Victor Davis Hanson: Diagnosing the Symptoms of the Democrat Socialists’ Disease

 

The disease of Democrat Socialism is slowly spreading throughout three groups of people: urban consumers, immigrants, and DEI advocates. Their symptoms and agenda include everything antithetical to traditional American policy: open borders, amnesty for illegal immigration, and the conflation of citizenship with mere residency. Their methodology is to run in select blue cities in local elections, giving them a chance to out-fund and out-perform the Democrats. And if they do that well, socialism could spread to the entire Democrat Party. Socialists can’t afford to create a third party, so they’re simply taking over another.
