Stupidocrisy: The Big Tent Keeps Moving Left :: By Bill Wilson

Published on: by RR10

The Democratic Party’s “big tent” is filling up with openly Marxist and communist candidates.

NY Democrat candidate Darializa Avila-Chevalier openly celebrated communist and Marxist ideas on social media. But party leaders largely chose inclusion over condemnation. US Rep Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) defended the “big tent” philosophy. Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) dismissed the candidate’s previous statements and welcomed “new members and new ideas.” Meanwhile, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) stood almost alone in warning that the “dirtbag left” has become openly anti-American.

When your own members are raising alarms while leadership shrugs, something important is happening. And it is—dangerously so.

Then there is this: A recent poll found that a majority of Democrats say they would vote for a democratic socialist and hold favorable views of socialism. Those numbers do not mean most Democrats support communism, nor do they suggest they embrace every radical slogan heard on college campuses or social media. They do suggest that ideas once confined to the political fringe are steadily entering the mainstream conversation.

Political movements rarely leap from moderation to extremism overnight. They travel one small compromise at a time. Every movement eventually reaches a point where its leaders either establish clear boundaries or continue expanding the tent until the tent itself becomes the message. Today, the Democratic leadership is expanding its coalition and redefining its principles. Or maybe it’s been this way all along.

History provides plenty of reasons for alarm. Marxist governments have promised equality while delivering oppression. Communist revolutions have claimed liberation while producing censorship, imprisonment, confiscation of property, and the deaths of millions.

America certainly has its faults, but its constitutional republic has generated more freedom, prosperity, innovation, and opportunity than any Marxist system ever created. That heritage deserves defense, not apology.

Senator Fetterman’s willingness to challenge his own side deserves attention because voices of internal correction often reveal truths outsiders cannot. Healthy political parties police their own extremes. Unhealthy ones excuse them until the extreme becomes the new center. The majority in the Democratic Party are excusing the extreme.

Citizens of every political persuasion should ask where today’s compromises may lead tomorrow.

In Matthew 15:14, Jesus warned of following those with evil hearts. “They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”

A nation does not stumble into decline through one election or one candidate. It drifts there by ignoring warning signs, applauding destructive ideas, and convincing itself that every new direction somehow leads to greater freedom.

America has survived because generations understood that liberty requires responsibility, truth, and moral courage. Those are the principles that deserve a larger tent than the evil of communism.

When leaders celebrate confusion, excuse radicalism, and call it progress, the ditch ahead grows deeper with every step. Say it with me… Stupidocrisy.

The Hypocrisy Behind the Mask :: By Bill Wilson

Published on: by RR10

History shows that authoritarian movements often present themselves as champions of equality, justice, and compassion while quietly rewarding allies, silencing critics, and dividing people into favored and disfavored groups. Two recent stories illustrate that pattern.

One reports allegations that a senior official connected with the Southern Poverty Law Center, which designates hate groups and says it opposes Nazism, the KKK, etc., diverted donor money to someone reportedly connected with neo-Nazi ideology. The other questions New York mayor Zohran Mamdani’s motives after shutting off power in a Jewish neighborhood in the Bronx. These events clearly expose the widening gap between public rhetoric and public conduct.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has spent years labeling many conservative and Judeo-Christian organizations as “hate groups,” a designation that has carried serious consequences for ministries, family organizations, and public figures. Those labels have influenced media coverage, corporate decisions, and public opinion.

If reports that donor money flowed to someone with neo-Nazi connections are accurate, the irony is impossible to ignore. Organizations claiming moral authority carry an even greater responsibility to demonstrate integrity. Likewise, leaders who promise to represent every citizen must apply equal concern to every neighborhood and every religious community. Public trust depends upon consistent principles rather than selective favoritism. A standard that changes according to ideology soon becomes no standard at all.

The deeper concern reaches beyond these individual stories. Socialist and Marxist political philosophies frequently promise fairness while concentrating authority in the hands of a political class that decides who benefits and who bears the burden. Throughout history, communist systems have often spoken the language of equality while creating privileged elites, suppressing dissent, and rewarding loyalty over justice.

Scripture reminds us that the human heart is the real issue. A political movement becomes dangerous when it places ideology above truth and power above principle. Christians evaluate leaders through the lens of God’s Word rather than campaign slogans or emotional appeals. A society built upon unequal justice eventually loses confidence in every institution entrusted with serving the people.

Jesus confronted this very spirit when He rebuked the religious leaders of His day for projecting righteousness while hiding corruption beneath the surface. His words in Matthew 23:25 remain just as relevant in modern politics:

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.”

The lesson reaches beyond one party or one election. God calls His people to seek truth, practice discernment, and reject hypocrisy wherever it appears. Leaders earn confidence through honesty, equal justice, and humble service. When appearances become more important than character, the mask eventually slips, and what lies beneath becomes visible for everyone to see.
