Trump ramps up attacks on Democrats as ‘godless Communists’ ahead of November’s midterms

2026-06-26 23:13 UTC

President Donald Trump on Friday seized on the electoral success of several democratic socialist candidates to ramp up his attacks on the Democratic Party, claiming it was being taken over by “godless Communists” who pose an existential threat to the nation. The heated rhetoric marked the latest bid by Trump to portray Democrats as political extremists ahead of November’s midterms — even though portrayals of even the party’s most liberal candidates as “communists” are far from reality. “These are hard core, godless Communists,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post earlier on Friday, an accusation he repeated during remarks to a gathering of social conservatives. “This is the Greatest Threat to our Country since its Founding 250 years ago!”

Godless commies who are not in the Epstein Files. Unlike Trump, who stars the Epstein Files.

Letting the government do anything good for you and your community, is the Republicans’ definition of communism and socialism. According to Republicans in Congress and the Trump admin and the Supreme Court, the role of the federal government is to subsidize billionaires and trillionaires, undertake vanity DC projects that are utter failures, start pointless wars they can’t finish, make everything unaffordable, tax Americans through tariffs, pardon criminals only in exchange for bribes gratuities, and send goon squads to harass immigrants and dissenters. Under these terms, who wouldn’t want communism and socialism?

One can only wish. I bet if godless communists were ruling the US, the entire world would be in a better place right now. Or at least there wouldn’t be an orange pedophile at the helm of the US, licking a trillionaire’s boots and listening to his nazi master.

Wasn’t Iran the greatest threat to the US since its founding? Or fentanyl? Or immigrants from Mexico? Or trans women in sports? Or paper straws?

Man I wish more politicians were godless. As it stands, atheists and “nones” are still grossly under represented at all levels, even relative to the number that exist in the county. Average citizens won’t necessarily call themselves atheist, but even if you include agnostics and “nones” and other unaffiliated people, it’s somewhere around 30%. In Congress, it’s four people (which is better than last Congress when it was just mother fucking Kristen Sinema.). It’s worse than pretty much every other religious categorization. Here’s an article on it: www.pewresearch.org/…/faith-on-the-hill-2025/

Remember that time he called mamdani and evil communist terrorist Muslim jihadist and the worst thing that can happen to New York. Then he won, met Trump and then Trump said he’ll be great for New York and is a nice guy. Almost like the guy has no actual morals or ideals or anything really. And is in fact just evil himself.
