If you listen carefully, the Democrats will tell you exactly what they are up to. When Barack Obama, for example, said he planned to fundamentally transform America, he was telling the honest truth, and he wanted to get as much of it done as he could during his presidency. In the grand scheme of things, he was the set-up man, and Hillary Clinton was the closer. The Democrats were convinced that Hillary Clinton would win, and they’d cheat to achieve it if they had to, and she would finish the transformation of America that Obama had launched. The key, however, was not only to perform the transformation, but to make sure that the Democrats gained full power and held on to that power indefinitely. All of that work to gain power is all for naught if the opposition can take it from you in the next election.
In the Democracy that they have created in America (remember, we were originally established as a republic – a very different type of system than a democracy), the vote means everything. The Democrats have resorted to identity politics to establish and define the components of their base, and then they have worked very hard to convince their identity blocks of voters that they care about that particular group, that they are working very hard to give gifts from the treasury or legislative chest to that particular group, and that the opposition is racist and only cares about rich, white, heterosexual, male deplorable supremacists.
The problem is, the “minority groups” they have targeted are not providing enough votes consistently, especially with the last remnants of the republic still in place (like the Electoral College), so they need to spread the members of their voting base into enemy territory with community development laws that encourages demographic movement, and they need to add more voters – as many as they can muster – in order to swing the pendulum of the democracy in their favor. And, along with all of that, they have also regularly employed tactics during the election seasons that essentially enables them to press their fingers down on the scale every chance they can get.
Voter fraud has been a valuable tool, but in the face of someone like Donald J. Trump, it can only go so far. The black vote has worked well for them in many elections, and Biden reminded those voters that “if you don’t vote Democrat, you ain’t black,” but the black population hasn’t been growing in terms of percentage of the population, perhaps because they’ve also been encouraged to abort their babies and dismantle their family units (the latter for a few more government dollars through various programs), so the Democrats have realized that they need a voting block larger than the black vote to push the Democrats over the hump and into the zone of single-party rule.
The problem is, they’ve angered all of the groups not in their camp, and they’ve been losing many women and homosexuals (despite their efforts to keep them) to the other side in protest of pet beliefs like parental rights, gun ownership, and chopping children up below the waist in the name of affirmation. The loss of those voters came as a surprise to the Democrats. They figured, in their arrogance, that all members of their special identified protected groups would vote Democrat no matter what since they had convinced the general public that the GOP is racist to its core and all Republicans hate gays, believe women have less rights, and want to take us back to the days of slaves and women wearing dresses up to their necks, and down to their ankles and wrists. But, for some reason, some of those people become “red pilled,” and fly the coop.
The Democrats have increased their use of the race card, doubled-down on the false idea that the Democrats are for the poor and the Republicans are for the rich even though the results of their policies say otherwise, and they have intensified their efforts to convince everyone that they are the “party of democracy.” They’ve even got most of their opposition calling our republic a “democracy.” Immigrants, legal and illegal, have heard the call, and believe that it is America’s “democracy” that has made the country so prosperous. Therefore, when they arrive, it makes sense that the party of democracy, and the party that gives them gifts from various government programs, would be the party to vote for. So, armed with this knowledge, the Democrats have encouraged migration, any kind of migration from any place, into the minds of the people of the world. It almost sounds like a circus ringmaster. “Come one, come all, to the greatest giveaway on Earth.”
As a result, partially due to their fertility rate, and partially due to the fact that they are crossing the southern border in droves, Hispanics have become the fastest growing voting block, and the Democrats are poised to do everything they can to make sure that particular group adores the Democratic Party, hates the Republicans, and votes whether it’s legal for them to, or not.
The problem, however, has been that in the minds of the Democrats time is running out. The cogs of their machine to fundamentally transform America are spinning, but the machine has not moved forward because delays have messed things up thanks to people like Donald J. Trump throwing monkey wrenches into the works. The progressive collective left have been working for over a century on their project to destroy America’s constitutional founding and to remake America into the image of the visions of people like Karl Marx and Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, and their patience of late have been wearing thin. With Obama and Hillary they were so close that they could taste it, but Trump interrupted the process and they are antsy to be able to get back on track and finish their latest sixteen year plan. They believe the new infusion of Hispanic voters will get them where they want, but they need it to happen soon. They can’t wait any longer. They can’t afford another set-back like what they experienced with Trump’s election as President of the United States in 2016.
The need for more voters quickly is where illegal aliens fit in. The undocumented immigrants knew that it was the Democrats who encouraged them to cross the border, and who were promising all kinds of government programs to make sure they could survive in America. As far as the Democrats were concerned, once those people begin to vote they will vote Democrat. But, they need them to vote NOW, and they need many more illegal aliens in the United States so that they can be ready to vote as soon as possible. However, the incoming flow was not large enough. More voters is needed. The clock is ticking. They need more, and not enough of them have been crossing the border. So, especially during recent years, various schemes have kicked into high gear; motor voter laws, killing voter ID laws, and opening the border as wide as possible so as to pour as many undocumented democrats into the country as fast as possible.
The Democrats, however, always fail to comprehend that what accompanies their actions are consequences. Everything has consequences, despite their efforts to eliminate them. In the case of a wide open border, a criminal element and invaders from countries that hate America have been crossing into the United States. For the Democrats that was a more than acceptable consequence since they also want chaos and lawlessness. When violence, lawlessness, and destruction sets in people cry out for government to save them. But, the problem with the criminal element and the invaders is that it disrupts peace and safety just enough that people take notice. The Democrats brushed the problem off their shoulder like a buzzing pest, and continued to push forward. What did they care if a few people noticed the damage being done by so many unvetted criminal invaders coming into the country? The Republicans, as they were approaching the coronation of Hillary Clinton, had nobody capable of dethroning them, so the plan marched on.
Donald J. Trump burst on the scene largely because of the immigration issue. Despite all of their efforts to stop him, he pulled off the win in 2016. It was confusing to the Democrats. They had manipulated all of the polls and had them leaning towards Hillary Clinton, their forces in full swing at the voting booths were making sure they pulled off more Democratic votes than usual, and they pumped more money than ever before into the presidential campaign; yet, Hillary lost. They were shocked and stunned. The public, and even the press, began asking questions – How could the polls have been so wrong? How could the inevitable election of Hillary Clinton be thwarted by a loud-mouthed businessman with no political experience and no political army behind him?
It must’ve been the Russians, they claimed. There was no way he could have legitimately beaten Hillary, the Democrats argued, so Russian interference in the election was the only possible answer.
Their claim was proven to be a bunch of hooey, but by the time 2020 came along they had their forces in the press, entertainment, academia, and everywhere else they could muster in full swing. Trump was so popular that he garnered more votes than any presidential candidate in history (and probably more than we were told, to be honest), but the machine was ready for it this time and in 2020 they were ready to make sure their plan was back on track. Irregularities and anomalies haunted the 2020 Election, and many of them were pointed out by legitimate sources. The Democrats, however, handled it perfectly. They argued it was a safe and secure election, and any argument to the contrary was either conspiracy theory, or treasonous. Then, when Trump’s MAGA followers decided they would protest at the Capitol on January 6, the Democrats saw it coming, and staged a violent clash. Despite the fact that the “insurrection” mostly occurred before the first MAGA supporters from Trump’s speech across the way even arrived, anyone and everyone who set foot on the grounds around the Capitol were targeted, and slapped with the accusation of being an insurrectionist. It was all a production, and the Democrats provided Oscar-worthy performances. They got what they wanted. Their opposition was finally being branded as unhinged, dangerous, violent, and treasonous; and without anymore opposition standing in their way for the moment Joseph Biden was inaugurated as President of the United States on January 20, 2021 whether he actually won, or not.
The Republicans grabbed a majority in the House of Representatives, however, making it impossible for the Democrats to unleash their plan to its fullest extent; they surely noted it to themselves, and added to their plans for 2024 to address the down-ballot as well.
Now, the next election looms on the horizon, and the Democrats are ready to make sure that their plan never gets derailed again. They’ve done everything they can; they have pursued and jailed everyone they can get their hands on regarding January 6, pumping fear into the opposition. They have also targeted Trump and anyone associated with him. The lawfare, while it did not land Trump and many of his minions in jail, worked well enough to enable them to hammer the “he’s a felon” mantra over and over again. They believe Trump and his MAGA movement has been defanged. But, his followers are still willing to vote for him, despite all of the efforts to convince them otherwise.
And the immigration issue has turned against the Democrats in a big way.
The Democrats have realized that their open-border policies are not popular with the people, and the criminal element crossing the border has caused serious damage to their image as the party of the immigrant. People want the border secure, and they want the people coming into the country vetted, even if those people are asylum seekers as the Democrats claim. So, the Democrats in 2024 have realized they have to make a few changes.
In Kamala Harris’s speech in Douglas, Arizona on September 27, 2024, while she was in the area for her photo opportunity at the border to make it look like she cares about the immigration issue, she laid out exactly what is going on and what she is really doing (remember, the Democrats lay out what they are up to if you just listen). They had already been attacking the Republicans for following Trump’s advice and standing against the “bi-partisan border bill” that the Democrats claim was exactly what is needed to secure the border. Kamala reminded everyone of that talking point, accusing Donald Trump of getting on the phone and convincing the Republicans to shoot it down because, “he wants to run on a problem rather than solve it.”
Kamala and the Democrats know that immigration is an issue that they are losing on. Donald J. Trump launched into political prominence way back in 2015 when he exclaimed stepping off an escalator, “I want to build a great big beautiful wall.” Most Americans, regardless of political affiliation, believes that we should have immigration laws in place, follow those laws, and that we should not throw the border wide open and let anyone cross into the country – especially criminal aliens. The average person believes we are a country of immigrants, and that immigration is a good thing, but unchecked illegal immigration poses a danger to the security of the United States.
The truth is we have no access to the criminal records in other countries, so the only way we can hope to prevent the entry into the United States by criminal aliens is to secure our borders and strictly enforce the laws on the books which contain protocols designed to vet the individuals coming into America across the border. The truth is there are enemies of the United States in the Middle East, China, and other parts of the world who are sending their agents into the United States across our open border, and the only way we can hope to prevent the invasion of enemy agents is to secure the borders and strictly enforce the laws on the books which contain protocols designed to vet the individuals coming into America across the border.
I believe most Americans realize those truths.
The Democrats realize that the tide has turned against them, and that people are beginning to demand a secure border and demand that the people coming into this country go through a process to make sure the people being let in are not dangerous to America’s general population. But, at the same time, the Democrats need the flow of “immigrants” to remain constant. They need to tip the balance so that they can use democracy to further establish their power and keep someone like Trump from ever upsetting the apple cart ever again. The “bi-partisan border bill” is that vehicle. It is designed to expand the immigration court system so as to move through the system asylum-seekers more quickly. In other words, create the illusion that they care about the border, and even set up a system that looks like they are vetting the people crossing the border, but do it with their judges in courts set up by them and let everyone in anyway in the name of asylum. That way, they get their proverbial cake and can eat it too. Keep the flow of people who will vote Democrat coming into the country, but with the illusion of border security and vetting the people coming in attached.
