Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
Communist curmudgeon Bernie Sanders is having his moment, threatening to actually win some of the early primaries and maybe even the nomination. This is bad, at least for the Democrats, since the idea of a weird crusty admitted socialist as their candidate is problematic – the problem being Americans aren’t insanely stupid enough to elect this guy president.
We hope.
Also note that I am excluding Vermont, New York and California from that statement, if you have somehow confused those mutant provinces with America.
But with Bernie rising in the polls, and his poisonous ideology gathering steam among the Democrat base, can we really laugh off this Soviet Union-loving crank?
Gropey Joe is collapsing, and we still have not seen the full effect of what happens when America gets a load of his loser son, the $50,000 a month stripper impregnator. Once Joe takes his first real body blow, he’s going down.
Heap Big Hack is the one trying to get as close to Sanders as she can without going full socialist – never go full socialist – but she’s flailing. Recently she decried our shameful failure to respond to America’s greatest crisis, that boy criminals pretending to be girl criminals still have to go to boy jails instead of girl jails. There’s no real room in the race for this forked-tongue phony. The kind of people who subscribe to her nonsense prefer the full-bore socialism of Sanders to Warren’s paleface imitation.
Remember Klobucharmania? Me neither. Amy is just in it to grab second place. She’s the sensible shoe of the veepstakes.
And there’s Pete Buttigieg, the Hero of Kandahar, the Moses of the Midwest. That pretentious little doofus. Never has someone had so much self-esteem and so little reason for it. Let’s put it this way – if the Democrat primary was Hogan’s Heroes, Pete Buttigieg would assume he was Bob Crane but he would really be Larry Hovis.
We could hope that the nomination of Bernie would lead the Democrats to a massive electoral repudiation that would spark a long-overdue re-think of the Democrat Party’s drift to the far left. That seems the most likely result. But imagine if Sanders won. If you are one of the two nominees, you have a shot at it, as Donald Trump proved. And keep in mind you that don’t have to win to prevail down the road. In 1964, Barry Goldwater got creamed; in 1980, his ideological protégé Ronald Reagan won and conservatism was changed forever, despite the best efforts of those pathetic losers writing for whatever the Bulwark is.
So, Sanders could win. Now it gets really scary. Him with executive power. Shiver. Think of his administration, a motley collection of weirdos, trustafarians, hipsters, professors, and beret-topped activists. Look at that psycho from Iowa Project Veritas exposed. It would be a socialist Freaknik.
What would these cadres of Bernie Bros with some power do? Nationalization of businesses. Giveaways to freeloaders, paid for by all his new taxes. If you want your health care run by a guy who never had a job until those idiots in Vermont elected him, vote Bernie. Say “Bye” to free speech, freedom of religion, and your guns. Our enemies would be emboldened, our allies betrayed, our military ruined, and our economy destroyed. But hey – maybe Bernie Sanders is the one guy in all of human history talented enough to make socialism work.
And, if he keeps true to the form of his idols, he would try to turn the full power of the government against anyone who objects. But gee, lucky our federal law enforcement, intelligence, and tax agencies are packed with non-partisan professionals who would never, ever abuse their power and position to help a Democrat politician go after his opponents!
He’s dangerous, even if he looks like a disgruntled koala. Just ask his gulag aficionado, firing squad-aspiring pals.
Let’s be clear about one thing – Bernie Sanders is not cute and he’s not funny. He’s an unrepentant adherent of a vicious ideology that has butchered better than 100 million people in the last hundred years. The risk of electing a doctrinaire Marxist is open civil war – with his murder-fetishizing acolytes on the anti-freedom side along with the Never Trump True Conservatives™ who contend that True Conservatism™ demands we submit to communist rule because Trump tweets mean things at fugly celebs.
American patriots are not going socialist, not while they have the means to resist. You are under no moral obligation to allow yourself to be voted into tyranny by other people. If the Democrats insist on him, and through some horrible chain of events he gets the majority of the electoral votes, they will have lit the fire that could Bern it all down.
The kind of socialist nightmare Bernie Sanders represents is chronicled in my newest novel Collapse. Check it out along with the other entries in the series, People’s Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. America has split into red and blue, and both action and liberal-thumping hilarity ensue! The Never Trump sissies call my books “appalling,” so go get ‘em.

Don’t fool yourself into believing the US voting population is too wise to vote for Bernie. Obama was elected twice!
So true .Voted for Obama and Michael twice. One thing for sure the Congress ,who are all members of luciferian secert societies, are not going to do a damn thing except continue to betray us.
You voted for the gay mulatto twice? And you didn’t learn your lesson after the first 4 years? And now you’re here. Forgive me, but I’ve never known anyone that voted for that asswipe twice that became red pilled. Congratulations!
Big difference, Obama was owned by Globalists, Bernie is a died in the wool communist who scares the shit out of the Globalist establishment. He does not have a chance of being elected..
The neat thing about Sphincter is you only have to read the 1st paragraph to see something to shit on. In this case “insanely stupid enough to elect this guy president”. Like electing a lying carnival barker? Maybe youngsters who saw TARP, the raise Trump gave Wall Street and the open pocketbook for the MIC, imagine Bernie might steal from the public trough for them for a change. Who can blame them?
Voters can be really stoopid that’s for sure. America voted for an American hating and really confused foriegn born Gay Muslim Marxist and put him and his husband in the White House Twice, it was only pure luck that he was not followed by an American hating communist, serial killer and her serial rapist husband in it to follow up and end the USA for good,
So, these youngsters don’t deserve any of the loot? That’s the special province of wall street, banksters, pharma and the MIC? Are they just to pay the taxes, try to survive on $15/hr and face bankruptcy if their children need a lot of medical attention? I’m a lifelong Ron Paul guy but I get it. It’s somehow wrong to pay off education debt but bailing out banksters who fucked up the economy was ‘in the national interest? That’s my idea of stoopid.
Anyhoo, now that Trump has kept the border wide open Texas and Florida will soon turn blue (just like Virginia) and you won’t have any say in future elections so relax and enjoy the ride.
If they are only earning $15/hr, they need to get a skill and start making real money.
Brilliant. Now answer the question: Is theft of public funds the sole province of the ruling elite or do regular working stiffs get a cut of the loot?
A lot of bureaucrats get their cut, teachers get their cut, farmers get their cut and there is a little that drips down to the working class, especially union folks.
What a bunch of twaddle. Wall Street and corporations are more communist than Sanders……think G.M ( Government Motors ) bailout…..Government bailouts to the so called free enterprise banks…….you got socialism for the wealthy and capitalism for everybody else…..profit is privatized , risk is socialized
“you got socialism for the wealthy and capitalism for everybody else…..profit is privatized , risk is socialized”
has nothing to do with socialism or capitalism. it’s better understood that the value goes to certain people, and everyone else pays the costs – whatever advances that goal at any given minute gets pushed.
Kurt gets correct the fact that Bernie is full commie, but what Kurt underestimates is the American public’s eagerness for suffering as evidenced by past elections.
I find it odd that people think their votes really matter.
if votes didn’t matter then voter fraud wouldn’t be necessary.
Bloomberg
All a charade to throw most of the delegates to Clinton. Bernie gets cheated again.
” .. .. Americans aren’t insanely stupid enough to elect this guy .. ” Who needs elections ?
If Bernie makes it to Summer it means the Dems have finally corrupted the voters lists and election software enough that they can fake the whole election and have true Communism even if nobody voted for it.
It has nothing to do with who votes, it matters who counts the votes.
It is gonna be berned down alright..

No worries. The Global Capitalist Empire the rules the US along side the rest of the western world will prevent Bernie fro enacting his agenda. Just like they have Trump.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.
Mencken
the article makes a good argument to vote for bernie, burn it down ?
“He’s an unrepentant adherent of a vicious ideology that has butchered better than 100 million people in the last hundred years.”
Good thing the USA hasn’t killed anybody. OK, Epstein but he was bad, ok?
False equivalency there Round Eyes…..
Bernie’s got a circular firing squad going, and this is only part one:
Looks like Timcast was the first one on this. My favorite Bernie Bro Dem! Soon to be “former”?
“milwaukee will burn”
used to be a great american city, but at this point, not sure there’s a downside ….
Hopefully Bernie’s Circular Firing Squad will take down a couple more, leaving Creepy Gropey Uncle Joe. My other favorite Dem Millenial asks for help with a big picture strategy:
Scorched Earth?

“Never has someone had so much self-esteem and so little reason for it.”
actually the entire left wing, and its owners, are that way.
“We could hope that the nomination of Bernie would lead the Democrats to a massive electoral repudiation that would spark a long-overdue re-think of the Democrat Party’s drift to the far left. That seems the most likely result.”
no. if the leftists lose they’ll just assume it was because they weren’t leftist enough and weren’t violent enough, so they’ll push harder left and go full assault mode.
“What would these cadres of Bernie Bros with some power do?”
gulags.
“Say ‘Bye’ to free speech, freedom of religion, and your guns. Our enemies would be emboldened, our allies betrayed, our military ruined, and our economy destroyed.”
and that’s the intent.
“He’s an unrepentant adherent of a vicious ideology that has butchered better than 100 million people in the last hundred years.”
he’s quite conservative in loyalty to his tribe and its culture.
Bernie Sanders, American Trotsky.
Trotsky may have been more ‘honest’.
Bernie and his Iowa campaign staffer will rely on other people (AGW’s) to do the dirty work. They would not stand a chance of herding people into the cattle cars headed to the showers of death.
