Recently, I fell into a discussion with a seemingly ordinary girl on the train. During our conversation, she claimed that she was interested in becoming a so-called democratic socialist and that she thought America needed a fairer, more democratic third option. I quickly rebutted that the Democratic Socialists of America are neither fair nor democratic, and that they are the organization that wants to destroy our Constitution. After the rebuttal, she was surprised and slowly and simply responded, “I did not know that.”

I want to naively believe that typical DSA members are like that girl, and that they do not want to maliciously destroy our Constitution, but are instead swept into falling victim to the mass hysteria of socialism, becoming like lemmings jumping off a cliff. But with the DSA going on the offensive, it is fanciful to believe that more than a fraction of its members care about preserving our Constitution.
