Minneapolis Mayor Loses Democratic Endorsement to Somali Socialist Candidate

Progressive Muslim Socialists are having a good electoral season this year. We have a case of PMS. 

First, Mamdani won the Democratic Party primary in New York City, and now, in Minneapolis, Omar Fateh has ousted Democratic-Farmer-Labor Mayor Jacob Frey in a bid to secure the endorsement for mayor. This does not guarantee him a victory in the September primary, but it gives him a leg up in the race and makes him the favorite.

Both candidates are Muslim immigrants who relied heavily on the Islamic communities to secure their victories, and both are idiosyncratic in their devotion to Islam, holding extremely left-wing social views and embracing socialism as their primary allegiance. Their appeal to Islamists is based on shared religion, but their larger appeal is to the radicals taking over the Democratic Party.

The Islamist/socialist/communist coalition is based on a shared desire to destroy the current liberal order, which all of them abhor. In Minnesota, there is an added layer–the Democratic Party enabling corruption on an unprecedented scale, with hundreds of millions of dollars flowing to scams that primarily benefit the Somali community, who in turn reward Democrats with votes. 

I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. https://t.co/rU6v90TJPp pic.twitter.com/9KX3jSMvcP

Omar Fateh was part of the Feeding Our Future scam–the largest COVID-19 fraud in the country. Hundreds of millions of dollars flowed from the federal and state governments to fraudulent Somali-run nonprofits supposedly feeding school kids who were no longer getting subsidized school lunches from the state. 

When the Education Department detected the fraud, Attorney General Keith Ellison and State Senator Omar Fateh intervened to get the money back flowing.

Somalis have used that money to good effect, becoming a dominant force in Minneapolis politics. Ilhan Omar is our Congresswoman, several Somalis are not in the state legislature, and it sure looks like the City of Minneapolis is about to become a Somali-run city. A good chunk of our city is already nicknamed “Little Mogadishu,” and it is pretty common to see women in Niqabs.

We are supposed to feel awful about not liking the Islamicisation of our city, but I certainly don’t feel bad at all about it. It is profoundly disturbing to see large numbers of my fellow citizens, hidden head to toe in black, unable to speak my language. People who don’t share my culture and who cut themselves off from the larger community.

The whole “diversity is our strength” claim is ridiculous. As with many things, there is a Bell Curve in such things. Too little diversity is bad–uniformity in ideas, ways of life, and lifestyles can be stultifying. A moderate amount of diversity–within an Overton Window in which we can cross-communicate and learn from each other–is great and much to be desired. 

Too much? Let’s face it, the cultural overlap between Somalia and Minnesota is combustible. 

Still, liberals see it as virtuous to reject our culture and embrace one that considers marrying pre-teens normal, and which tolerates the abuse of women. 

Mogadishu?

It’s the same as going to bat for rapists, murderers, and gang bangers as long as they came here illegally. It is because they are a threat to American culture that they are embraced. Why not have a Margarita with an MS-13 member?

The next generation of Democratic Party politicians is unified by their hatred of America and ordinary Americans. There is no lower form of life than a married white heterosexual “cisgender” male, and he should be punished and forced to give everything he has to “refugees” whom he and his community welcomed to give them a better life.

It is insane. But it seems to be the future of the Democratic Party. No doubt, the candidates for president will do a soft-shoe dance, trying to avoid discussing these issues because doing so is politically poisonous, but the fact is that this is the new face of the Democratic Party. 

This worries me, both because pendulums swing and the Democrats will make electoral gains in swing districts and regain some power regardless of their ideology–in elections such as 2006, when Americans were disgusted with George Bush and Republicans, even ridiculous Democrats were swept to power. 

And because the Republican Party needs a viable and reasonable opposition to keep them honest and grounded. Single-party dominance leads to stagnation and self-dealing.
