Democrats throwing black voters under bus for new progressive agenda

Sorry, black voters.

You’re being changed.

The Democrats simply aren’t that into you anymore.

They’ve received a brand new constituency they like higher, and also you’re being thrown below the bus.

Blacks in Chicago will not be completely satisfied about it.

“We don’t care.” “We don’t need them right here.” “Ship them again.”

These have been a few of the reactions of black residents from Chicago’s South Facet — which went 97% for Biden — to the importation of a whole bunch of unlawful immigrants from Mexico and Central America.

The Chicago Solar-Instances was horrified, accusing them of “sounding very like an unpleasant ‘America First’ rally for Donald Trump.

One man even held an indication that learn ‘Construct the wall 2024.’ That picture alone is definite to place a smug smile on the faces of many MAGA varieties.”

One activist, Natasha Dunn, was unfazed: “It’s a slap within the face that we as residents of the USA of America should not have the assets and help however you’re gonna convey people who find themselves not residents right here in our group in our buildings that we pay taxes for that you simply took away from us?”

Public housing, already briefly provide, is being diverted from black residents to unlawful immigrants.

Is it actually shocking Chicago’s blacks are sad?

However, you already know, once you’re a pushover, you get taken as a right.

And when your group goes 97% for the Democrats, you’re a pushover.

Now that they have you ever nailed down, they’re busy importing a brand new batch of future voters, and if that makes your life worse, nicely, powerful.

In the event that they’re not afraid of you, you get nothing.

That’s the Chicago Means.

And the Democratic Celebration Means.

For mainly my complete lifetime, Democrats have courted the black vote and promoted black points.

However in the previous few years, that’s modified.

The Democratic Celebration is now run by well-off, principally white, woke individuals whose pursuits diverge fairly sharply from these of the celebration’s erstwhile black constituents.

Black voters need jobs.

Democrats wish to import illegal-immigrant competitors that may drive wages down and make these jobs tougher to get.

Blacks need protected streets.

Woke ideologues (who typically reside someplace else) push de-policing initiatives that enhance city crime and dysfunction whereas killing off companies that present employment, one thing that’s occurring in Chicago, New York, San Francisco and elsewhere.

These insurance policies are much less well-liked with the individuals who really need to reside with the ensuing crime and concrete decay than with those that promote them.

Woke white ideologues additionally champion “inexperienced” insurance policies that hike gasoline, utility and meals costs.

They don’t see these penalties as issues however as options as a result of they need individuals to eat much less and use much less vitality.

However these rising prices are a brutal burden on individuals barely getting by as it’s.

(The opposite large “woke” concern, trans rights, isn’t particularly well-liked with black voters both and never very related to their every day lives.)

And naturally, even on the high ranges of nationwide politics, black voters might be forgiven for considering the Democratic Celebration is sort of, nicely, racist.

Simply have a look at the disproportionate consideration paid to trumped-up “ethics” costs towards black Supreme Court docket Justice Clarence Thomas.

When rich white lady Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg traveled at donor expense greater than every other justice and her husband Marty Ginsburg’s legislation agency represented shoppers earlier than the Supreme Court docket, there was no nationwide outcry.

However when Thomas vacationed with a rich buddy who’s had no enterprise earlier than the courtroom, out of the blue it turned a giant deal.

Why are the Democrats and the media — however I repeat myself — making use of completely different requirements to a black man and a white lady?

You might nicely ask.

And possibly black voters ought to begin asking too.

At John Kass’ web site, Steve Huntley writes: “An thought for a ballot: Survey black Individuals to see in the event that they assume racism is any manner behind the three-decade-long, unending criticism of Supreme Court docket Justice Clarence Thomas.”

They don’t wish to know the reply.

(Final yr, an open letter signed by scores of eminent black intellectuals denounced the left’s racist assaults on Thomas.)

The reality is the Democratic Celebration is now not the celebration of the working class and the poor.

It’s the celebration of well-off woke white individuals and the billionaires who fund their nonprofits and management their company employers.

The GOP is now the multiracial celebration representing the pursuits of working-class Individuals of all extractions.

The Democrats’ nightmare is that black voters will determine that out earlier than 2024.
