Congress just took a rare, necessary stand by passing a resolution that explicitly condemns the horrors of socialism — a bitter but welcome reminder that radical policies come with real-world costs. The House approved the measure 285-98, a vote that should make every sensible American proud that sanity still holds sway in the people’s chamber.
This firm rebuke came just ahead of an eyebrow-raising Oval Office meeting between President Trump and New York City’s mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist whose agenda screams big government and heavy-handed experiments. Whether this tete-a-tete is theater or a test of political will, it gives conservatives a chance to expose the practical dangers of the left’s promises and ask the hard questions voters keep hearing: who pays for it and what freedoms are sacrificed?
It’s telling that even some top House Democrats joined Republicans in denouncing socialism, a sign that mainstream voters and savvy politicians alike understand the electoral peril of embracing radicalism. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other vulnerable Democrats sided with the resolution, suggesting that the political left’s loudest voices don’t speak for all in the party and that even many Democrats fear the ballot-box backlash of unabashed socialism.
Mamdani’s policy wish list — free buses, government-run grocery stores, and sky-high minimum wages — reads like a spending manifesto that threatens the city’s taxpayers and small businesses who actually create jobs. His campaign rhetoric about “seizing the means of production” and sweeping redistribution is not academic; it translates into higher taxes, less incentive to invest, crumbling services, and fewer opportunities for the working people conservatives fight to protect.
This vote should be a wake-up call to every American who values liberty and prosperity: socialism is not a compassionate fix, it’s an engine of dependency and authoritarianism masquerading as fairness. President Trump meeting with Mamdani puts the fight over the future of our cities on full display — and conservatives must use every forum to point out the math that leftists refuse to explain.
Hardworking patriots deserve leaders who defend free enterprise, reward effort, and keep neighborhoods safe from the chaos that follows when governments grow too big and too bold. Keep your eyes on Washington and New York — and hold every elected official accountable if they cozy up to dangerous, discredited ideologies that have failed everywhere they’ve been tried.
