Trump is losing to the Democratic Socialists because those candidates advocate for and believe Americans need and deserve to be the priority, not billionaire funders. They understand their role as a public servant and genuinely want to help people.

Recently, Trump started calling Democrats “Communists” because, with the critically important midterm elections approaching, he doesn’t want Americans talking about the real threat-HIM and his Fascist regime.
While speaking at the Faith & Freedom Coalition 2026 event, he recently told the attendees:
“The democrats, they are horrible. They want to resume the transgender mutilation of our children. They want to restart the war on Christmas and churches.
As you saw with the Communist (Zohran Mamdami) elected in NYC recently. They’re Communists. They’re not Socialist Democrats.
They want to completely destroy the traditional American way of life. You will live in squalor. There will be no food. There will be no housing. There will be no military. There will be no law and order. There will be no nothing.
It will be a third-world habitat in every way, and everyone will suffer or die. You’ll suffer or die. That’s what has happened for thousands of years because it’s been happening by different names.
They don’t believe in God. They’re godless Communists. That’s the most serious threat to our country.”
The truth is you can’t be a Trump supporter and a Christian. No president has done more to hurt Christianity than Donald Trump. His heartless actions prove it.
Trump’s Speech Is The Red Scare Tactic
Republicans tried the same thing during the Joseph R. McCarthy and President Truman era. Lie about the Democrats, accuse them of being communists “reds”, use fear-based rhetoric to provoke MAGA, wave a list of names around, and offer no evidence to support the accusation, knowing their voters never research anything.
Let’s talk about destroying things and godlessness. Trump and the Republicans violate their Oaths and betray the trust of the American people every single day.
All they do is break promises, take away individuals’ freedoms and support services so that they can reward their obscenely wealthy campaign funders. With their self-serving actions, they dishonor God and the teachings of Jesus.
Innocent children and families have suffered or died and will die because of Trump’s malignant narcissism and cruel decisions as President.
Let’s Be Real
The two reasons Trump ran for President in 2024 were to have his best shot at staying out of jail for leading the January 6 attack on the Capitol and democracy and to enrich himself and his family one more time.
During Trump’s 2024 campaign rallies, he promised his base everything they wanted to hear. How prosperous they all would be. Once he got elected, he forgot all about them. Promises from an insurrectionist, convicted felon, and adjudicated sexual abuser-what could go wrong?

The only people who did not know the truth about Trump were the people who only watch FOX News and refused to listen to their close friends and family members.
Truth is available only to those who dare to question whatever they have been taught.
The MAGA Americans are finally realizing they have been conned because the policies in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill have recently impacted and devastated their livelihood and the well-being of their families.
There are many tearful, angry stories from unhappy Americans on YouTube. The good news is that angry people vote!
Republicans And Democrats
To understand how the United States got to this point, I think it helps to know the differences between the political parties. All of them impact our elections.
Within the Republican and Democratic parties, there are differences of opinion and visions of what America should be. Those differences are categorized as right-wing ideologies (Republican Party) and left-wing ideologies (Democratic Party).


Democratic Socialists Of America (DSA)
Since Trump 2.0, Americans have been sending strong messages to the status quo and corporate politicians about what they expect in order to get their votes. Compare this list to what Trump said in his speech at the Faith & Freedom Coalition 2026 event.
According to the Democratic Socialists of America website:
The DSA is a well-established national socialist organization.
- Democratic Socialists reject authoritarian socialism/communism. They reject centralized, top-down control of the people.
- Shift the political and economic power away from billionaires and corporations and move beyond the unfair and exploitative capitalist system.
- Expand the social safety net. They believe direct government action, not the free market, is a better tool for solving problems to benefit ordinary Americans.
- They support a political and economic system that meets the public needs rather than generates profits for a few. End Corruption.
- No more funding of Israel’s genocidal wars.
- They believe that political democracy is incomplete without economic democracy, meaning workers should have a say in decisions at their workplaces and in key industries.
- Democratic socialism relies on democratic processes and civil liberties to achieve systemic change.
- Immigration rights and labor protections for all workers. Abolish ICE cruelty.
- To reduce inequality, they advocate for state regulation, social safety nets, and public services.
- Public services funded by the government include universal healthcare, affordable housing, paid family leave and access to childcare, early childhood education, high-quality public education, and free or affordable higher education after high school.
- Raise the minimum wage to a livable wage. Shorten the work week to 32 hours per week with no reduction in pay or benefits.
- Lower the cost of living so people do not have to work multiple jobs to make ends meet for their families.
- Police reform and community policing.
- Green New Deal climate change initiatives are needed to keep the economy strong and productive.
- The current government systems are failing to improve basic human needs because of the enormous economic inequality, particularly among young people.
Democratic Progressive Party
The Democratic Progressive Party is not a formally recognized national party. The term often refers to progressive Democrats who advocate for bold social and economic reforms.

Communist Party Of The United States Of America (CPUSA)
While doing research for this blog post, I stumbled across the CPUSA Constitution. This political party was founded in Chicago in 1919. Since Chicago was my hometown for 28 years, I wanted to learn more.
These are statements included in the Preamble on the website:
“The Communist Party USA is of and for the U.S. working class. Our U.S. working class is multiracial, multigender, and multinational. It unites people of all genders, young and old, gay and straight, native-born and immigrant, urban and rural.
Capitalism has cast billions of people around the world into poverty. It afflicts humans with endless wars. It institutionalizes racism and women’s oppression, denies youth the hope of a future, and fuels discrimination against gay, lesbian, and transgender people, religious minorities, immigrants, and people with disabilities.
Capitalism pits worker against worker in a global race to the bottom.
Corporate interests wage a never-ending campaign to roll back people’s hard-won democratic rights.
Capitalism’s insatiable drive for profits has poisoned the Earth’s land, sea, and air.
Capitalism treats people and nature as disposable commodities in order to transfer the wealth of the planet to a handful of multi-billionaires.
Our basic principles are rooted in today’s struggles, informed by our history and experiences, and guided by our scientific outlook and vision of socialism. Our bedrock principles include recognition of the leading role of the working class in the struggle for social change, that working class unity is essential, and that the fight against white supremacy and male supremacy, and the struggle for immigrant rights are essential to building that unity.”
Amazing and sad! The struggle is even worse in 2026. Most Americans are hard-working people who want to provide for their families. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents definitely relate to those statements in the Preamble.
Status quo politicians are not the remedy because they are fine with the way things are. Wouldn’t we all like to have a cushy job like theirs, with no accountability?
This vision from 1919 and the Democratic Socialists’ vision in 2026 are exactly why Trump is losing to the Democratic Socialists. Americans are more than weary of politicians lying to them, a rigged economy, of billionaires buying elections and doubling their wealth while wages for ordinary Americans start at $7.25 an hour, and politicians enriching themselves with insider trading. At the same time, basic needs like healthcare, affordable housing, common-sense gun ownership laws, and safe schools and neighborhoods spiral out of reach.
Two Of The Most Dedicated Democratic Socialists


In political discourse, the term “establishment” refers to the traditional, institutionalized powers and key players united to uphold a long-term status quo to maintain the state of affairs that existed previously, to keep things the way they presently are.
AOC and Bernie are proof that Americans are ready for a new beginning, not the same old, same old. And so are the Democratic Socialists winning the primaries.
Independent Voters

The Third Way

Track AIPAC
AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) is a powerful lobbying group advocating pro-Israel policies. This group lobbies for foreign aid, arms sales, defense cooperation, and legislation that supports Israel’s interests. It spent over $100 million in U.S. elections to support candidates aligned with Pro-Israel policies and oppose those advocating for Palestinian rights or a Gaza ceasefire.

This is the resource the Democratic leadership does not want you to know about. It is Track AIPAC. You can find out what politicians are funded by the PRO-Israel PACS and the amount they receive. Prepare to be shocked! You can also find out who does not receive any funding.
Why is our country and our taxpayer money funding Trump’s illegal war, a war criminal, and genocide? Because both Democrats and Republicans use this PAC as their honey pot to fund their campaigns. One hand washes the other, and they both wash the face kind of deal.
In the Democratic Party, some of those corporate politicians are Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, Jamie Raskin, Adam Schiff, and many other politicians accepting funding from AIPAC. Just a reminder that their careers and funders will always come before the needs of their constituents.
You cannot serve two masters. AOC and Bernie Sanders do not.
Impeach, Convict, Remove
In my opinion, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have been missing in action because of a major conflict of interest. Donald Trump and his administration are the most corrupt in the history of our nation. But Democratic leadership does not want to talk about impeachment and accountability. They don’t want you to know they accept money from AIPAC. They want to talk about affordability. They think that is the winning message. Two of the weakest “leaders” that I have ever seen when so many Americans living in these dark and difficult times were counting on them.

Know Your Real Enemy
If you long for change in American politics, vote for pro-people candidates, not pro-billionaires, pro-corporations, and pro-foreign investments. Please Google the candidate’s name and see what work history and other information is available. I like to check what worthy causes they volunteer their time for. Also check Wikipedia. The link is in Resources.
Above all, do not vote for malignant narcissists, convicted felons, sexual abusers, pedophile protectors, tax evaders, pathological liars, and people with a history of being sued.
Americans are waking up to the fact, especially the farmers and families living in rural communities, that Trump and the Republicans have deceived them with all their fake promises.
After nineteen months of his second term, MAGA Americans are seeing that the man and party they believed in do not care about them. They are feeling the pain of finding out that Trump and the Republicans are not the defenders of rural America and only care about their careers and buddy billionaires.
The Democratic Socialists do care, and the crowds show up because they don’t take money from the oligarchs. They are dedicated public servants, not self-serving, do-nothing, lifelong politicians.
Democratic Leadership Is Gaslighting The American People Too

Political gaslighting deliberately distorts facts, denies established truth, and creates conflicting narratives.
The Democrats have played into Trump’s hand since January 6, 2021. Whatever happened to the promise to Americans that “No one is above the law, not even the president?”
To not hold Donald J. Trump accountable for January 6, in my opinion, is the biggest reason the Democrats lost the 2024 election. They lost to an insurrectionist and a convicted felon. Let that sink in.
What totally irritates me is that even now they still refer to the Republicans as their “colleagues across the aisle.” The word “colleague” means teammate, ally, partner. We know the Republicans are not that.
The Democrats are stuck hoping for days gone by, when members of Congress used to work together. Those days ended when Barack Obama was elected over a white man, John McCain, in 2008. Then President Obama won again in 2012 against Mitt Romney.
I have never forgotten how disrespectful Mitch McConnell and his posse were to President Obama during those eight years. Trump’s disrespect for President Obama has been even worse. But they’re not racists.
The Democratic leadership is stuck in the Bubble of Washington, D.C., far removed from the real America the rest of us live in, and has let Trump use their weakness as doormats.
Why Should We Continue To Trust The Establishment Democratic Party?
The leadership and their “consultants” got it wrong when they thought there was no way Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton. They got it wrong when they thought there was no way Donald Trump could beat Kamala Harris. Remember how everyone was talking about the Blue Tsunami in 2024? That didn’t happen. As we all know and continue to pay the price for, Trump won both times.
Instead of accepting that the DSA and Progressive candidates are winning because voters are realizing they get nothing from corporate-funded Democrats, leadership has vowed to spend $15 million waging a war against them. How does that confirm a “big tent party”?
Yep. The new slogan by the Establishment Dems is we are a “big tent party” and “vote blue” unless the person is a Progressive candidate. After all, their goal is a long career by keeping their corporate funders happy and their insider trading alive.
The biggest gaslighting of all from the Dems is having us believe in all their investigations that always fail to deliver any appropriate jail time or punitive consequences. The Epstein Files are a perfect example.
There are only performative words of anger, but never actions to back the words up. Americans live in a never-ending news cycle of political corruption and lawlessness, and they want accountability. Lock them all up, as every other American would be for committing the same crimes! That will solve the problem.
It has been 10 years since Trump’s first term. You would think that 10 years would be enough time to figure out what to do with a convicted felon who is destroying our country and whose decisions are killing innocent people. Instead, they sold out America and Americans to Trump the King.
The One Thing Trump Fears Most Is Impeachment
Jamie Raskin was the lead impeachment manager in Donald Trump’s second impeachment regarding the January 6 Insurrection.
Here is what Representative Jamie Raskin recently said in an interview: “Democrats won’t play into Trump’s hand with impeachment.” He also said: “If impeachment advances progress for the country, then we”ll do it. If it doesn’t, then we won”t.” Below is the real reason.

National Poll Taken April 2026
A national poll was taken in April 2026 by Lake Research Partners and commissioned by Free Speech For People. It shows that support for impeachment spans party lines.
- Democrats 84% support; 8% oppose.
- Independents 55% support; 34% oppose.
- Republicans 14% support; 81% oppose.
Life has gotten worse in the United States since April, and I believe these impeachment support numbers are now higher.

Tough Cookie Tip: There is no effective opposition party in the United States other than ourselves, We The People. Democratic leadership has failed the American people. Why has it been okay for the Democrats to punt Trump and his illegal regime until after the midterms? We get a lot of performative outrage from the Democrats since Trump 2.0, but their angry words have not changed one thing for ordinary Americans. All Democrats in the House of Representatives had the power and should have filed Articles of Impeachment and forced a vote under Rule IX months ago. How much cruelty and corruption does it take until they actually use the power they always had? Courageous leadership matters. Doing the hard thing matters. We need to vote in the people who care more about doing the right thing than protecting the longevity of their careers. The more light we shine on this darkness, the better opportunities will come in November.
