Dems have promised blacks "reparations." How many white votes will they lose?
While you've been distracted by (take your choice) Ukraine, exploding national debt, the continuing invasion of our nation by third-worlders, China preparing to invade Taiwan, Democrat election fraud, you name it...a new Democrat mandate has quietly appeared: Reparations.
In their endless pandering to blacks to get votes, Democrat leaders are supporting the idea of paying huge amounts of cash to every black in the U.S, ostensibly due to slavery before 1863 or so.
The Dems have been doing this for years, and recently faaabulously popular Democrat "leaders," like Cali governor (and presidential hopeful) Gavin Newsom, have established "commissions" to actually recommend the amount of such payments.
It shouldn't surprise anyone with an IQ over 80 that the people testifying before these "commissions" have demanded payments as high as $5 million per black. One member of Newsom’s reparations commission described this as the state paying its “sin bill”--which is a great way to guilt white liberals (Democrats) into supporting the scheme. The fact that California was never a slave state is quietly ignored.
With that sort of support--again unsurprisingly--black Democrat congresswhores like Rep. Cori Bush have demanded that the federal gruberment pay a total of $14 TRILLION in reparations, declaring “Black people can't wait any longer.” She was joined by other Democrat members like Reps. Barbara Lee, Jamaal Bowman and Rashida Tlaib.
In Tampa one black man who appeared before the commission said he was putting “white people on notice that we want our reparations.” Ah, nice of him to put us on notice, eh?
For years Democrats have dangled the idea of "reparations" to win black votes. Dems repeatedly told blacks that such payments were a "moral obligation." Now, not surprisingly, blacks are demanding to be paid: Recent polls shows 77 percent of blacks support reparations–a stark increase in the last few years.
Wow, who could have predicted *that,* eh?
One activist claimed “We worked for free. It’s a debt that’s owed. We’re not asking; we’re telling you.”
Newsom and other Dems are now frantically calculating what dollar figure they can support without being voted out of office by whites. He's indicated that he supports some cash payment. It's just a question of how high a figure won't make too many whites refuse to vote Democrat again.
So Democrat pols are trying to devise language and terms to convince whites not to vote them out for supporting the idea.
A member of the commission said they wouldn't accept any excuses and that the state must commit to the full amount they demanded, but graciously added that if the state didn't want to pay the full amount all at once, they'd be willing to take it in annual installments.
Very gracious, eh?
To get an idea of how popular the idea of huge payments to blacks is with most Americans, consider a fairly similar situation: "sanctuary cities" and states. Most are far from the border, and thus until the last few months have paid no price for the massive flood of illegals into states like Texas.
This total insulation from negative effects allowed Dem pols in northern cities to posture that dey *looved* illegal immigrants (though they never used that term, preferring to disguise the truth by calling them simply "undocumented"), and saying the invaders were totally welcome to come to their cities where they would be given "sanctuary."
The Dems could posture this way because all the problems caused by illegals were inflicted on Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. The Dems never actually imagined the illegals would show up in their cities.
But then they did--and suddenly the Dems were crying for help: "Dis not FAIR," they screamed.
The first demonstration of Dem hypocrisy came when the governor of Florida flew 100 or so illegals to pricey Martha’s Vineyard--one of Obozo's several homes. The island was awash with signs saying "Everyone welcome here," but that was just "virtue signaling." Residents quickly arranged for the illegals to be shipped to a military base off the island.
For residents of that rich island--overwhelmingly liberal Democrats--that solved their problem. But many Americans recognized the brazen hypocrisy.
Same with New York City: the mayor and city council have long bleated that they're a "sanctuary city," but as more illegals began arriving from Texas, the mayor began shipping them to surrounding small towns.
Problem was, unlike New York City, those towns hadn't declared themselves sanctuary cities, and have gone to court to stop the mayor's cunning "solution."
Of course you can expect the state's highest court to overrule the towns (it's probably already done so), since governor Kathy Hochul has declared the entire state a sanctuary.
Same problem with Chicago: Democrats like former mayor Lori Lightfoot, and the current communist mayor, have posed and preened about welcoming illegals. A hispanic female alderman bleated that Chicago "must be a welcoming city for immigrants” and reaffirmed that “our city is responsible for acting with solidarity towards the people that are the most marginalized and the most impacted by a system that oppresses them.”
Got that, comrade? Dey beez oppressed in dere home countries, an' dat beez your fault!
But when illegals started arriving from Texas, suddenly Chicago's Democrat pols recognized that their posing was about to cost both money and votes, so they quickly demanded help from the biden regime. Dem voters in wards where the city planned to house illegals were outaged that the city never consulted them.
Former mayor Lori Lightfoot demanded that the migrants be sent elsewhere or kept in border states that had been overwhelmed by millions of illegals instead of just a few thousand.
At this point naive Americans might think Democrat politicians would "recalibrate" their position, realizing that continuing to support unlimited illegal immigration would cost them votes. But they won't. Instead they'll get their Mainstream Media allies to flood the zone with heart-wrenching stories about the plight of illegals in their home countries, and how it's "only fair" to allow them to come to the U.S.--not as illegals invading but as "refugees."
If you think that's far-fetched you haven't been paying attention, because that's exactly the tactic they used to stop Trump's efforts to close the border: endless stories about poor homosexuals who were oppressed in their home nations. Endless photos of sad-eyed waifs--but never of fat, well-dressed illegal parents with pricey Nike sneakers and i-phones.
The only difference this time is that now stories about the "oppressed refugees" will include dozens of trannies, desperate to get "gender-affirming care" here--for "free," of course.
We'll see the same tapdance with reparations: the Dems won't back off because they can't afford to lose black votes. So the strategy will be to disguise reparations so whites don't recognize them, but Dem operatives in the black community will point to the disguised payments as proof that the Dems are working to get the whole enchilada.
For example, Newsom’s task force has demanded an assortment of benefits for blacks, such as having the state subsidize home purchases for blacks, and taking over development projects to guarantee black home ownership. The Media will trumpet these cash-equivalent benefits to keep blacks voting Democrat, convinced that the full cash payments they demand are right around the corner.
And of course that's true, since if the Dems win just four seats in the House, and retain the presidency, the entire government will once more be back in their control--at which point it will be easy to pass a federal law for nationwide reparations.
And if you think that's absurd, impossible, consider this: If I'd told you ten years ago that the Democrats would have quietly rammed through "rules" to force taxpayers to pay for sex-change surgery for 70-year-olds, via Medicare, or the same for young low-income Americans via Medicaid, would you have believed it? All that was necessary was for the Deep State to DECREE that such operations were "medically necessary." Which they quickly, quietly did.
If I'd told you ten years ago that the Democrats would *demand* that your five-year-old take an experimental, ineffective "vaccine" to be able to attend school, but that the same Democrats would allow a million kids of illegals to attend that same school not only without the covid jab, but without having ANY of the vaccinations your kid was required to have, would you have believed it?
If I'd told you ten years ago that a Democrat president would order working taxpayers who'd never attended college, or went to college and paid off their student loans, to pay off the student loans of favored supporters, would you have believed it?
Finally, if I'd told you a Dem president would *order* "his" FBI to refuse to comply with a valid congressional subpoena, would you have believed it?
Thanks to biden and the Democrats, the rule of law, and the Founders' idea that all are equal under the law, and that the Constitution is "the supreme law of the land," are all vanishing, faster than you can imagine.
Thanks to the corrupt Mainstream Media, you don't even notice.
Forcing people who never owned slaves to pay money to people who never were
slaves, on the grounds that slavery once existed, can only be seriously considered in a nation where mental illness has been deemed normal.
