Behind today’s radical, Jew-hating Democratic party is a monster created by Barack Obama

Two hundred and ten years ago this summer, a 19-year-old woman named Mary Shelley, bored one stormy afternoon, decided to write the scariest story ever told.

It was a tale of a brilliant and arrogant man who wanted to change the world but ended up creating a monster. She named him Barack Obama.

All right, she named him Dr. Frankenstein. But had the great author been around to witness Adam Hamawy win the Democratic primary in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, she would’ve understood right away that she was looking at a familiar tale of hubris, malice and ghouls on the loose.

Like Shelley’s mad physician, Barack Obama, too, had an appetite for re-ordering the natural world. He took Bill Clinton’s party — one that allowed candidates in some parts of the country to be pro-gun and pro-life and still consider themselves Democrats in good standing — strapped it to the slab and shocked it with a lightning bolt of radicalism.

The creature that emerged from the experiment no longer talked about fiscal responsibility and government reform. It howled instead about opening our borders, legalizing gay marriage and redefining politics as the pursuit of identity by other means.

Antisemitic alliance

Under Obama, the Democrats became a gorgeous mosaic of victimized minorities, encouraged to seek retribution for wrongs real or perceived by grabbing a pitchfork and going out in search of a conservative to blame.

For a while, it all went swimmingly. Obama built a forever campaign that encouraged everyone to give to the party — not only their money but also their loyalty. Endless chatter about “the right side of history” was designed to make it clear that unless you wholeheartedly supported whatever the president and his aides told you was proper, good and desired, you’d be transgressing against history itself.

Tech companies, universities and other institutions soon fell in line, giving us execrable phenomena like cancel culture.

We all saw the might of Obama’s creation during Donald Trump’s disastrous first term in office: At the push of a button, a democratically elected president was made to appear to be the second coming of Mussolini.

And we saw it even more clearly during Obama’s third term, conducted via another Frankenstein-like creation, the brain-dead Joe Biden.

But as every reader of Mary Shelley’s knows, eventually the monster gets loose, grows mad and wreaks havoc. Welcome to the Democratic Party of 2026.

To cement his coalition, Obama encouraged what is now known as the Red-Green Alliance, bringing together progressives keen on socialism and Muslims adhering to Sharia law.

The one thing both odd bedfellows had in common, of course, was Jew hatred, now as then a potent political fuel.

Who could ever imagine this coalition would eventually promote demonic candidates like Hamawy, who testified on behalf of Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh who inspired the 1993 World Trade Center bombing?

The answer, of course, is everyone, or at least anyone even vaguely familiar with scary stories. Because in horror tales, careless actions always have disastrous consequences.

Add Jersey to the list

When you teach people that politics isn’t about working together to build a better community but about fighting each other over whose grievance is more pressing, what you get is a system that promotes the most pernicious players.

And as you can understand by studying any Third World nation anywhere in the world, encouraging unending bickering between different identity groups rewards none but the most violent and vile in our midst.

That’s how you get guys like Graham Platner, who seems to have never met a Nazi he didn’t wish to emulate.

Or creeps like Zohran Mamdani, who kicked off his public career by rapping lovingly about terrorists.

Now we can add Hamawy, too, to this list — but the jihad-fancier from Jersey won’t be the last abomination unleashed on America courtesy of Obama’s Democratic Party.

Because as every horror fan will tell you, monsters, once released, are very hard to rein in.
