I & I Editorial BoardThat headline might seem a bit provocative, but it’s serious. Because while the violence across Europe has been described as “student protests,” it is anything but that. In fact, it’s a calculated effort by highly organized and well-financed extreme left groups to sow anarchy across Western civilization.
Here in the U.S., the hard-left Democratic Party has all but declared it’s no longer a party of working-class people and middle-class taxpayers. It’s dominated by the Democratic Socialists of America and closely allied and networked with the global movement to destroy capitalism and impose socialism.
An exaggeration? Nope.
According to “DataRepublican,” a well-known data-crunching online influencer who previously worked as an analyst for the Pentagon, the Democratic Socialists of America have plans for all of us. She cites literally “thousands of new transcripts and hundreds of recordings” showing what those plans are.
“You’ve heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits,” DataRepublican wrote on X.
“What you have not heard is — there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become ‘foot soldiers’ in constant clashes with the administration to cross a ‘red line’ or invoke a ‘doomsday scenario’ — meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027.
“Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors. 2028 then becomes a vote on whether to keep American governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a ‘young and brown’ demographic.”
In short, the end to our constitutional republic as we know it.
Who’s behind it? The “United Democracy Alliance,” the same group behind the “No Kings” protests. Of course, these agitators don’t verbally advocate violence. But as has happened across Europe, once “protests” begin, violence, arson, rape, and looting aren’t far behind.
It’s not disgruntled “students,” angry over rising costs and fewer jobs, as media reports suggest.
Here in the U.S., the semi-elderly naïfs who populate the “No Kings” and other movements are being used by hardcore socialists and communists to give their “movement” a patina of middle-class respectability. They’ll soon be tossed aside in favor of a more radical agenda, as happened across Europe.
What’s the link? An Italian group called “Autistici/Inventati,” or A/I Collective, that already “builds and operates the digital infrastructure for violent Antifa cells and other far-left militants across the world,” according to the U.S. State Department.
The A/I Collective is “designed to support the operations of far-left terrorist networks, built to enable them to organize, recruit, communicate, disseminate propaganda, share target information and tactics, and carry out violent attacks — all while remaining anonymous, untraceable, and beyond the reach of the law.”
That’s interference. Fortunately, in August the U.S. deemed A/I a “specially designated global terrorist,” meaning that it faces painful sanctions on anyone who does business with them.
That’s one victorious skirmish in a long war against extreme leftist groups working to destroy the U.S. (and all of Western civilization) as we know it.
But it doesn’t end there. As the Washington Post reports, a group of “security officials” having experience “countering authoritarianism abroad” now warns darkly of possible interference in the midterm election by the Trump administration.
Not a peep about possible foreign interference by violent leftist extremist groups and “networks” intent on exporting the EU’s riots to the U.S. Or, for that matter, the DSA-dominated Democratic Party’s overt plans to overturn the Constitution and impose socialism here.
Even in the Senate, Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a former CIA analyst, recently announced she’s ready for a Trump election-stealing scenario, most likely “in the last two weeks of the election, (as) they somehow come up with a national security incident that only they can protect us from.”
With many polls now showing Dems with a lead in the midterms, all that will have to happen is for Republicans to hold the Senate and do better than expected in the House, and that will be proof enough for Slotkin and her Deep-State allies. What will they promote? Riots? Demonstrations? A takeover of government through violent insurrection?
The Democratic Socialists of America are already planting the seeds of violence if things don’t go their way in the election, with their “New Battlefield Project,” calling on 10,000 “volunteers” to guard polling places.
Here’s what’s really happening.
“Activists are planning mass protests if the Trump administration tries to interfere with voting or ballot counting,” U.S. News reported in September. “And legal scholars are distributing white papers advising judges what they should do if the government tries to seize ballots.”
Meanwhile, “A small group of U.S. national security officials has been discreetly advising state governments and congressional lawmakers” on how to prepare for “Trump administration interference in midterm elections,” the Washington Post reports.
Sounds pretty much like they plan their own interference if the GOP wins. Why? President Trump, by using Elon Musk and DOGE to dismantle USAID, which routinely funneled billions of dollars to radical groups overseas and extremist groups here, made mortal enemies of hard-left Democrats.
Still think what’s happening in Europe can’t happen here? It can. There’s nothing the left would like more than nationwide demonstrations to paralyze the Trump administration. Just another Color Revolution. Unfortunately, this one would be Red, White & Blue.

That’s a whole lot of crazy.
There are TWO members of Congress who are members of the DSA.
Democrats are the ones supporting democracy. The Trump adminstration folks are the ones defying our laws and our Constitution.
The Trump Administration is not defying our laws and Constitution. Tell us, please, where you think they are?

How many times is “democracy” or any of its permutations found in the Constitution? I’ll give you a clue: It’s a whole number less than one.
In other words, democracy is not a qualification for our laws or our Constitution. And the Democrat Party has only been about changing our Constitution.
Why are they advocating for the abolition of the Senate, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court?
The word Republic was used. That’s another word for a representative democracy.
Thanks for showing that you are anti-democratic.
How many democrats are advocating for the abolition of the Senate, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court? Almost none. But Trumpists are very dishonest.
No,it isn’t! You can delude yourself and try to delude others but bull! We don’t elect a President.
The whole lot of something is contained in ge’s insane DemocratSlaveryParty operative’s false statement and it smells.
Pretending that the Democratic Party is the more racist of the two is dishonest.
Pretending? BravoSierra. I was born a DemocratSlaveryParty stooge many years ago. It took me 28 years to wake up to exactly what the DemocratSlaveryParty is. Look at the voting rights history. Take your wolf ticket elsewhere.
Don’t feed the troll
We get it. You hate having a secure border. You love keeping murderers and rapists in our communities, and hate having them removed. You cheer for the criminals, and despise middle-class and working-class Americans who pay for everything.
Yes, we get it.

It’s so sad.
When I was younger (in the 1950s and 60s), all American citizens, no matter what party or status, were for America. Voting was inviolate.
Now they sway towards their own political sphere: Democrats, Judges, Congressmen, Senators, citizens. Republicans also sway, but not so much. America is now outnumbered-and by its own citizens and illegals and socialist/communists and jidhadists.
How sad. America will stop being America when she-not is attacked from the outside-but she is being burrowed and wheedled down from the inside.
The article by I&I reads like it is a doomsday prophecy. But, then again, no one in their right mind would have ever thought that crazy, insane, radical jihadists would fly two passenger jet airliners in the WTC and Pentagon either. In my humble opinion, since 9/11 the trajectory of the way things have gone on in the world has led me to believe that we, as a society and culture, are rapidly closing in toward the end times. For it is written, “For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to right teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever they want to hear. They will reject the truth and follow strange myths.” (II Timothy 4:3-4, NLT)
The rioting and looting that took place in France and many other European countries resembled the rioting that took place in the United States in 2020. The same rioting that went on in Europe can happen here. I hope and pray to God it doesn’t happen. But take heart, for those who are believers and read this, understand it is written, “Then I saw the beast gathering the kings of the earth and their armies in order to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army. And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophets who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast – miracles that deceived all who accepted the mark of the beast and who worshipped his statue. Both the beast and the false prophets were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.” (Revelation 19:19-20, NLT)
For anyone who reads this, I’m not trying to scare or shock anybody. There will come a day when Jesus Christ will return to gather His own. Accept Jesus now as your Lord and Savior while there is still time, because after He comes, it will be too late. For it is written, “For God says, “At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.” Indeed, God is ready to help you right now. Today is the day of salvation.” (II Corinthians 6:2, NLT)
Thank you. True words and the reason not to fear the coming chaos if you are a believer.
It is alarming how easily many of our citizens can be deluded.
Similar to what we see now in Europe.
Look how easy it was for the media’s editors to set off delusional outrage that destroyed businesses, offices, cars and murdered 22 people all angered because a petty criminal swallowed the drugs in his pocket and essentially committed suicide. And the media editors inflamed citizens to riot for George Floyd.
Yes, fear the editors of our media, as well as the DSA, who make mountains out of molehills and walk away without accountability. Fire those editors to save the USA from the next mass delusion and from the madness of crowds.
Be advised, my friends and I arent gonna be nice to violent Antifa the way the Feds and Proud boys are.
Stop referring to these people as Democratic Socialsts. They are not Democratic Socialists; they are Marxists, specifically Trotskyites.
Every time a conservative writer refers to these people as Democratic Socialists the write has already lost the battle for conceptual framing in the court of public opinion. Democratic Socialsts are kind-hearted Nordic people who just want things like subsidized daycare for kids and subsidized health care for adults. They are affable people with good intentions.
Democratic Socialists do not plan the violent overthrow of legitimate opposition governments; Trotskyites do. Democratic Socialists do not abuse the legal process to destroy their political opponents; Trotskyites do. Democratic Socialists do not stage violent protests to cause mayhem; Trotskyites do.
Get the language right or don’t bother writing.
