The Democrats’ Plan To Give Away America

The Democratic Party’s drift into big-government socialism with weird values is beginning to disclose a set of repeating patterns.Ideas are born in the academic community. The latest crop emerging there from the far left are weird, outside the mainstream, overwhelmingly opposed by most Americans, and almost certainly impossible to implement.The Democrats bestow upon the weird ideas an air of moral authority. They become impossible to oppose without risking being smeared.Some activist fringe members of Congress and elected local Democrats take up the nutty ideas. Then the ideas become part of the Democratic Party platform, because it is easier to appease the radicals and their weird ideas than it is to fight with them.We have watched this pattern repeatedly. Transgenderism became the normal pattern. A Democrat, say, suggests that there are only two sexes — or that men should not participate in women’s sports or be in girls’ locker rooms. About 80 percent to 85 percent of Americans agree with these positions. Yet such views are now ostracized by a large part of the Democratic party. Reparations for slavery fit the pattern. Some enthusiastic Democrats think people who had nothing to do with slavery should pay money to people who have never been slaves. In California, New York, Illinois, Maryland, and at cities like Boston, Los Angeles, and St. Paul, there are active efforts underway to figure out how to establish a reparations system.The next great insistence on wealth transfer is beginning to build around Native American rights. This really hit me when I looked at the opening of the Democrats’ recent Maine convention to pick a new senatorial candidate. In his opening statement, Maine’s Democratic Party chairman, Charlie Dingman, said: “I want to pause first to recognize that we are meeting today in the unceded homeland of the Penobscot nation.”Mr. Dingman added: “The Maine Democratic Party acknowledges that the Maliset, Mi’kmaq, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot tribal nations have long been stewards of the places where most of us live and work and that they are entitled to recognition as distinct sovereign entities.”Out of curiosity, I began looking for other Democrats and their views on land ownership.Congresswoman Deb Harland of New Mexico at the 2020 Democratic National Convention said: “I’m grateful to be with you, here, on Indigenous land. The promise of this country is older than our Constitution.” She added that “over 500 years ago thousands of Indian tribes were vibrant democratic societies… communities that had sustained them for millennia on lands they loved and respected.” The Democratic National Committee’s 2025 Summer Meeting opened with a formal land acknowledgment recognizing the Native Americans whose land the meeting occupied.Vice President Harris at a White House Tribal Nations Summit asserted, “we must also speak truth about… displacement, dispossession, and violence.”In 2021, Democratic members of Congress introduced House Resolution 709, which states: “The land that is now known as the United States of America was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples…”The resolution defined a land acknowledgment as recognizing Indigenous peoples as: “the original and traditional stewards of a given geographic area.” It also encouraged governments to perform land acknowledgments before public events.The Democratic Socialists of America, whom the Democrats claim are not them — despite letting them run in Democratic primaries — are making the case for turning America back to Native Americans. Their platform clearly calls for the “return land to First Nations, starting with expropriating State, Federal, and large private holdings, with the return of the rest of the land as soon as possible.”Everyone should be aware. We have seen this pattern before. The weird wing of the Democratic Party is on the march, and that march would give away your property as well as your country.
