New York Democratic congressional candidate, Paula Collins, has come under fire for her comments suggesting that MAGA supporters should be sent to “re-education camps” following the 2024 election. Collins made the statements during a Zoom townhall event in which she also acknowledged the need for widespread civics education for both red and blue voters. However, her comments have sparked controversy among the Republican Party and raised concerns over authoritarian tendencies within the Democratic Party.

Senior advisor to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Alex DeGrasse, condemned Collins’ remarks as reflective of radical socialism and indicative of the oppression of political opposition. He said, “This radical New York City Democrat Socialist who literally is renting a bed and breakfast room in NY-21 was caught on tape saying she wants to force Trump voters through ‘re-education camps.’ Everyone knows she will be defeated by Elise Stefanik by a historic margin.”

Collins attempted to clarify her comments, stating that widespread civics education was necessary, and that the term “re-education camps” was perhaps not the best way to phrase it. Her remarks, however, underscore the troubling trend of how Democrats view people who disagree with them politically.

Recent polling shows imprisoning Trump is a mainstream position in the Democratic Party, with a CBS News poll finding that 75% of Democrats believe Trump should be in prison, while a Reuters-Ipsos poll shows that 81% of Democrats felt the same way. This raises questions about whether a party willing to imprison Trump for a non-crime would also be willing to send millions of MAGA supporters to “re-education” camps?
Collin’s comments suggest a willingness to use oppressive measures to silence those who oppose their political beliefs. Such rhetoric undermines political discourse and threatens the foundations of democracy and liberty.

Attempts to downplay the term “re-education camps” reflect a disturbing trend toward using authoritarian tactics reminiscent of oppressive regimes. In a free society, individuals should be allowed to express their political views without fear of persecution or imprisonment.
The use of such oppressive measures raises concerns for the future of American politics and the power dynamics at play within the Democratic Party. It is essential that both Republicans and Democrats uphold the principles of democracy and work towards progress, fostering unity and political diversity.

It’s what the Dems mean by “our democracy”.
Hey Tyrant, I presume you’ll be leading the delegation that shows up at my property to take me to the camps? LOL. Pussy.
ME FIRST!
Paula Collins, you will be the one “re-educated.”
Which one in the picture is Collins?
Inside every progressive is a totalitarian fighting to get out.
Another fascist ANTI-DEMOCRATIC PARTY leftist filth has said out loud what real Americans already know about the monsters.
Democrats couldn’t be more anti-American. They worship totalitarian state power and want a government boot on every neck, obviously.
carville also said the media reporting shouldn’t be neutral but should be completely slanted – aka propaganda – in support and service of democrat/aka marxist policies and attack ‘the dangerous-to-our-country” opposition’, and that trump and trump supporters are ‘a clear-and-present’ danger to the constitution and to freedom. He also threw alito in by reference to the need to conquer and control the supreme court in subjugation to the one-party authoritarian democrat/marxist control final step.
Scratch a Demon-rat and you’ll find the Gulags and Re-education camps under the skin.
Tyrants never lead the charge against Patriots. They give the orders to their lessers, and send them to their deaths. That is what Collins would be doing to anyone seeking to round up Patriots.

I think we are heading in the correct direction under uncle Joe, I’m voting for Biden, 4 more years and he will complete the total destruction of the beast system! And we can start all over.
This is a definite sign that he Democrat Communists are infected with the Hitler syndrome.
Her party should try that… I might be the first free citizen in my country to be taken,,,, I will NOT be the second. Good luck tyrants.
By all means, start the Civil War II before the election. check
Well please just try it. I will volunteer to go freely and I will demonstrate how strong we really are and break your reeducation officials into little piles of crying whimpering trembling human garbage and I will break the brainwashing of any decent candidates of possible reform to a logical and moral sense of values.I will never bend,kneel,beg or comply.
How will you “ break the brainwashing ? “ that’s just cocky delusion. You have to want to take the red pill and you have to want the truth. What demon- crat wants the truth? Since they’re all intellectually dishonest brainwashed cuks! I admire your spirit, but, your spirit is delusional. I’m with you on sentiment, but, the demon- crats are more honest about how they want to reeducate you than the scum of the earth republicans who pretend they’re honest and sincere to your face and then vote with the demon’s to secretly put you in the reeducation camps the democrats campaigned on and have the balls to follow through with! Only the Christ can save us. In my humble opinion.
I truly love your cockyness, you have a very brave spirit. But it’s based on emotion, not in reality. Do not offend by the ugly truth.
She’s right. We can put all democrats in a camp and play all of Trump’s speeches 24/7 so they can then understand why Americans loves MAGA.
🤣😂
