There was a time when you had to hide your hatred of America to be elected, but not anymore.
In 2025, a Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) leader openly admitted to viewing the Constitution as an “obstacle” while discussing a “DSA faction” called the Marxist Unity Group.
Watch:
“Of the DSA caucuses that believe in democracy as an end goal, MUG is the only one that sees revolution as a necessity to get there. And of the causes in DSA which see the necessity of revolution, we’re the only ones that see democracy as the end goal,” he said. “So the two things we’re famous for are our commitment to a program and our hatred of the United States Constitution.”
“And what the program does is it gives us a roadmap to revolution and it gives us the obstacle that we finally will have to get over to have a revolution, which is the United States Constitution, the basis of the United States government,” he added. “And what the minimum maximum program specifically, what that format specifically, gives us is that roadmap. It gives us the minimum circumstances under which we would be able to take power and govern, and it gives us the maximum program, which is the goals that we’re actually aiming for. It also clarifies democracy as both the end goal and as part of the process to get there, ensuring the internal party democracy that we want to see in DSA. So it really wraps up the revolutionary tradition of democracy that I think socialism and abolitionism in the United States have always been a part of and aims it, you know, at a future that we can live in as a human species because I think absent a revolutionary democratic socialist republic in North America, we may not have a livable future.”
Despite being over a year old, these statements are resurfacing amid a surge in DSA candidate victories around the country.

This is legally referred to as sedition. When successfully implemented, you have committed an insurrection. If it isn’t successful, and you are arrested, and you are charged with treason.
Do you hear people in other countries talking about overthrowing their own government?— Erik (@erik0015) August 18, 2026
anti-american is the correct word and people are scared to use it. they aren’t even hiding it anymore. employers, donors and voters should treat “the constitution is the obstacle” as disqualifying instead of edgy.

WE need to get rid of these traitors to our country! Our relatives did not struggle and die in vain for these pampered brats to try to dismantle our Constitution and our country!

Yes they view the Constitution as a list of negative rights for the State or Collective. Individual freedom and rights must be removed to ensure the Elite agenda is met.
