Every politician has two faces: the polished one they show the cameras, and the real one they hide. It’s all part of the game. They speak in sanitized soundbites, offer practiced smiles, and promise they are just like you. But every so often, the façade cracks, and we get a glimpse of what they truly believe.

We’ve known for years that a radical worldview is simmering just beneath the surface of the modern Left. It’s an ideology that scoffs at America’s foundational values, especially the family. Usually, they conceal it behind empty slogans about “progress.” But for one Democratic candidate in Tennessee, the mask didn’t just slip—it came off completely.

From ‘The Daily Wire’:

“My therapist always asks me to transcribe my dreams when they happen, and the recurring dream I’ve had is standing up in a cafeteria full of women – I don’t know why I was there or whatever – and saying, ‘I don’t want children. I want power!’ And just screaming it at the top of my lungs.”

“For someone who grew up with my mother telling me, never have kids because you will, you know, you’ll have to give up a lot. You’ll have to sacrifice professionally,” she continued.

That wasn’t just a late-night pizza dream. It was a crystal-clear mission statement, beamed directly from the progressive hive mind. The candidate, Aftyn Behn, revealed the Left’s ultimate choice: not between career and family, but between self-sacrifice and sheer control.

The Anti-Family Agenda on Full Display

Behn’s startling admission is the core tenet of a feminist ideology that sees motherhood as a form of imprisonment. She has openly condemned women who choose marriage and family, dismissing their lives as the product of “deeply patriarchal structures.”

This is the Left’s modern gospel, and frankly, it’s a bleak and joyless way to see the world. In their view, the family isn’t the bedrock of civilization, but a cage. Children are not a profound blessing, but a professional handicap. The sacred duty of raising the next generation is twisted into a concession to male power. For them, the only respectable path is the one leading to a corner office or a seat in Congress, even if that path is ultimately a barren one.

A Pattern of Radicalism and Instability

This disturbing worldview isn’t just theoretical. It manifests in a history of erratic and unstable public behavior that screams “unfit for office.” In 2019, after being booted from a legislative session for a disruptive outburst, Behn stormed the governor’s office.

Video captured her screaming and sobbing uncontrollably as state troopers were forced to physically drag her from the premises. This is what a temper tantrum looks like when you replace a sandbox with the state capitol. Hardly a picture of stable leadership, is it? It’s a chilling preview of how those who crave power above all else react when their demands are denied.

Contempt for the People She Claims to Represent

Perhaps most revealing is Behn’s open disdain for the very culture she wants to represent. She was caught on audio delivering a laundry list of grievances against normal American life in her own district.

“I hate the city, I hate the bachelorettes, I hate the pedal taverns, I hate country music, I hate all of the things that make Nashville apparently an ‘it’ city,” she complained. It’s the height of arrogance. She wants votes from the very people she openly mocks. This is the elitist progressive mindset laid bare: a deep-seated conviction that they know better than the everyday citizens they seek to govern.

When the mask finally comes off, we must pay attention. Aftyn Behn has done voters a tremendous service by showing them exactly who she is. She is the unfiltered, unapologetic face of a Democratic Party that is increasingly hostile to family, contemptuous of tradition, and animated by a desperate hunger for power. Her dream is a warning to us all. It’s a nightmare she wants to make a reality for the rest of us.
