The socialist movement within the Democrat Party is indeed threatening many cities across America, especially New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. The movement is also attempting to take over States via Statewide elections. That will not go over so quickly as States generally have more sane individuals in the non-urban areas who are not going to vote for socialists.
But the urban centers will vote in more and more members of Congress who will make lots of noise and fuel more of the growth of socialism. Bernie Sanders was not taken that seriously even after he hauled in impressive numbers of voters when he faced Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democrat primaries for President. But his ideas and influence have continued to grow, including his consistent position of siding with the Israel blood libelers of the modern age.
City after city across the USA that votes in socialists will soon find themselves with rows and rows of “For Sale” signs as homeowners, and especially business owners, will continue flee to Florida, Texas, and any other States that vote in sane leadership.
Nationally, the socialists will have a much tougher time reaching high office. The checks and balances of the United States system of government are such that radical ideas cannot assume power without a supermajority for an extended amount of time. That is why those who are concerned about President Trump’s power with a slight Congressional majority should not be so concerned. If President Trump overextends his hand on almost any issue, it will not be difficult to find 5-10 Republican Congressmen who will object.
Conversely, if somehow a socialist Democrat assumes power in the Executive Branch, their policies will certainly do much damage to the economy, but they won’t be able to undo all of the freedoms that America is based on. It would probably usher in yet another massive Tea Party movement in Congress that would sweep America back to normalcy via a reawakening of the American spirit.
But Douglas Murray is correct that erasing history is indeed dangerous. The battle for learning the right things from history is part and parcel of the battle for a present and future that is based on logic, freedom, and a hopeful future for all.
