Americans Defund Democrats in Statehouse Elections as Democrats Seek to Defund Police
Breitbart ^ | July 07 2020 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Americans significantly decreased contributions to Democrats running for state legislature seats in the second quarter as the Democrat Party has turned hard left, fundraising information announced this week shows.

The lackluster performance by Democrats at the state level could have broader national implications. First off, state-level political trends sometimes forecast later looming national trends—”from the State House to the White House,” the saying goes.

But more importantly, the state legislatures elected this year will handle redistricting next year heading into the 2022 cycle—influencing the direction of and perhaps control of the U.S. House of Representatives for the next decade.

The working class RAT had better wake up. The new RAT party is hard core marxist and all bets are off. American marxists have worked surreptitiously for 60 years to destroy the country. Now the mask is off.

The working class RAT had better realize he's the sucker his elected representatives are after.

Meanwhile, here in Oklahoma, we're wondering why our elected pimps, Inhofe and Lankford, have not denounced the lawlessness that is sweeping the land.

Since many of the looting victims are urban Democrats, they have less money to give this quarter. :-)

No mystery there—the politicians are owned by the same elites that own the rioters and looters.

That’s why the fictional COVID-19 spike took over the headlines so fast - “Defund the Police” was quickly killing Democrat polling and funding.

:: The working class RAT had better wake up. ::

the big problem here is that “The working class RAT” is typically a member of a Union.
All Unions are Marxist fronts.
They already enjoy Marxism, why would they wake up?

It's not, "why would they?" I used to live in Flint, MI, home of GM's truck and van plant. Everybody I knew, it seemed, worked at the plant. Either labor or management.

Some of them were "woke." But they had no choice. They had to belong to the union or they didn't work.

Labor that is. Management didn’t belong to unions.
