Lower Gas Prices, Peace, and Immigration Control May Stave Off Socialism, Temporarily….

…and a major dose of education. The results of many primaries, and the electorate’s acceptance of candidates with low personal standards, prove that we must win the mid-term elections if we are to maintain any level of sanity and preserve what is left of America. The people are frustrated, mad, and financially stretched, which are all ingredients that force people to grab onto any alternative that they think might improve their lives. Enter DSA.

Most recognize the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) as the folly of an indoctrinated and impressionable group of people who are naive enough to believe the rhetoric of free everything and “for the people,” and ignorant enough to have no idea what Socialism has done to Cuba, Venezuela, the Soviet Union in the twentieth century, or China under Mao. They do not understand that the DSA is not talking about changing the system, but rather, taking a wrecking ball to America and replacing it with a Socialist based alternative. It is the convergence of all of these negative influences that has put Zohran Mamdani in the corner office of New York City and three million minions following the toxic Hasan Piker on Social Media. The “D” in DSA should stand for Demonic, for the spell it has cast on so many. Why the DSA has gained traction with young voters is understandable, but why so many affluent, highly educated voters are attracted to the movement is a conundrum, for they have the most to lose under a Socialist government.

What needs to be done to stop this freefall to Socialism? Acceptance, understanding, and education in a media blitz never seen in history may be the only way to stem this tide. The Democrats have not accepted the premise and power of the DSA. They foolishly think the DSA is an extension of, or a new direction for, the Party. The Republicans understand the true intentions, and we have just a few months to undo decades of indoctrination that our children and grandchildren have been infected with.

In practical terms, Trump must end this battle with Iran. Either get them to sign a deal or finish the job of cutting off the head and facilitating the return to power of the Persian people. Gas prices must drop below $3. We cannot solve the housing crunch in two months, but we have to step up the deportation of illegals and free up housing and let supply drop the price. This is the three-pronged attack needed to keep the Congress under Republican control. We have to make these supporters of Socialism understand what they would be getting and losing, and that capitalism still works and is everyone’s ticket to prosperity and opportunity.

We have to keep the DSA candidates, as well as the existing radical members of Congress, talking. Whenever they are asked a follow-up question about one of their laundry list of policies, they fold like a cheap suit. They know the talking points, but they lack any fundamental or practical explanation of what a given policy is and how it will impact the country. These people are not leaders; they are repeaters. They were given a script and cannot think extemporaneously. Whether it is how much is enough to tax billionaires or what destroying ICE means to national security, DSA does not have the answers. This has to be our story. It does not matter what level a DSA candidate is running at; they cannot be allowed to win.

Should we hold Congress, we have to end the stalemate. We need two years of a MAGA blitz to codify as many of Trump’s initiatives into law as possible. Executive orders are only as good as the length of the President’s time in office. We lose, and all is erased on Day 1. Congress has to get to work and get the job done.

Author’s Note: Graphics created by Grok AI. Grok’s comments about the images: This one is meant to feel grounded and resolute rather than angry. The open American landscape, the solitary flag, and that clean morning light are there to remind the reader what is still worth defending—space, prosperity, and the simple promise that hard work still means something. It deliberately avoids the dystopian or cartoonish socialist imagery; the quiet beauty of the country itself does more work than any heavy-handed symbolism. The golden-hour palette also gives it that classic “still here, still free” feeling that matches the urgency in today’s piece without turning the graphic into a meme.
