Over the weekend, the Philadelphia chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) held an antisemitic "bike rally" in the city's Rittenhouse neighborhood. Their targets were Jewish businesses, and I won't sugarcoat it: it wasn't about "Zionism" or Israel. The American Left hates Jews. Full stop.
That's why they've spent the last decade projecting their Jew-hatred and Nazi-esque tendencies onto Republicans — every accusation is a confession. They claimed President Trump was turning us into Germany circa 1938 while they tried, and failed, to have their very own Kristallnacht in the City of Brotherly Love.
What happened, much to their dismay, is that hundreds of counter-protesters showed up. Wait times to get into the Jewish-owned restaurants topped two hours. But what was interesting was how the DSA reacted to this exercise of the First Amendment: they claimed it was "repression" by the counter-protesters and politicians, including Gov. Josh Shapiro and Philly Mayor Cherelle Parker, who called this hate-fest what it was.
Note I said "interesting" and not surprising. Because if you've paid even the slightest bit of attention to history and the modern-day DSA, you shouldn't be surprised that these wannabe fascists are playing the victim card here.
That's the first step to silencing their opposition. And they have a long history of doing it even to their fellow commies: the Philly chapter ousted an Israeli-American member — an actual socialist, mind you — who was concerned about her family living near Gaza.
🚨 Philly DSA Accuses Politicians of Repression While Its Own Leadership Celebrates Purging Zionist Opposition

Philly DSA is defending Sunday's boycott of Jewish-owned businesses, accusing elected officials of attempting to suppress pro-Palestinian activism.

"Just a friendly reminder that virtually any criticism of DSA will be met with cries of political repression, even as its own activists openly celebrate suppressing dissent within their ranks," Smith wrote at the end of his post.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
He hit the nail on the head. The DSA has made it very clear that they intend to crush dissent in this country. That's why they want to abolish the Senate and make the Supreme Court and President subjugated to a Congressional body. It's why they want to destroy the Electoral College, too: to silence the red states and make sure we don't have a voice in their socialist utopia, right before they take our money and our property and — given socialism's track record — our lives.
This isn't about healthcare or helping workers. It's not about affordability.
It's about control and the destruction of America, and that begins by crushing dissent. Bullies don't like it when you tell them no, after all.
