The 2026 election isn’t over yet, but the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) are already looking ahead to 2028 and beyond. Convinced they will take over Congress this year, they’re already measuring the drapes in the Oval Office, planning for “President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.” That goal is realistic, and it indicates how far America has drifted from its core values.

When AOC first ran for Congress in 2018, many people dismissed the “Bronx bartender” as an ignorant upstart with no political future. The idea that she was a credible candidate for anything was seen as a joke.

But while she frequently put her ignorance on full display, it didn’t stop her from taking down a 20-year incumbent and member of Nancy Pelosi’s leadership team in the Democrat primary.

Since she was elected, her political skills have massively improved. That tells me serious people are working with her to improve those skills. Like it or not, she will be a formidable candidate, especially given the leftward lurch of the Democrat Party.

Even California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who definitely has his eyes on the White House, just admitted that the DSA is the Democrat Party’s future. He said:

“The DSA, the energy and the desire for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be the . . . the mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question in my mind.”

If anyone on the Left wins the White House in 2028, they will try to ensure it’s our last real election. But if it’s someone like AOC or Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, it definitely will be our last real election.

Halloween is right around the corner, and I can’t think of anything more frightening!
