In another spectacular display of leftist ideals running amok, the nation’s capital could soon have a democratic socialist at the helm. Janice Lewis George, who’s been leading in the district’s inaugural ranked-choice mayoral race, seems set to bring socialism straight to the heart of Washington, D.C. Her platform resembles a grab bag of everything liberals dream about: free transit, government-funded child care, and, of course, an impressive amount of the ever-popular anti-Trump rhetoric. It’s almost as if she borrowed her campaign agenda from a book of left-wing fairy tales.

People in D.C., she claims, are looking for a leader who will stand up to Trump, demand the removal of ICE, and scream for statehood—because nothing says leadership like more bureaucracy. It’s an agenda that likely warms the hearts of the Democratic Socialists of America while leaving others wondering if the capital will soon be offering classes on how to be perpetually offended.

Meanwhile, President Trump is reportedly feeling quite optimistic about Republican prospects for the upcoming midterms. With candidates like Janice leading the charge in typical blue strongholds, it’s no wonder the GOP is eyeing potential wins. The madness unfolding on the left seems to be driving some political sanity back into fashion. Trump, never one to miss a chance to point out the ludicrous nature of the opposition, is doing a victory dance of sorts—no choreography needed.

The numbers echo his sentiments. Incredibly reliable polls—at least as reliable as political predictions ever get—are showing a noticeable tightening between Republicans and Democrats. The initial double-digit leads for Democrats have dwindled, and even critics might begin to see this as more of a slapstick comedy than a political landscape. The Democrats seem to be grappling with not just an opposition party but their own internal chaos.

While the Democratic Socialists flourish with their organized meetings and better funding than the Democratic National Committee, some wonder if all these promises of universal benefits are just inventive fiction. The DSA’s influence grows as they present alluring tales of free services and idealistic change—because who needs a grounded plan when you can dangle dream-like legislation? As these socialist ideologies creep further into mainstream politics, conservatives can only hope that common sense will eventually reawaken in the American electorate. Until then, perhaps they should brace themselves for another entry in the saga of “Either Us or the Apocalypse.”
