Here’s why Democrats work so hard to defend criminals

A few days ago, Vice President J.D. Vance in an interview was asked why the Democrats are getting behind criminals and blocking prosecutions and police protection. He responded (to be kind) that the politicians have lost touch with their constituents. But although this might be true of some, he did not get to the real reason.

When Barack Obama was elected president, he indicated that he wanted to fundamentally change America. To that end, he fundamentally changed our health care system, in which many now acknowledge a lack of personal care

..........SNIP.......

Obama is an intelligent person who morphed Saul Alinsky, Marx, Critical Theory, and anarchy into a legitimate political movement. Although it was successful in his personal ascension to power, this approach has not generally gained ground nationally. (It is well received in the large urban cities with large minority populations.) The movement toward radicalism includes a reduction in policing and punishment for crimes. This results in chaos which threatens the local poor and minority population most giving them a sense of hopelessness and desperation. This is critical to the theory. Hence, these political leaders will resist any attempt to make our streets safer.

Democrats defend crime and defunding the police because this keeps them in power. If people are threatened, they are more willing to distrust those who fall into the “oppressor” groups. The impetus to change paradigms does not come easily when “free” stuff is offered to those with little resources. Hence socialist Mamdani is leading for NYC mayor in a city with a large immigrant population. Crime is the chaos that Critical Theory has ordered. Lowering the crime rate in Washington, D.C. by the Trump initiative is a threat to the Democratic leadership.

It only works if the Left has control of enough of the media to control the narrative.

They do not control the narrative any more.

Because prison is where they recruit their shock troops.

Think I am wrong? Maybe a bit far out?

Ok, Consider the riots of 2020. Elderly black men murdered, little black girls shot, billions of dollars in damage to property. Did anyone on the left come out and call for the violence to end? Nah. What did cause them to do that? What caused them to trample each other in their eagerness to reach a microphone to call for the riots to stop?

A seventeen year old young man shot in self defense and took down Huber, Rosenbaum and Grosskreuz. Three white felons. One (Rosenbaum) who had apparently been let out that day to riot.

Innocent minorities that they care so much about murdered? Silence.

White felons justifiably being removed from the board in self defense? We have to stop the violence!

And they did. Kind of amazing how everything just fizzled out after that point.

They could not risk having more of their shock troops exposed.

Someone besides some overly suspicious nut with a keyboard might notice what was going on.

I think democrats, rinos, the other politicians’ reasoning, for promoting crime and promoting crime as non-existent or near nonexistent, is that in order to create a money flow to attorneys, judges, any persons collecting a paycheck within the judicial system there must be a flow of criminals coming into the judiciary. And the taxpayers pay to prosecute. Very vicious cycle of the revolving door which places criminals back onto the streets to commit more criminal acts thereby repeating the process which perpetuates the money flow, much of that money flow is from the law-abiding citizen taxpayers. Attorneys, judges, and those affiliated with collecting a paycheck, by judicial process agree the judicial system works. I disagree.
