Dems Want To Protect Their Fraud With Riots

Leftist agitators and the corporate media wasted no time capitalizing on the death of a woman who was fatally shot by an ICE officer after she appeared to ram an agent who was positioned in front of her vehicle.

While those with common sense rightly point out that the shooting was justified by the circumstances and backed up by legal precedent, the left quickly capitalized on the woman’s death by further demonizing federal law enforcement and repeating their tired accusation that the Trump administration is little more than a fascist tyranny.

The shooting on Wednesday and the Somali fraud scandal that at least partially caused the ICE crackdown in Minneapolis call attention to the fact that the left will fanatically defend those whose crimes they themselves have facilitated.

Rather than try to deescalate the situation or provide support for federal law enforcement, Minnesota Democrats moved swiftly to hamstring ICE operations further. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said, “The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately.”

At a press conference, Gov. Tim Walz threatened to mobilize the Minnesota National Guard to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents” — an act of blatant insurrection. Walz also promised that “The state will ensure there is a full, fair, and expeditious investigation to ensure accountability and justice.” Additionally, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called the shooting “state violence.”

But, in truth, “rogue ICE agents” can’t be blamed for the chaos unfolding in Minnesota. That chaos has been carefully planned and cultivated for years now. The Democrats created the conditions that led to the widespread scamming of the public welfare system, most prominently by Somalian immigrants, and have also fostered the conditions in which a leftist agitator was fatally shot.

Over the last few decades, Democrats created a patronage system that’s designed to gradually dismantle the country. They initiated the mass importation of Third Worlders, created programs to support them that provided lucrative jobs and contracts to their allies, fostered an environment in which those programs are ripe for abuse by the people they are supposed to help, ran cover for the inevitable wave of fraud, and then tried to redirect public anger once the fraud was discovered toward those who noticed and attempted to stop it by calling them racist. In exchange, Democrats got votes and the mandate to create even more programs and NGOs for exploitation.

It’s a very similar situation with the left-wing radicals who inevitably show up to impede attempts to uphold the law. Democrats created the conditions that caused a federal law enforcement response, in this case Minneapolis’ total disregard for federal immigration law and their complacency in rooting out fraud. They then employed the same violent rhetoric they’ve used for years to target conservatives and attract deranged radicals. They laid the groundwork for a violent incident, and once it happened, they fanned the flames even further. As a result, agitators have already confronted more agents.

Democrats’ rhetoric radicalized and organized radicals like the woman who was killed on Wednesday. In their continued efforts to demonize ICE agents in the wake of the shooting, Democrats are setting agents, as well as the protesters they claim to care about, up for further conflict that could easily turn violent. As we’ve seen with other protests against ICE that have descended into riots over the past year, they tend to be highly organized and premeditated. Leftist-backed NGOs and Antifa terror cells organize them on a national scale to assault any attempt by Republicans to curtail lawlessness, while Democrat politicians look the other way.

Democrats regularly condemn law enforcement as a concept, but then in almost the same instant, they practically fall on their knees to call for the swift hand of justice to deliver great vengeance and furious anger upon their enemies. Just look at the unprecedented witch hunt that took place after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

But they only hold this level of contempt for the everyday, hardworking citizenry of this country and the law enforcement officials who are trying to enact the mandate they gave President Trump by electing him in 2024.

As for illegal aliens, scammers, drug dealers, and left-wing terrorists who burn down cities? Prior to federal intervention, what justice was forthcoming from state authorities for the taxpayers who had been defrauded to the tune of billions of dollars? What of the animals who rob, rape, and murder innocent American citizens, despite prior criminal records, convictions, and/or deportation orders? Indifference — as if the urban horrors that flash across TV screens and social media day after day are inconsequential, a mere inconvenience on the road to a true leftist utopia.

Democrats defend no one, except perhaps themselves, as fervently as they do the people whose crimes they’ve helped facilitate. The Somali scammers aren’t alien parasites defrauding the country that took them in, they’re victims of racism, according to the Democrats’ propaganda machine. The leftist terrorists destroying property and violently attacking ICE agents aren’t anarchic barbarians, they’re freedom fighters resisting a fascist regime.

They certainly pretended to care about law and order this past Jan. 6, when they gathered in vigil to remember the fifth anniversary of that debunked “insurrection” with a near-religious ecstasy. And they pretend to care when their patronage system is under threat. In short, Democrats’ current M.O. is favor the criminals; punish the law abiders and the law enforcers.

The system created by the Democrats has resulted in the perverse incentive to sow chaos in order to reap the political benefits. And now replicate that system dozens if not hundreds of times across every facet of the federal government and blue state governments. Radical leftist foot soldiers, the state and federal bureaucracy, the professional NGO activists, and Democrat politicians all work in concert to leech taxpayer dollars toward their clients and their causes. They work tirelessly to slowly but surely weaken America in the name of power and greed. The anarchy that they unleash on American cities during this process is a feature, not a bug.

Completely dismantling the system is the only way to stop it. Ending mass immigration, restricting entitlements, culling government bureaucracy, and throttling NGOs must all take place to put an end to this vicious cycle that threatens to tear our country apart and render the phrase “law and order” truly meaningless.
