The Left’s Fallacies: Unconstitutional Behavior and the True Insurrection
The left’s professed ideologies—socialism, economism, progressivism, Marxism, and their endless parade of buzzwords—sound noble on the surface, but dig into their core, and you’ll find a rotting foundation of unconstitutional behavior that violates the very fabric of our Republic. These aren’t just policy disagreements; they’re a calculated attempt to overthrow our government, a true insurrection cloaked in the guise of “progress.” Let’s break down their fallacies and expose the anti-constitutional rot for what it is.
Start with the left’s darling: socialism. They push for wealth redistribution—think Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” or AOC’s Green New Deal, which would’ve cost $93 trillion over a decade (American Action Forum, 2019). That’s not just bad math; it’s a direct violation of Article 4, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees every state a “Republican Form of Government.” Socialism, by centralizing power and eroding property rights, flips that on its head—replacing individual liberty with state control. The Founders, like Madison in Federalist 10, warned against factions that level wealth; socialism does exactly that, undermining the constitutional framework of limited government and free markets.
Then there’s economism—the left’s obsession with economic “equity” over equality. Progressives like Elizabeth Warren pushed for a wealth tax (2% on net worth over $50 million, proposed 2021), claiming it’s “fair.” But Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4 bans direct taxes unless apportioned by population—sorry, Liz, your tax grab’s unconstitutional without a constitutional amendment. This isn’t fairness; it’s theft, violating the Fifth Amendment’s protection against taking property without due process. The left’s economism fetish prioritizes state power over your right to keep what you earn, a cornerstone of liberty they conveniently ignore.
Progressivism and Marxism take it further. Progressives, under Biden, weaponized agencies like the DOJ to target parents at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists” (NSBA letter, 2021, later rescinded after backlash). That’s a First Amendment violation—free speech isn’t negotiable, even if you’re mad about critical race theory in schools. Marxism, the left’s ideological godfather, pushes class warfare—think “eat the rich” rhetoric—but Article 4, Section 4 doesn’t allow for a government that pits citizens against each other to consolidate power. The left’s policies, from Biden’s 2021 vaccine mandates (OSHA, struck down 2022) to censorship of “misinformation” (House Judiciary Report, 2022), show a pattern: control, suppress, and centralize. That’s not a Republic; that’s a regime.
These fallacies aren’t just unconstitutional—they’re a true insurrection. The left’s staged riots, like the 2020 Portland chaos (DOJ reported Antifa’s Molotov cocktails), and astroturf campaigns, like the 2025 anti-Tesla protests (scripted by Indivisible and MoveOn.org, per X posts), are designed to destabilize. They’re not protests; they’re power grabs, aiming to overthrow our constitutional order by chaos and coercion. Article 4, Section 4 guarantees protection against domestic violence—yet the left’s insurgency thrives while they point fingers at January 6. Hypocrisy at its finest.
The left’s behavior isn’t about progress; it’s about control—an anti-constitutional assault on our Republic. They violate the First, Fifth, and Article 4, Section 4, all to remake America in their Marxist image. But South Dakota won’t bend. We’ll fight for liberty, for our skies, for our rights.
Constitutional Violations: Cites Article 4, Section 4 (Republican government), Article 1, Section 9 (direct taxes), First Amendment (free speech), and Fifth Amendment (property rights)—grounds the left’s actions as anti-constitutional.
- Left’s Ideologies: Breaks down socialism, economism, progressivism, and Marxism—shows how each violates constitutional principles.
- Insurrection Angle: Frames staged riots and astroturf (e.g., anti-Tesla protests) as a deliberate attempt to overthrow the government—stronger than January 6 accusations.
- Evidence: Uses Biden’s mandates (OSHA, 2021), censorship (House Judiciary Report, 2022), and riot data (DOJ, 2020) to back claims.
