Mainstream media is now admitting what conservatives have been warning about for years… the Democrat Party is being taken over by socialism.
From the Associated Press: For years, Republicans have disparaged their political rivals by describing them as socialists. But that may not be the insult it once was for rank-and-file Democrats, who have warmed to socialism and increasingly see “capitalism” as a barb.
A new Gallup poll finds that while U.S. adults overall are more likely to have a positive view of capitalism than socialism, Democrats feel differently. According to the survey, only 42% of Democrats view capitalism favorably, while 66% have a positive view of socialism.
Capitalism’s image has slipped with U.S. adults overall since 2021, the survey finds, and the results show a gradual but persistent shift in Democrats’ support for the two ideologies over the past 15 years, with socialism rising as capitalism falls. The shifts underscore deep divisions within the party about whether open support for socialism will hurt Democrats’ ability to reach moderates or galvanize greater support from people who are concerned about issues like the cost of living.
Those tensions were cast into sharp relief earlier this year when Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, won the Democratic primary in the race for New York City mayor, leading some centrist Democrats to worry about his impact on the party’s national brand. Meanwhile, years after independent Sen. Bernie Sanders’ insurgent presidential campaigns put a new face and brand on socialism, Sanders is attracting massive crowds with a “fighting oligarchy” tour pushing Democrats to embrace his ideas as they search for a path back to viability.
“Democrats are the only partisan group of the three that views socialism more positively than capitalism — 66% to 42%, respectively. Independents are modestly more pro-capitalism than pro-socialism (51% vs. 38%), while Republicans are overwhelmingly so (74% vs. 14%),” Gallup revealed.

The latest Gallup poll notes that just four years ago, in 2021, 60% of Americans viewed capitalism favorably. Now that number has shrunk to 54%.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) commented on the new survey, writing on X, “Today, a whopping 66% of Democrats have a positive opinion of socialism. That’s a direct result of young people not learning about the atrocities that socialist governments committed in the 20th century.”

Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, Vivek Ramaswamy, said, “A lot of young people view socialism more favorably than capitalism, but we can’t just sit around & complain about it. The right answer to the rising popularity of socialism is to give those young people the *opportunity* to become asset owners themselves & participate in the upside – as capitalists in their own right.”

Last month, Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears warned, “Socialism destroys everything it touches. My family lived it in Jamaica with empty grocery shelves, no jobs, and no money. It failed there, and it’ll fail here too.”
