This article is speaking more about the motives of the shadowy top of the leftist pyramid, and I would suggest they posit a good theory on their motives. Hence, the last 4 years of MILLIONS of illegals crossing our border.

As evidenced by the broken damn of illegals suddenly being fixed, like some kind of miracle, in shorter order by Trump, it was all INTENTIONAL.

But at the bottom of the pyramid are the useful idiots.
In the last four years, I’ve had democrat voters get red-faced mad insisting that Biden was not doing it on purpose and was not all but blatantly inviting them to cross illegally.

But while they could ignore the numbers before and after biden took office, it’s no longer possible to ignore the numbers before him, during, and then after.

The useful idiots can’t deny it anymore.
But they still don’t care.
They want what they want (either handouts or abortions, or both), and they sign on with everything else their marxist overlords scheme up.

After the revolution the communist leaders usually do away with the useful idiots.

I agree wholeheartedly with both the AT article and your assessment of the differences between the motivations of the left's power movers vs the left's useful idiots.

As I was reading the article, I couldn't help but think of Orwell's "doublethink". As the leftist leaders push for one crazy cause after another, and the useful idiots comply, the useful idiots are often taught to go for causes that contradict each other. For example (typed in my best Foxworth voice), if you believe most men are rapists waiting to happen, and you also believe we ought to force women and girls to share locker rooms with men...you might be a Democrat.

Stuff like that makes most people go, "Wait a second. It's impossible for both of those causes to be right." But the more the useful idiots accept such obvious doublethink, either by lack of critical thinking skills or fear of speaking out, the more the left's power players control the masses into accepting anything they're told.

There are homes in our town with new signs up...”WE ARE IMMIGRANTS”...including one of our stupid neighbors...would really like to cross out “immigrants” and write “ignorants” on it...they are white. 60 something year olds.
