A good rule of thumb in contemporary politics is that the people who oppose a change are the ones who benefit from things staying as they are.
Take election integrity. Americans today need proof of identity to get a job, enroll their child in school, open a bank account, or adopt a pet. Yet opponents of secure elections are adamantly opposed to requiring ID for voting. If it is not racist to ask for identification to open an account at your neighborhood savings and loan, why is it racist to prove you are eligible to vote?
The answer, of course, is that it is not racist to ask for ID. It is a reasonable, common-sense requirement. So why do Democrat leaders oppose it? Simple: they benefit from cheating. If they did not, they would not fight so vociferously to keep it easy to cheat.
It has recently come to light that more than two million people who entered the U. S. illegally were given social security numbers by Biden/Harris. Their administration lied, directly and repeatedly, about this. If we had an honest and professional media, it would be a scandal playing out on the front page of every American newspaper. Most news outlets have ignored it, thus expediting their descent into irrelevance.
In the last Congress, the very top priority of the Democrats was to nationalize elections; effectively banning voter ID and requiring same day registration. It was called HR 1, and it was their single most important goal. The Democrats want people voting who are not eligible. It is undeniable.
Look also at Ukraine. President Trump was the only candidate in 2024 who campaigned on ending the war. Harris/Biden wanted more war, more spending, more unaccounted dollars flowing east they could be sent back west to fill the coffers of defense contractors, crooked politicians, and their ilk.
Zelensky has said about half of the money sent to Ukraine has “disappeared.” They do not know what happened to it. Yet when the House GOP wanted to require the full accounting of all taxpayer money sent to Ukraine, Democrats overwhelmingly opposed it. Why? Who is opposed to honest and transparent management of government funds? People who are corrupt, aka, Democrats.
Then there is DOGE. The entire apparatus of the national Democrat Party has fought tooth and talon against all efforts to make government more honest, open, and accountable. They are outraged that any federal employees might no longer be needed, might be asked to come into the office, or might be subject to even the most basic expectations associated with professional management.
When Bill Clinton reduced the federal workforce by more than 300,000, Democrats cheered it. When Trump tries it today, he is vilified. The reason is pure politics. Democrats feel Trump’s efforts are reducing their power. And power is their sine qua non.
When the Keystone Pipeline was cancelled on day one by Biden, about 10,000 people lost their jobs. When asked about it, Biden laughed derisively and said they could “…learn to code.” No Democrat leaders cared.
When hundreds of thousands of Americans lost their jobs because they did not want to get an untested, experimental Covid vaccine, no Democrat cared. Their opposition to DOGE is based on their desire to cling to power, and nothing more.
People who benefit from corrupt systems do not want them changed. The adage says, “follow the money.”
The entire federal government has become a massive trough from which big government swine feast at our expense. Elected officials get rich through insider trading; governmental agencies throw around money like it was confetti; NGOs allied with the Democrats live off your tax dollars; and the kids and spouses of elected officials get plush appointments, contracts, and funding that keeps them fat and happy.
The people who benefit from this corruption oppose ending it.
