re: The DSA are coming after legal gunowners.

Happily. Sorry for the delay. I was at work. Most of it comes directly from their own website:

2. DSA’s July 2026 Platform Announcement LINK

3. DSA Constitution and Bylaws LINK

4. DSA’s Explanation of Democratic Socialism LINK

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) released its national political program, Workers Deserve More, in July 2026. It outlines 17 major policy priorities across economic, social, foreign policy, and governmental reforms. DSA Program +1

DSA’s 17 national platform priorities

Economic and social policies

1. Economic socialism: Replace capitalism with democratic socialism, including public ownership of major corporations and essential industries.

3. Housing: Establish universal rent control, expand publicly owned housing, regulate investment properties, and guarantee legal representation for tenants.

4. Workers’ rights: Implement a 32-hour workweek without reduced pay, a living minimum wage, paid family leave, and stronger labor union protections.

5. Education: Provide tuition-free public education from preschool through college, eliminate student debt, and make medical education free.

6. Wealth redistribution: Impose substantial taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations to finance public programs and infrastructure.

7. Green New Deal: Phase out fossil fuels, expand publicly owned renewable energy and transportation, and establish a federal jobs guarantee.

8. Racial justice and reparations: Establish reparations addressing slavery and historical discrimination, reinforce antidiscrimination laws, and recognize tribal sovereignty.

9. Police and prison abolition: Work toward eliminating conventional police and prison systems, demilitarize police, remove qualified immunity, and redirect resources toward community services.

10. Gender and LGBTQ rights: Protect abortion, gender transitions, LGBTQ equality, reproductive autonomy, and freedom from gender-based discrimination.

Immigration and foreign policy

11. Abolish ICE: Eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement, end immigration detention and deportations, legalize migration, grant amnesty to undocumented immigrants, and remove visa caps and quotas.

12. Reduce American military involvement: End foreign wars, close overseas military bases, substantially reduce military spending, and support international prosecution of war crimes.

13. Israel and Palestine: End all American military and economic assistance to Israel, support Palestinian self-determination and the right of return, and pursue prosecutions of leaders responsible for alleged crimes in Gaza.

14. End economic sanctions: Eliminate American economic blockades, embargoes, and sanctions against countries including Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran.

Government and political reform

15. Abolish the Electoral College: Eliminate the Electoral College, restrict lobbying and corporate election spending, and publicly finance elections.

16. Restructure the federal government: Abolish the U.S. Senate, expand the House of Representatives, establish proportional representation, and replace the presidency and Supreme Court with institutions selected by and subordinate to Congress.

17. Expand voting rights: Extend voting rights to all permanent U.S. residents, including noncitizens; restore voting rights to incarcerated individuals; and support Washington, D.C., statehood.

The organization’s broader objective

Beyond these individual policies, the DSA explicitly advocates replacing the existing capitalist economic and constitutional structure with a democratic socialist republic, including drafting a new U.S. Constitution.

We can’t even get people to show up for church, much less to take to the streets with force.

As Ten Bears said, "There is iron in your words.". 60% of our conservative base here in Virginia won't even bother to vote. That 60% certainly is not going to take to the streets with force, either.

but all this is nothing

blah blah blah

I hear it here repeatedly.

They're technically distinct but its one of those instances that it doesnt make a difference.


For example, Remember what Cersei did in *Game of Thrones*? She took the High Sparrow, an ascetic preacher with a growing following, and gave his movement the power to enforce its religious laws. She figured she could use the Faith Militant to take down her rivals and tighten her grip on King’s Landing.

For a while, it worked. The Faith went after the Tyrells, just as Cersei wanted. Then the High Sparrow turned the same authority on her. Before long, the queen who had armed the movement was sitting in one of its cells. Cersei was so fixated on beating her rivals that she handed a faction with its own agenda the power to arrest the queen herself. (as i think on itmore, this is actually one of the best examples illustrating a point that i've seen)



Thats what the DSA is - they're extremely well funded( almost certainly mainly from China and Iran, probably russia ) and are the socialist and communist cancer thats embedded themselves in the DNC and is gaining power. The democrats will vote for them and they'll very quickly be the DNC itself. Theyre the greatest political threat to this country IMO. They're trying their best to replicate the Bolshevik revolution it seems
