A spoonful of sugar helps the poison go down

According to Wisconsin socialist Democrat candidate Francesca Hong, "I think that when folks hear 'socialism,' they may be taken aback, but I bring it back to potholes and the [Green Bay] Packers and public education."

That was how Hong explained to an MSNOW interviewer her deceitful strategy to slip evil past Badger State voters.

Maine's garbage-hearted Graham Platner may have quit his electoral effort, but the communist wickedness that today wields great influence in the Democrat party ain't goin' nowhere.

Hong's 'spoonful of sugar' skullduggery is common to scheming electoral subversives. Rather than concede communism has murdered some 100 million people over centuries, they extend warm rhetoric about kitchen-table matters.

Don't expect the Mamdanis to confess their ideology's bloody history, systematic denial of individual liberty, fundamental foulness, or -- worst of all -- contempt for belief in God.

They are communists -- let's dispense with the calculatedly misleading 'Democratic Socialists' -- and lying comes naturally to them. Zealots feel their cause to be noble, and that the end justifies dirty tactics.

In just the last month, they've accrued victories in the city of Washington, New York, and Colorado. So, Democrat voters themselves deserve a share of the blame.

Some are ardent enemies of America who throng Antifa riots, anti-ICE obstructions, and No Kings events. A larger share, it's a reasonable assumption, have pulled the D lever for decades and robotically continue doing so without spending a moment in honest critical consideration.

At the June 26 Faith and Freedom conference, President Trump was adamant: "Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America. We're not gonna let it happen."

He accurately warned the Democrat Party is "becoming a communist party. These are not social Dumocrats, these are hardcore, godless communists."

Democrat old-guard warhorses cannot be expected to help halt evil's spread. As obtaining and keeping power seems their sole concern, no low is beneath them.

Nazi tattoos, defund-police chants, drag story hours for toddlers, and a millions-strong invasion of illegals haven't already given them pause.

Having seen ballot successes of Mamdani and other America-haters, they perceive that communism holds a degree of voter appeal. And, being utterly unprincipled, elites rush to accommodate.

Beware of Democrats bearing spoons.
