Yes we could regard this as a great Democrat plan to turn red states blue, but it seems this would backfire, since states are awarded congressional districts after each census based upon the total population, including non-citizen population (see my "Republicans Could Be Winning Biden’s Immigration Game" at https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/republicans-could-be-winning-bidens). More likely, the Democrats have become the party of Big Business, including Big Agriculture, and they're simply giving their corporate buddies what they need, namely a non-unionized workforce with no worker protections, to replace their unionized American workforce. It amazes me that the unions haven't figured it out yet: Who Is Really Behind our Illegal Immigration?" https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/who-is-really-behind-our-illegal

Dave, why is it that unions can’t get behind Making America Great Again?? MAGA is a people’s kind of movement that is about small government standing up for people instead of the ruling class. Unions are like Hilary Clinton riding her husband’s dirty coattail. What’s with that? Unions used to be as American as Apple Pie. They sold their souls for money.

Democrats are the ultimate opportunists; they change causes and allegiances in whatever direction suits their political purpose at the moment. If needed, they will do a total about-face, as they did in the mid-20th century when they ditched their southern Confederate core constituency to join with the unionists, socialists, communists, and Blacks, who together ultimately gave them a coalition of many more voters than their old Confederates constituted. Today, seven-or-so decades later, the winds have changed. While still wearing the mantle of the Party-of-the-Working-Joe, Democrats have allied with corporate America (really corporate Global) in a way that Republicans could only formerly have imagined. From 1990 till now, both parties gutted working-class America by sending all their manufacturing jobs overseas. All that remains of this trend today is to displace the still-present low-skilled U.S. workers, mostly in service work, whose jobs cannot be exported. Cue the Democrats, importing millions of the world's impoverished souls, to take all of America's remaining low-skilled jobs. It is only now gradually dawning on the unions that the Democrats (like the pigs at the end of Animal Farm) are now totally in bed with their enemies. To understand more about the Democrats' coalition-forming skills, read my article: There’s nothing crazy about the Democrats’ agenda: Every Democrat policy is designed to build the party’s voting coalition: https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/theres-nothing-crazy-about-the-democrats

It sounds plausible what you describe, but union membership has declined. The one thing that Dems are good at is planning. Totalitarianism works relentlessly and infiltrating is a favorite tool of theirs. Progressives running the Dems have gotten us to this point. They will destroy unions with Wokism. The Teamsters are so scared they won’t get behind either candidate! Fascism is at play here which is even more dangerous than communism. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/23/385843576/50-years-of-shrinking-union-membership-in-one-map

What Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have done to these towns is disgusting and unacceptable. They've ruined American people lives just to gain votes. Trump has to win to change the narrative. Great article, Diane.

The NGO officials raking in millions of our tax dollars ferrying and housing Kamala's illegal aliens around our country are perfidious scum suckers.

I hate that the NGOs you are talking about, include churches and many nonprofits that quietly support open borders policies as a “missionary” effort. They don’t see it as dangerous. The salt is losing its savor.

Maybe the media should hang out in Ohio for a couple weeks. Perhaps THEN they’d either tell the truth, or shut to fuck up.

Fox has sent reporters there, and Vivek Ramaswamy held a town hall on Thursday.

The MSM are whores who are totally in bed with the Democrats; if you could look under the sheets without throwing up, you wouldn't be able to tell one from the other. The media know exactly what is going on, and in fact they are facilitating it.
