SOCIALIST WAVE? NOT HAPPENING — YET.
2025 Election Reality Check: The Left’s Cracks Are Showing, and America’s Still Fighting Back
As a conservative, I take no joy in watching the radical left's grip tighten on our cities and states—yet even the most disheartening Democratic wins should remind us that their internal fractures are America’s opportunity. What unfolds in the Democrat Party doesn't just echo in blue strongholds; it reverberates nationwide, dragging us all toward higher taxes, open borders, and woke extremism.
Take New York City: Zohran Mamdani, that Islamo-Marxist firebrand with a history of bigoted rants and socialist fever dreams, slimed his way to victory in the mayoral race, fueled by unchecked immigration waves that flooded the polls with his ideological clones.[0][2] President Trump warned it'd turn the Big Apple into a federal funding black hole, and now we're staring down rent controls that crush small businesses, defund-the-police lunacy, and a mayor who prioritizes globalist grievances over Gotham grit.[40] It's a wake-up call: Sanctuary-city policies aren't compassion; they're chaos importation, and conservatives must hammer this in every midterms push.
But here's the silver lining—and proof that the socialist wave is NOT happening. In Minnesota, Omar Fateh, Ilhan Omar's anti-Zionist (Ilhan - with a record of anti-White), big-government soulmate, crashed and burned in his Minneapolis mayoral bid, conceding to incumbent Jacob Frey after failing to rally even his own Somali clan base amid fraud allegations that exposed the DFL's dirty underbelly.[10][45] This wasn't just a loss; it was a repudiation of the hard-left’s divisive identity politics and anti-cop agenda, which alienated working-class voters tired of riots and radicalism.[14] Fateh's flop shows Somali-Americans—and everyday Minnesotans—aren’t buying the "progressive" snake oil anymore.
The real blueprint for GOP resurgence shines brighter in Virginia and New Jersey, where Democrats like Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill clawed to victory not by embracing AOC-style socialism, but by desperately pivoting to the center—downplaying their party's extremes and whispering sweet nothings about fiscal restraint and public safety.[20][30][50][55][56]
Spanberger’s “Affordable Virginia Plan” was a cynical dodge around Trump’s tariffs and federal layoffs, framing herself as the anti-woke pragmatist to flip the governorship blue—yet her win underscores voter exhaustion with the left’s fringes, handing Republicans a roadmap: Outflank these pretenders by owning the center-right lane on inflation, borders, and law-and-order.[23][50] Sherrill pulled the same trick in Jersey, trouncing Trump-endorsed Jack Ciattarelli by leaning into anti-Trump fearmongering while burying her progressive skeletons.[32][55]
Bottom line: The Dems' "big tent" is a circus tent, sagging under Mamdani’s radicals while propped up by Spanberger and Sherrill’s moderates. As conservatives, we celebrate the cracks—Fateh’s defeat is our gain—and double down on exposing the socialists for what they are: destroyers of the American Dream.
With midterms looming, let’s mobilize: Secure the borders, slash regulations, and remind voters that real freedom comes from the right, not the radicals. The socialist wave? NOT HAPPENING — YET. But only if we fight.
Notes & Context
Zohran Mamdani (NYC Mayor):
Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist and vocal critic of Israel, won the 2025 NYC mayoral election in a ranked-choice outcome, defeating moderate Eric Adams. His victory was bolstered by high turnout in immigrant-heavy districts and progressive mobilization, despite concerns over his far-left economic and foreign policy positions.
Omar Fateh (Minneapolis):
Fateh, a DFL state senator and progressive backed by Rep. Ilhan Omar, lost decisively to incumbent Jacob Frey. Allegations of ballot harvesting and voter fraud in Somali precincts surfaced post-election, though not proven. Frey’s centrist, pro-police stance resonated with moderates and independents.
Abigail Spanberger (VA Governor):
Former CIA officer and moderate Democrat Abigail Spanberger won the 2025 Virginia gubernatorial race by distancing herself from national Democrats and emphasizing fiscal responsibility and public safety. She narrowly defeated Republican Jason Miyares by framing herself as a “common-sense” leader.
Mikie Sherrill (NJ Governor):
Rep. Mikie Sherrill won the New Jersey governorship in 2025, defeating Republican Jack Ciattarelli (previously close in 2021). She ran a centrist campaign, avoiding progressive slogans and focusing on suburban priorities like education and infrastructure.
