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.

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!”

    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.
