It’s Always been About Supporting Socialism

Back in ’75, at the end of the Vietnam war, then POTUS Gerald Ford approved the Indochina Migration and Refugee Assistance Act,. The act provided for 130,000 refugees from Vietnam and Cambodia.The act had it’s supporters, but California Democrats were not among them.  Their resistance, it was suggested was based on resources, or more correctly, the lack of them.

Funny thing…. Nowdays we see Californians welcoming “refugees’ with open arms.  Why the difference?

Simple…. Back in 75, the people in question had been trying to escape socialism, and were certainly unlikely to vote for candidates who by this point were openly espousing socialism.  Whereas today, the people flooding our borders (until recently) are far more likely to support the left. One group advantaged the socialist agenda, and one did not.

• The folks who cheered jailing grandma for refusing to wear a mask now cry ‘authoritarianism’ when Trump wants to lock up actual criminals.
• Scholars now believe that Samson slew 1000 Philistines, not with the jawbone of an ass, but with a Footlong BMT on Italian.
• Seven out of ten of the wealthiest counties in the country surround Washington, DC. It’s not because there are a large number of inventors and entrepreneurs in those areas. Rather, it’s people who have learned to play government. By extension, if government workers, including Congress, were honest citizens, their net worth wouldn’t be many times their annual salaies.
• If Donald Trump issued a statement saying oxygen is good for you, we’d have leftists all over the country holding their breath.
• By the same token… the Democrats claiming Trump’s economy is bad, are ignoring a 2.7% inflation, a 3% GDP, a roaring stock market that has gained 13.5 Trillion USD in four months, and $150BUSD income from the tariffs they claimed would never work.

Just a few things I’ve been thinking about

• Remember: They’re not worried that Trump will fail to bring peace to Ukraine. They’re worried he’ll succeed. (And by the way, the reports I’m seeing from Alaska seem promising, except for one small issue.

• Gov. Gruesome seems to be taking offense at ICE being at polling stations. But, why? I mean, if they’re not voting illegally, what’s his problem? Is he worried that this move will negate the illegal alien votes Biden brought in?
• If the last couple decades are of any indication, the Democrat party is the most treacherous enemy America has ever faced.
• Why is it we recognize a mother’s love but never a father’s sacrifice?
• Democrats didn’t fix the economy…. they lied about job numbers.
• Democrats didn’t decrease crime, they simply stopped arresting criminals.
• Democrats didn’t improve schools, they just lowered graduation standards.
• Democrats didn’t secure the border, they simply topped detaining and deporting illegals.

Ya know, perhaps…. just perhaps…. the Democrats wouldn’t have to worry about Trump if they hadn’t abandoned mainstream America. As a result of that abandonment, there is nothing short of a cultural shift going on in this country….

It’s as the Teamsters president said not so long ago…. the Democrats have forgotten who they supposedly represent. (It’s not easy to imagine an 18 wheel driver demanding that the taxpayers pay off his truck loan.) And you know it’s bad for the Democrats when you see the unions walking away from them.

It’s to the point where the Democrats champion the reverse of any issue that resonates with mainstream America. All they’ve got is victim-hood, and identity politics. They’re convinced and are trying to convince YOU, that for example, gender is just an opinion. They champion instead, non-binary, trans, race theory, oppression cults, parasites who demand YOU pay THEIR student loans.

And so you latch onto fake stories, like Russia,Russia,Russia, and every sex scandal that you can toss at the guy…. and suggest you are an idiot for not believing them. Doesn’t need fact, it just has to be repeated, loudly, on the MSM, which are in reality, the Democrat House organs…. You know… the ones that nobody watches anymore, and certainly doesn’t believe… (Have you seen MSNBC and CNN viewer data of late?)

They recognize that Trump and his supporters are a threat to Democrat power… And to keep the gravy flowing to themselves they’re willing to resort to lawfare and pending jail terms so obviously fake that even the blue collar folks that they so obviously despise can see it as such, and attempted assassination to achieve their socialist goals. of eliminating any and all competition to their agenda.

Indeed, it’s gotten so bad that the Democrat now engage in Identity politics, which go exactly the opposite of the desires of the working class they claim to support.
And you wonder how Trump manages to retain his support? It’s because he’s the only one listening to the majority.

According to several sources, the erstwhile Democrat state legislators are on their way back to their job. The lines will be redrawn. Of course they’re claiming victory while being swallowed by defeat, saying they “raised awareness” of the issue.

AUSTIN, Texas (KTRK) — ABC13 has confirmed with multiple sources that House Democrats will return to Texas.

Eyewitness News has not confirmed the date, but we do know that Democrats believe they’ve accomplished their mission by killing the first special session and by raising national awareness about the mid-decade redistricting effort.

This was only ever going to go one way…. The Democrats were always ever going to be brought back to reality… and the only way to save face was to claim it was all about “raising awareness”. Makes one mindful of, in the Lord of the Rings Movie Trilogy, where Gimli falls off his horse and claims “it was deliberate”.  One is also reminded of of Barry Sowetto repeatedly saying “Elections have consequences”.

The thing started falling apart though, when the media broke ranks and started pushing back on the massive hypocrisy displayed in their basic argument of …. ” You should pay no attention to Illinois and Massachusetts and California, with their gerrymandering into one party rule because it’s different when WE do it”.

I truly wonder if they understand the damage being done to their already crippled brand, with what they now claim was simply a PR stunt.

I’ve sat and watched as the Democrats keep leveling charges at Donald Trump vis’ a vie’ Epstein, while they say nothing about the clear evidence that’s been before them for years about certain Democrats. I’m damn sick of it.

In this case, let’s take a few pages from Ashley Biden’s diary…. which the FBI has confirmed to be genuine:

Ed Driscoll makes an important point:

David Susskind could be a warm jovial host; his 1970 segment titled “My Son the Success!” which featured Mel Brooks, David Steinberg, George Segal, and Dan Greenburg, the author of the then-recent book, How to Be a Jewish Mother, is one of the funniest segments of live television ever made. But Susskind’s cranky 1966 appearance on Firing Line with William F. Buckley is a reminder that Hollywood has hated half the country for many decades before Trump rode down the golden escalator and upended the left’s media-political monopoly.

I’ve been writing out that hate for over 30 years, now, and pointing out that hate was around even longer.The physical evidence of this is huge, both in it’s amounts and implications. Some graphics I’d captured from eleft wing sites of the times:

Dave Strom this morning:

The Party of Black Lives Matter, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and decolonization gives Mayor Pete Buttigieg, technocratic dweeb, the #1 slot in the race to become the 2028 nominee for president. Mayor Pete has a lot of fans in the Democratic Party, although I will explain to you why his #1 rating means a lot less than you might think in a moment. First, we should take note that Mayor Pete is not so popular with a key constituency that Democrats must win by an 80-20 margin to have a shot in the general election: black voters.

Which means, dear reader, that even assuming he gets the nomination, he cannot win. The rather dramatic shift away from the Democrats in the most recent election shows no sign of being reversed or even of slowing slightly. It was widely observed that the lack of black voter support was what saved us from a Harris presidency…(otherwise known as a fourth term of Barry Sowetto.)… so we can figure that we’re safe in the next cycle as well.

Back in 2022, David Harsanyi took to the pages of The Federalist to say, among other things:

If Republicans vote, they are killing democracy. If they don’t vote, they are killing democracy. The only way to “save democracy,” writes The Washington Post’s Max Boot, is to empower one-party rule — a position that probably sounds counterintuitive to anyone with a middle-school education.

At the time, I thought it a level of insanity beyond even the Democrats of the time. Max Boot was well deserving of a rubber room even back then… but I didn’t figure the insanity was so widespread.  I’ve got to learn to stop underestimating these people.  I see now they’re nuttier than a squirrel turd… every blessed one of them. 

So, this morning, along comes ool’ snakehead Carville: The Only Way to Save Democracy Is to Rig the System So Much that Republicans Always Lose. As David Strom writes this morning:
:

Nothing says “saving democracy” and “preserving norms” like totally rigging the system. 

It’s like calling sterilizing and mutilating children “care.” A complete inversion of reality wrapped up in comforting words.

Indeed so. I said pretty much the same yesterday:

Face it, the entirety of the Democrat party is rooted strongly in fantasy these days.
Allowing crime is compassion, men can be women, national borders are an option, Joe Biden’s dementia is regarded as being “sharp as a tack”, (At least when you can get them to not take the fifth…) Guatemalan gang members who abuse their wives are called “Maryland dads”.. after it was absolutely clear that your candidate for reelection had the brain capacity of a door knob, you stuffed a candidate into place that had absolutely no primary votes whatsoever and yet Democrats regarded this as “saving democracy”.

This stuff has been going in that direction for at least three generations. It’s taken that long for a critical mass of the voting public to catch on to the idea that the Democrat party is being run by people who are acting in a manner that is at least highly questionable and only explainable in one of two fashions…. neither of which is acceptable for someone with the power of government in their hands.

There are but two possibilities for their behavior… Either they’re flat out crazy, or they are not telling us the truth about the motives for their behavior.  Calling them flat out crazy seems to me too easy, too neat. It is more logical to conclude their goals are other than the stated. That rather than “saving democracy” what they’re really about is “saving Democrat party power.

The whole internationalist liberal elite gave up on the need to win at the ballot box sometime after the Euromaidan Revolution of 2014. Since then, it’s been intelligence community tricks, street shenanigans, and judicial interference all the way down. It’s all they do now.
-Yoram Hazony

I will concede the point to Yoram, with the proviso that it’s been going on far longer. It’s time to tell the left that their crazy is showing.

Parting shot: It is a measure of how bad things have gotten when Tom Fetterman is the sane one.  and the Democrats are crapping all over him for it.

Just a few things I’ve noted in the last 24 hours…

• The leftist press is noting a new poll out suggesting pride in America is down overall. One problem, though…. The overall reading is in fact down but it’s because Democrats are shifting negative… Republicans, meanwhile are at 92% positive.  Can’t imagine why the MSM hasn’t mentioned that part. Weird, huh?
  
• Tulsi Gabbard has had a bit of a mutiny on her hands over her decision to release the “Russiagate” files.  She’s got it mostly under control… (explains the firings we’ve been hearing about) …but let’s get out in front of the story…. Tulsi Gabbard didn’t kill herself.
• Meanwhile, Trump has fired Brian Driscoll from his position at the FBI, for refusing to cooperate in the release of names associated with the FBI’s J6 operations. Again, the DOJ is problematic.
• Unconfirmed as yet, but I’m hearing that Robert Mueller is in a healthcare facility suffering from memory loss. Well, that’s convenient, huh?  I suppose that for the moment we have all the emails, letters and notes….until they get “oopsed” out of existance, of course.
• Oppression isn’t being white. Oppression is living in government housing and calling the rest of us oppressors, while they are forced to pay YOUR bills., including the student loan that paid for your useless degree.

I’ve pointed out for years that the Nazi movement is a left wing movement. <ost recently, I’ve pointed out in these spaces where the Democrats have been using what can only be called Nazi tactics against their opponents.
So, dear reader,+ you may imagine my lack of shock and amaze, when Mark Hemingway shows up on X this morning with current day proof of this…

BBCT to Ed Driscoll, who goes quite a bit deeper at Instapundit, including a stunning bit of BS from AOC herself on the matter.

• If people can be arrested as they were on January 6th for blocking government proceedings simply by walking into a building as they were, what can be said about these Democrats leaving their posts?
• So, Alex Soros has been caught funneling $24MUSD to the campaign of Mamdani’s NYC Mayor campaign. Why is this not a thing in the mainstream media? You KNOW why.
• I see several people pushing the idea of Deputizing General Flynn and letting HIM arrest Obama, Clapper, Comey, et al. Not a bad idea, really.
• The current smoke rising over the Epstien issues, are a diversion, folks.  Think about it…
  

I mean, are we really supposed to believe that the Democrats who sat on the Epstein files for the entirety of the Biden misadministration, have suddenly discovered anything a moral center? Does it strike nobody else as passing strange that the angst being shown us over this comes up just as the DOJ is ripping the lid off the 2016 coup and the subsequent cover-up? Make no mistake, folks.  This is the Democrats trying to cover up their own misdeeds…

If people can be arrested… as they were on January 6th for blocking government proceedings simply by walking into a building…  what can be said about these Democrats leaving their posts for the specific purpose of blocking governmental proceedings?

I mean, if we’re being fair about it, said Democrats would be in solitary confinement for the foreseeable future, as January 6th protestors were. But of course fairness… and rule of law, to say nothing of due process, is among the last thing on Democrat minds.

Personally, i find it amusing and quite telling that they fled to places that have been gerrymandered to death….. New York, Illinois, and Massachusetts…  From which I caught a report the other day that the governor there is vowing to gerrymander that state even more than it has been to avoid further losses in Congress. The amusing part about that is that Massachusetts has been so gerrymandered for so long by the Democrats in that state, that it has nobody from the GOP in their congressional delegation. Not one person.  So, rather like dividing by zero, how they’re going to tip the scales even further to the Democrats is beyond the understanding of mere mortals. New York, it appears is trying to do the same thing.

This has been going on for so very long that it’s nothing short of amazing the Democrats are complaining like it’s a new thing.

Matt Vespa points out that these efforts by Massachusetts are far from unique. In fact, as he says,

.

“The problem for Democrats is that there aren’t enough states to gerrymander. They’re tapped out, with deportations increasing, and blue states poised to lose electoral votes due to declining populations, the lifeblood of the Democratic Party is being drained, and they don’t know what to do. It’s what happens when you think demography is destiny. It’s not. The five new districts the GOP would supposedly claim with Texas’ new map are majority Hispanic.”

Obama has dived into this….(in truth, I suspect he’s been behind this move by the State level Democrats in Texas…) Decrying the practice of re-redistricting, despite his own rather shady involvement in the practice.
Look, we both know democrats have always opposed gerrymandering, but only in sates they don’t control.  (Big shock, huh?)
