The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have surged in membership by 10,000 since March, for a small total of 66,000 members overall. This is the group associated with Bernie Sanders, AOC, and her Squad. Their unintentionally hilarious antics of PC lunacy make for a great comic break in the tumult of modern politics. Here’s one of their most articulate spokesman.

“People are really starting to just look around and say, ‘Man, capitalism isn’t working,'” an unnamed co-chair of the Detroit DSA chapter told the press. “If the markets can’t even produce hand sanitizer or toilet paper or masks during a plague—what good is this system?”

I mean, where do you even begin with that, man? Well, perhaps with: If markets can’t produce toilet paper then where are the products coming from that consumers are buying in bulk?

“There’s the sense that (this situation) is unacceptable and immoral, and that feeling is really pushing people into the meticulous work of organizing,” another Bolshevik cretin said. “We have to try to work toward harnessing that momentum and energy to create structures that work for the majority of people.”

Love the “immoral” part. You mean like the morality of socialist regimes all over the world during the last century that killed hundreds of millions of innocent men, women, and children?

Founded in 1982, DSA had only 5,000 members in 2015 when Sanders mounted his first presidential run. The 2018 election of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a perfect example of a democratic socialist, gave the group a boost.

But, here’s the best example of the DSA in action. Last August, the DSA National Convention came to a sudden and Dadaesque halt when one delegate complained of “sensory overload” from “guys” whispering in the room. This prompted another “comrade,” later identified as “Tanya,” to grab the microphone to angrily demand an immediate end to the use of “gendered language.”

Yeah, you read that right. “Guys,” as in “you guys,” is considered hate speech by the DSA. Hilarity ensued.

“Uh, quick point of personal privilege, um guys,” began the delegate, who identified himself as James Jackson from Sacramento, and specified that he uses the “he/him” personal pronouns.

As soon as Jackson said the word “guys,” Comrade Tanya could be seen becoming visibly irate in a livestream video of the convention posted online. She was later identified as a Canadian. Rumors she brought a pet moose named Gracie to the convention are not verified.

“I just want to say, can we please keep the chatter to the minimum? I’m one of the people who’s very, very prone to sensory overload,” Jackson said. At this point Tanya and her absurdist supporters could be seen waving “Jazz hands” in the air, instead of applauding, as he spoke. Jazz hands are considered by the clinically insane to be less “triggering” to those sensitive to loud sounds. Which makes no sense on Tanya’s part, as she was about to upbraid Jackson for using the horrible bigoted obscenity inherent in the word “guys.”

Jackson went on, “There’s a lot of whispering and chattering going on. It’s making it very difficult for me to focus. Please, I know we’re all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the chatter to a minimum? It’s affecting my ability to focus.”

“Thank you, comrade,” the chair responded.

Within seconds, Tanya stumbled toward the microphone to yell, “Point of personal privilege! Point of personal privilege!” She and Gracie were not be silenced. When not immediately recognized she got louder. Jackson couldn’t take it.

“I have ALREADY asked people to be mindful of the chatter of their comrades who are sensitive to sensory overload,” Jackson said. “And that goes DOUBLE (cue Tanya) for the heckling and the hissing. It is also triggering to my anxiety. Like, being comradely isn’t just for like, keeping things civil or whatever. It’s so people aren’t going to get triggered, and so that it doesn’t affect their performance as a delegate.”

Jackson’s admonition only brought more strange noises, combined with jazz hands, to the event courtesy of Comrade Tanya and her coterie. The situation degenerated even further from there, as the video in the above tweet highlights. This is the comic reality of the DSA. Let’s hope their membership rises even more. We could all use the laughs.
