Ed Morrissey: It's Not a Red Scare - It's a Code Red

Ed Morrissey: It's Not a Red Scare - It's a Code Red

Author: Salem Podcast Network July 28, 2026 Duration: 1:00

 Abolish the Electoral College. Replace the President and Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to Congress. Eliminate the Senate. Seize ownership of “essential industries.”

These are not just hysterical claims about the Democratic Socialists of America. This is the platform the DSA adopted and published. DSA co-chair Megan Romer confirmed on Fox News Sunday that the DSA and its candidates will pursue those goals, and by any means necessary.

These DSA activists and candidates do not want to just win elections. They want a toehold for a revolution. It is not a game to them, nor a pose, and the events of the last century make very clear what the outcomes of such a revolution will be. Even winning an attempted revolution against the constitutional order would devastate the country, and the DSA does not plan on losing it. 

When communists tell you who they are, believe them.
