone. There will be no private property. Most of our ignorant folks in the US have never been outside the US to see it firsthand or to live under the guidance, restrictions, and harshness of socialist/communist societies. Worse, without freedom of choice there is little incentive to build, create anything, innovation dies, risk taking is not allowed, growth is poor or forced for a time until it collapses. Socialism is a failed system because it tells you what to do, whether you like it or not, instead of letting individuals pursue interests and happiness to meet personalized goals.
Why are nearly ALL the major life-changing innovations made in the US? This includes everything from electricity, missiles, reusable rockets, the Internet, Personal computers, Mainframe computers, and cell/mobile phones to superintelligence, satellite communications, aircraft, software apps, and more. Other countries either buy our inventions or steal and copy them.
America has start-ups issuing stock via IPO’s. You don't see that in most countries around the world. The EU's growth is stagnant. Socialist policies have had horrible effects on social order, growth, and safety. Billions are spent in the US on research & development. That is why the US is an economic leader.
3. Nanny State
Capitalism has proven successful on a scale never before achieved in human history. But more and more, Democrats/Socialists appeal for the creation of the nanny state where the government takes care of the people on their terms and at the discretion of the leaders.
Why? Because many want an easy road without having to work and would rather be taken care of by the government. They have no spirit for pioneering, self-reliance, meritorious achievement, independence, or self-determination.
Socialists enable the curse of demotivated people who do not excel at anything but would rather subsist at a minimum level. It destroys hope, individual persistence, ambition, risk-taking, and the pursuit of excellence to achieve wealth through meritocracy. Without merit-based rewards, all desire for overachievement is lost.
The DSA wants free healthcare for all. Aside from unsustainable costs, we have Canadians coming to US hospitals for medical treatment even as there is agreement that Obamacare is a failed system due to costs. Why? We have the expertise & quality of care that attracts people from around the world. Both parties have failed to reduce healthcare costs without crippling the quality and effectiveness of care.
4. Immigration
Have we forgotten the irresponsible, criminal consequences of an open border? The millions of illegals allowed to flood our country were intended to increase the number of welfare cases who would vote Democrat. That single act of insanity plunged our country into spending Billions of tax dollars, increased crime, and so many other factors, from rental costs to food prices and transportation. Trivializing our sovereignty as a nation invites a scale of fraud never witnessed in our history. A dozen Democratic States have witnessed a culture of fraud, theft, and abuse that is jaw-dropping.
All countries know the value of protecting their sovereignty. DSA/Democrats open the borders only to achieve political dominance and create a one-party system. Once control is achieved, the onslaught of social change moves to socialist/fascist governance.
5. Sanctuary Cities/States
Democrats created sanctuaries or safe harbors for illegals and criminals. That is a fact. They have watered down the legal system, removing consequences for all types of illegal acts, from theft, robbery, lawlessness of all types, and violence. This is supposedly justified with false compassion or suicidal empathy. They like to believe the nonsense about criminals being the victims of society and that the actual victims of crime are ignored or blamed instead. It is ridiculous, and such fake virtues hurt everyone.
6. Crime
We have seen what open borders and the flood of illegals have done. Even when we remove, at great cost to taxpayers, the obvious hardened criminals through conviction or deportation, we must stop catering to criminals to win their votes. Crime must have serious consequences. This is especially true for the 20% who create 80% of the felonies in the US. Laws must be reinforced. The court system must stop being unreasonably lenient to repeat criminals – especially those with rap sheets showing a long list of repeat crimes. We have seen the left, liberal insanity with nasty implementations of no cash bail, reduced sentences, and leniency with repeat offenders and hardened criminals. Americans lose property and safety. When they are put in prison, crime declines precipitously.
7. Islam
Islam is a curse on humanity. More people have been killed in history than those of all other religions combined. It is not just a religion, but a government with a set of laws, Sharia Law, and an approved level of financial requirements (Sharia Finance), plus the religious component that is driven by an extreme ideology that supports, even encourages any activity that supports Islam in some manner. What would normally be considered outrageous violations of human decency is acceptable in situations that advance the cause of Islam, even if it means stealing, cheating, or even killing. Yes, there are moderates, but in the end, the extreme or radical Islamists are like poison; once it enters the body, the host will be infected.
Summary
These are only 7 reasons. If you are aware of what is going on, the list goes on to dozens more. Look, listen, learn all the ways that will harm America with radical, extremist views played with the fake notion that it is the best, lasting, most effective system.
Ask yourselves, where is this working so well? Sweden? Do you know what is happening in Sweden, Germany, Spain, and Italy? It is a nightmare. The fact remains that in all history, socialism/fascism/communism/Radical Islamism has failed. In the end, it hurts or destroys everything, from a failed economy to the outright deaths of millions of people in their oppression, imprisonment, and efforts to escape.
Do you have other reasons you can share with me and my readers?
