The Democrats now have their own MAGA. And this is scary. I still cannot believe this insanity. Mamdani-backed socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier just won the Democratic primary in New York’s 13th Congressional District and is now well positioned to win the seat in November. I predicted that the backlash to Trump would produce a wave of ultra-left radicals who are completely detached from reality. And here we are. Her record is genuinely radical. She helped organize protests with signs calling for “the total eradication of Western civilization” and tweeted “Marg Bar Amrika” (“Death to America”). She has called for abolishing the police altogether - “No more police at all, ever” - and for abolishing prisons. In a recent interview, she declined to walk back that position when asked point-blank whether she would jail a murderer. In 2022, she described U.S. support for Ukraine as America “bullying Russia.” During the pandemic, she promoted calls to nationalize utilities, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies, and to seize property from landlords. This is extreme. The closest comparison on the right is Marjorie Taylor Greene. If you’ve been alarmed by MTG, I think Darializa Avila Chevalier is even worse - perhaps much worse. And she isn’t a fluke. She is one of three Mamdani-backed candidates who won their primaries this week. Across the country, candidates like this continue to win in deep-blue cities. And this is scary.
