When you’re having a hard time completing a project, you only have two choices: trim the requirements and features so that there is less work to do, or you can throw more bodies at the problem.
Survey after survey shows that Americans, when shown the agenda of the left, don’t want that agenda. So when the people fail to adopt what the left wants, the left has two choices: either cut off the more controversial aspects of it, or bring in more people favorable to what they want to do.
They’ve chosen the latter approach. We see that in their open borders policy… they want to bring in as many migrants as possible who are more friendly to their agenda. And now we see it in their expansion plans for the federal Supreme Court… also known as “packing the court.” Create four new slots, fill those slots with liberal judges, and the so-called conservative majority on the court now in place goes away.
T here was a rural area in Oregon during the 1980’s populated by a bunch of farm folk.
Then, an Indian guru, Bhagwan Rajneesh, decided that he would move him and his followers there to overwhelm the locals and create a town where he and his 7,000 followers would reign, and by democratic vote, overrule the wishes of the long-term residents.
The town of Antelope, Oregon, where this took place, tried to unincorporate itself to prevent the takeover, but by this time there were enough followers of Rajneesh to overwhelm the vote and defeat the measure. The newly named city, Rajneeshpuram, replaced Antelope, and the culture of the place changed quite a bit.
The Rajneeshpuram residents believed that the wider Oregonian community was both bigoted and suffered from religious intolerance. Tensions heightened on both sides and violence ensued.
The locals wanted the rural lifestyle they had created and long enjoyed. The new Rajneesh followers believed that they had the right to determine new rules and laws by their sheer numbers.
That story sounds a lot like what is happening today – Americans want to preserve their American way of life. When the left allow hundreds of thousands to swarm our border, those who oppose it are accused of bigotry and intolerance. Violence ensues because neither side believes that the other has any legitimacy.
Ditto for the Supreme Court, which is about to be de-legitimized by trying to employ a tactic to change it that even FDR didn’t succeed in using.
The left is willing to win at all costs. Americans, most of whom just want to live their lives in peace and respect, are getting sucked into the developing political maelstrom.
The Republican Party, which has failed to protect liberty now since about a quarter century past its inception, mostly just sits on its hands and voices tepid opposition while watching all of this take place.
It’s no wonder that Texas House Rep. Kyle Biedermann’s bill to put TEXIT – Texas secession – up for discussion by the voters of Texas gains steam across Texas.
Fewer and fewer want to be part of a country that pursues the agenda that the left pursues. As prices rise across the board due to the Biden Admin’s bad policies, Americans increasingly sour on this president and his party. But that doesn’t stop the left.
The left pushes their pet project to change America. They were having a hard time completing that project, so they’re throwing bodies at the problem.
But no one should be surprised that this approach spawns violence, just as it did in a peaceful rural area in Oregon in the 1980’s.
