A decade ago, it was all “Russians! Under my bed!” everywhere. Those Russians were fictional, for the most part, part of a campaign organized by Clintonistas to explain away her humiliating defeat, and magnified by various Deep State operatives into an effort to discredit and weaken the first Trump term. (The previous sentence counted as conspiracy theory then; now it’s unexceptionable truth, like so many of those conspiracy theories.)
But while the Russians weren’t actually calling the shots, the the Latté Communist Party, more officially known as the Democratic Socialists of America, has been seeking out election victories everywhere. And winning some.
New York’s Islamo-Communist Mayor Mamdani is their biggest winner, but as the recent New York primaries demonstrate, not the only one they’ve been pushing. Then there’s the member of the DSA’s “Das Reich” division, Graham Platner, who’s running for Senate in Maine.
And even in my hometown, not very Communist-friendly, we have a candidate for County Mayor, Beau Hawk, who’s sort of East Tennessee’s Graham Platner: A beefy guy, with a name Southern enough to make him a friend of the Duke boys. Except that the Duke boys didn’t run with no commies.
