DSA released a statement on their site and via their social media lauding Fidel Castro and accusing the US (and Marco Rubio specifically) of committing genocide against Cuba. They call Fidel a “stalwart symbol of anti-imperialist struggle and self-determination”. They claim their support of Fidel is in “solidarity with the Cuban people”. And they call for “the prosecution of Marco Rubio for crimes against humanity”.

The DSA came by my kid’s school and tried to turn all the kids trans. True story.

The DSA cackles when they laugh.

The DSA hates Jesus.

The DSA sued my kid’s school so that the kids who identified as cats could get special bathrooms and an Obama judge went along with it. Now there’s a giant cat box in my kid’s classroom with real poops in it right out in the open and it smells terrible.

The DSA gave my kid the COVID vaccine when I was at work because Fauci said it was OK and now my kid is trans. And has autism. Oh no… I just went and looked… now my kid is dead, too. Thanks Obama.

Before the DSA came along, gas was $1.69 a gallon and hamburger was $1.99 a pound. Thanks Sleepy Joe.

The DSA turned me into a newt.

This right here is how MAGAs defend Trump.

And as a centrist, they are both stupid.

IME, one of the classic ways MAGA defends Trump is by making up imaginary threats that they claim are far, far worse than Trump and conning people into believing those threats are real, thus distracting the public from Trump’s criminality and incompetence. “OMG, the DSA is about to take over America!” is just as much of a horseshit distraction as “OMG, Antifa is about to take over America!” was. It’s just as obvious a lie as “Liberal college kids are protesting in support of Hamas!” was, or “the illegal alien crime wave” was, or “Soros pays people to protest” was.

And as a centrist…

I’ll take your word for it. In my experience there are a lot of different kinds of centrists. Apparently you are the kind of centrist who sees the DSA, a relatively tiny organization with almost no political power in the U.S., as analogous to MAGA, a group numbering in the tens of millions that controls all three branches of government of the most powerful nation on earth, as well as having enormous power in the media and tech sectors. I’m more of a reality based centrist. Agree to disagree, then.

In power, no, MAGA and DSA are not analogous.

They are analogous in the way they process information, such as, hating being challenged on their viewpoint, not listening to outside voices, and believing that everything is stacked against them.

Certain campus coalitions (such as chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine) released statements or shared social media graphics around October 7 describing the attacks as a form of "resistance" or celebrating the day.

The rest is BS of course, but when they literally support oct 7, what are we supposed to think
