Since 1912 and the election of Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat Party has been America’s left-wing political party. Nonetheless, over the decades it has maintained tenuous ties to the basic tenets of the nation’s founding. In the 1930s, beginning with what was a de facto “cult of personality” centered around Franklin Roosevelt, the Democrat party establishment began wallowing in myopic party loyalty. It was that myopic party loyalty extended to Barack Obama together with a psychotic obsession with Donald Trump that has led to the Democrat party evolving into America’s Marxist/socialist political party and the greatest internal threat to the nation as founded in its 250-year history.
By 2020, the far-left or Marxists/socialists had cemented their grip on the party. In that election cycle the socialist wing of the Democrat party gained significant ground compared to previous elections. In 2020, per the Heartland Institute, 266 avowed socialist candidates ran under the Democrat banner for state legislative seats (200), U.S. House seats (60), and U.S. Senate seats (6). Virtually all ran in predominantly Democrat strongholds. More than ninety percent won their races. By comparison in 2018, only 86 Democrat candidates running for state and congressional seats were avowed socialists and of that number fewer than forty percent won their races.
By the summer and fall of 2025, even the legacy media was reporting about the Marxist/socialist takeover of the Democrat party and that the party is “…threatening to bring socialism into America’s mainstream via the two-party system.”
That outcome became inevitable in 2008 when the party went on a blind date with someone they did not know and made no effort to find out about and was responsible for Donald Trump seeking the presidency in 2016.
In 2008, Barack Obama, playing on his skin color, ability to deliver a speech, and a manufactured image geared to appeal to a celebrity-obsessed populace, captured the hearts and minds of the Democrat Party movers and shakers. It mattered little to an establishment marinated in party loyalty who Obama was or what he had said or done in his past. Winning the White House after eight years of Republican occupation was the only objective.
The mainstream media, the vast majority of whom historically promote Democrat candidates, were overwhelmingly predisposed to swallow the faux image portrayed by the Obama team as he met and exceeded their superficial image of an ideal presidential candidate.
The major financial contributors to the party were also susceptible to the new celebrity in their midst, as he had the unique ability to obfuscate socialism and make it sound not only benign but nation-saving. Out of loyalty to the party, they willfully chose to not believe that Obama harbored extreme left-wing beliefs, had historically demonized capitalism, and had incessantly trafficked in racial and class warfare rhetoric.
Additionally, Obama effectively stated during the campaign that he intended to transform the nation into a socialist state via a Marxist takeover of the Democrat party. However, all the revelations about his political philosophy and his past that were exposed during the campaign were waved away by those who in their juvenile celebrity worship or party loyalty refused to listen or ask questions.
To the elected Democrat officeholders, dependent on the largess of the party hierarchy, it mattered little who was the party nominee -- they would blindly support anyone chosen but particularly one the legacy media portrayed as “messianic.”
Once in office, the real Barack Obama surfaced. The blind date turned out to be a disaster for the party and the country.
Counting on the fascination with his racial identity and unbridled loyalty to the Democratic Party, Obama coerced the Congress, overwhelming controlled by the Democrats in 2009-2010, to take the lead and the arrows as they passed numerous bills transferring near unlimited power to the executive branch. Among these were the extremely unpopular ObamaCare and the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act.
As all spending must be approved by Congress, a convenient scapegoat, Obama tacitly agreed with every spending request by his administration or any member of the party no matter how outrageous and detrimental to the long-term future of the country. In exchange, members of Congress raised no objections when extra-constitutional executive orders were issued and far-left ideologues appointed to further radicalize the federal bureaucracy. Additionally, many dubious and potentially illegal actions by the administration (such as the Fast and Furious debacle) were ignored and swept under the rug.
In the meantime, Barack Obama remained above the fray, ignoring Congress and its leaders as they myopically and slavishly did his bidding. His rare meetings with them were condescending and reminiscent of a summons before the throne of a monarch.
Unable to muster any self-respect, the Democrat members of Congress, in their juvenile obsession with party loyalty, continued to bow before the throne, even after a devastating defeat in the 2010 mid-term election (the Democrats lost a record 63 House seats). In that campaign, the titular leader of the Party, Barack Obama, did next to nothing to help those running for re-election.
As part of his agenda to transform the Democrat party, Obama, in the 2010, 2012, and 2014 election cycles essentially ignored the financial and campaign needs of a vast number of “moderate” Democrats resulting in the retirement or defeat of many in the primaries or general elections, thus, opening the door for far-left candidates to run under the Democrat banner.
Barack Obama no longer needed a Democrat Congress as he had a compliant and racially intimidated Republican party as his so-called opposition. Further, the Democrats had already granted and allowed him to usurp sufficient power to unilaterally proceed on transforming America but more importantly the party during his second term regardless of who controlled Congress.
With Obama’s re-election in 2012, the die was cast. By the end of his second term, the Democrat party was on the road to being in the grip of the far left. It was going to take time but it was only a matter of when.
The unexpected election of Donald Trump in 2016 not only cemented that inevitability but moved the timetable up dramatically as Trump Derangement Syndrome overwhelmingly seized the Democrat party establishment transforming them into a babbling, incoherent rabble with revenge as their only reason for existence.
Rather than focus on why they lost in 2016 and the stealthy but persistent encroachment of Marxist true believers within both the elected and establishment ranks of the party, the old guard hierarchy became fixated on defeating and humiliating Donald Trump by any means possible including unleashing hitherto unthinkable voting fraud and manipulation to guarantee Trump’s defeat in 2020 and entering into de facto alliances and power sharing with virtually any element of the far left.
Those alliances opened the gates for groups such as The Democratic Socialist of America, the Progressive Democrats of America, and Our Revolution to not only field candidates under the Democrat party banner (which they successfully did in 2020) but occupy seats at the table.
These newest members of the Democrat hierarchy have youth and determination on their side as well as the backing of a majority of the younger generations. As the old guard establishment rapidly fades away, they will consolidate their control of the party and never relinquish their domination. The Democrat Party is America’s Marxist/socialist political party in perpetuity and greatest internal threat in its 250-year history.
That reality is not lost on the American people, as a July 2025 poll revealed that just 28% of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Democrat party. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the prevailing view of the party establishment Republicans in Congress as they refuse to acknowledge the threat the current Democrat party represents and to aggressively confront the Marxist agenda and tactics of their “colleagues” across the aisle.
