I’m wondering how we will ever come back from the kind of mass psychosis presently displayed by certain demographic groups, party affiliation, and ethnicity in Minnesota. This is not just a rhetorical taunt. This a follow up to the Somalian fraud problem still emerging and if course it will ultimately apply to numerous other states and cities, but what we see so far is an up-close magnified view of the Americans that are running cover and counter offenses for the perpetrators in this state’s fraud enterprise. My question and this post are not a repeat of the charges and evidence of fraud which are manifold, nor is it just about the political fallout which will likely oust Gov. Walz, AG Ellison, and stands to totally upend the balance of political power in the state. Do not these groups of people in Minnesota have any inking of how they’re viewed by the ‘red’ and even ‘purple’ jurisdictions of the United States? If you look at a US electoral map by county, I refer to approximately 95%+ of the country.
I’m aware there are groups that see themselves as winners or losers in any given political climate. Democrats want to win, keep winning and never lose, ever. (By contrast, some Republicans seem to enjoy it as a regular practice). Any community large or small; any ethnicity, clan, business, or enterprise, legal or illegal, wants to perpetuate income success, and few to none of them would naturally relinquish a sure source of revenue, even if they had some level of awareness that the income was ill-gotten. What about our ‘children’? We have no other viable options. Our luxuries long ago become our needs. Nana will die without xyz… Therefore, how could this be wrong. These questions evolve into something like: We were promised… We were assured… We are being betrayed… Therefore, it, [cutting our fraudulent funding] is wrong… We are victims… Those intervening are evil. These are the kind of mental gymnastics that flow through most people’s head with little to no resistance, whether it’s the owner of a shell daycare or your kid losing his allowance for not cleaning his room. But there are adults that don’t get to play that game, because jail.
It’s the supposed ‘adults’ in the room that are the very most concerning. Let’s start with the millions of legal, legitimately employed and working taxpayers, just in the state of Minnesota; and they vote. Maybe some of them justify the impact of the graft as a necessary ‘tax’ to keep their party in power. But what about the total 2,660 counties (87%) that chose Donald Trump in the 2024 election? A little over a year after that election, that is probably still a fairly reliable gauge of just how many people might have alternate feelings about fraud in Minnesota, after all, we’re comparing jurisdiction to jurisdictions with just a tiny bit of overlap. What are we supposed to feel about criminal enterprises that make the old mafia look like schoolboys taking lunch money?
Given the present disposition of blue state fraud perpetrators/cash recipients and their elected patrons, how can they not build full-scale theft into their own future party platform and campaign promises in 2026 and moving forward? Of course, it is hopeful and probable that the cashflow will be thoroughly quenched by the Trump administration (though not guaranteed), so will we expect of them to demand restoration of sham payments, the shell businesses, and to reimport and re-naturalize any deported fraudsters? The read I get is that this issue is that important to them.
I used to have some progressives among my social media acquaintances, and they were vocal. Maybe it’s the algorithm but I can’t remember the last time I saw a rant. Have they been shamed or converted, or are they just biding their time and waiting for a different administration? Will they still feel the same way once their people are at the top, when Walz et al, are indicted and convicted? Or will they take that as their queue to fight even harder because a conviction of a fraudulent conspiracy is just regarded as a political attack?
How far must it go and what will it take to jolt progressive white women out of their enabling and now increasingly violent activism over this stuff, fraud and attacking ICE? Even antifa is paid to riot but these women are the true believers that apparently will take a bullet for free. How is it that there is now a whole class of people that in the good-ol days, used to care about wages and taxes and economic struggle, are now going to the mat to assure that all of us finance their fetish for illegals and their widespread fraud. How do we come back from that?
