The Jihadist's Victory Shows that Ordinary Democrats Need to Stop Being the Tools of their Elites

When my younger brother was a tween, he fell in love with using the word “tool” as an insult. A tool is, in the urban dictionary definition, a person who is “used” by another for his/her own purposes. The tool lacks strong personal convictions on a certain issue and generally goes along with what he/she believes is expected of them without bothering to question the higher purpose. Once my brother discovered this word, he delightedly labeled everyone and anyone – myself, our father, my friends, (presumably) his own friends, etc. – as tools.

Today, a big problem with the ordinary, everyday Democrats is that there are far too many tools among them who are blindly following the official party propaganda.

We can see this from the election results from Tuesday. In New Jersey, in a safely Democrat U.S. House district, Adam Hamawy, a radical Muslim terror-supporting surgeon, won the primary, despite these facts:

Adam Hamawy testified on behalf of the "Blind Sheikh" Omar Abdel-Rahman, mastermind of the deadly 1993 World Trade Center bombing, concerning a conference to which Hamawy traveled with Abdel-Rahman where the sheikh and other jihadis promoted pro-terror views. According to the New York Post, which viewed the trial transcripts, Hamawy initially lied under oath and said the sheikh had not discussed jihad, only admitting the truth when confronted with evidence to the contrary. Hamawy traveled to Bosnia in 1994 with the “Benevolence International Foundation," which Bosnian authorities later shut down in an operation coordinated with U.S. authorities after they found the organization was a front for funding and supporting al-Qaida. Osama Bin Laden himself founded the offices where Hamawy worked.

Hamawy has never ceased his radical Jihadism:

Not only that, but it appears Hamawy is still aligning himself with terror movements. In 2024, he visited Gaza (where the overwhelming majority of residents support jihad) and falsely accused Israel of "genocide," an accusation repeatedly debunked but dangerously effective in fueling violent antisemitism. While there, Hamawy worked as a surgeon at Gaza's European Hospital, which was subsequently exposed as a literal Hamas command center. Israel later eliminated Hamas boss Mohammed Sinwar and other key terrorists in a tunnel right under the hospital. Israel's military confirmed that Hamas used the hospital as a command center during the Oct. 7 atrocities, before Hamawy arrived there. There's even evidence that Hamas was holding Israeli hostages in the tunnels there while Hamawy was working at the hospital, per the Washington Free Beacon.

Hamawy easily won his Democrat primary with almost 30%. Despite all the disturbing information above being easily found in numerous local media sources, including the New York Post. Seemingly, all that mattered to those primary voters was that Hamawy hated President Trump, the GOP, the Jews, Israel, and other popular Democrat targets.

Hamawy is just the latest crazy and dangerous politician the Democrats have produced. He joins actual Nazi, all-around-degenerate, Senate candidate Graham Platner; the terror-supporting Commie Radical Muslim New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani; the Palestinian Arab terror supporting and riot inciting Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and the Somali American terror and fraud supporter, and incest practitioner, Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

Since all these individuals hate Jews and are open socialists, I humbly suggest that we can accurately call them the “National Socialist – Nazi – Caucus.”

Now, I have been quite open about my criticisms of the Democrat leftist elites. I have pointed out that they disgustingly practice defamation-by-political-campaigning that labels their Republican presidential opponents – whether they be George W. Bush, John McCain, Mitt Romney, or Donald Trump – the modern-day Hitler, a dangerous wanna be religiously fundamentalist dictator who is also a racist and a misogynist. I – and others – have pointed out that these elites have created leftist groups that practice actual violence and criminal activities, such as can be seen in the recent anti-ICE rioting in New Jersey. I have pointed out that many of the Democrat campaigns are centered on the use of the “big lie” strategy. I have pointed out that the Democrat elites are constantly projecting their own authoritarianism onto the GOP. And I have been critical of the increasing level of violence that has been incited by the elites against the Trump administration, Republican and conservative politicians, and now, even ordinary Republican voters.

But the ordinary Democrat needs to share some of the blame for all this, too. They are voting for these radicals and supporting their leaders' violent and defamatory campaigns. And some of them are the ones conducting the physical attacks.

Now, it is very understandable that for an average Democrat supporter, who has a busy daily schedule, that he or she doesn’t have the time to implement a full investigation of the claims his/her party is peddling to him/her about every political or ideological subject. But, after all that has come out in recent decades, these voters should be making a more concerted effort to divine the real facts on at least some of the more politically charged issues.

Just as a shortcut, I would recommend that when the Democrat elites resort to the following key words – Donald Trump, Republicans, authoritarianism, lawfare, Nazism, ICE, illegal aliens, Israel, Islam, radical Islam, Islamophobia, terrorism, Jihadism – the ordinary, everyday Democrat voter should start off suspicious. For those topics, the ordinary Democrats should conduct a “reasonable” search of the topic online, which does not entail solely skimming MSM sources.

If Adam Hamawy is winning a House seat today, the ordinary Democrat voters are, by definition, not conducting reasonable searches. And no, I strongly reject the idea that all ordinary Democrats are themselves radical and dangerous.

I know some of them, so spare me that BS.

Unfortunately, the ordinary Democrats are also not helping us “keep” our Republic, as Benjamin Franklin once admonished all Americans to do. It is way past the time that average Democrats do so, and stop being the tools of their elites.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
