Ain’t nothin’ but a Democratic Socialist party in Georgia over the weekend.
A large gathering of these confused individuals assembled to do what seems to be just a bunch of complaining about getting triggered.
According to Fox News, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) National Convention in Georgia this weekend came to a screeching halt when one delegate formally complained of “sensory overload” from “guys” whispering in the room — prompting another “comrade” to grab the microphone to angrily demand an immediate end to the use of “gendered language.”
The back-to-back moments of impassioned hypersensitivity at the gathering of the largest socialist organization in the United States led to bipartisan mockery from commentators, who compared the scene to something out of the sitcom “The Office” or the sketch comedy group Monty Python.
“Uh, quick point of personal privilege, um guys,” began one delegate, who identified himself as James Jackson from Sacramento, and specified that he uses the “he/him” personal pronouns.
As soon as Jackson said the word “guys,” an individual in the audience could be seen becoming visibly irate in a livestream video of the convention posted online.

“I just want to say, can we please keep the chatter to the minimum? I’m one of the people who’s very, very prone to sensory overload,” Jackson said. Several other delegates could be seen waving “Jazz hands” in the air, instead of applauding, as he spoke. (Jazz hands are considered less “triggering” to those sensitive to loud sounds.)…I’m not even kidding. It’s that ridiculous. Go back and check for yourself.
But that’s not all folks. This guy continues some more nonsensical complaining about the chatter and everything that triggers him. He once again voices his concerns saying, “I have ALREADY asked people to be mindful of the chatter of their comrades who are sensitive to sensory overload. And that goes DOUBLE for the heckling and the hissing. It is also triggering to my anxiety. Like, being comradely isn’t just for like, keeping things civil or whatever. It’s so people aren’t going to get triggered, and so that it doesn’t affect their performance as a delegate.”
Democratic Socialists of America convention rules:
🔴 No “aggressive scents” in the quiet room
🔴 No misuse of doors
🔴 No interacting with cops
🔴 No talking to the pressI’m sorry, I thought this was America.
