Behind the Protesters are the Ballot Harvesters
American Thinker ^ | 13 Jan, 2025 | Christopher Chantrill

Posted on 01/13/2026 4:25:14 AM PST by MtnClimber

For everyone in politics the only thing that matters is hanging on to power.

It’s interesting that our liberal friends are all fainting this week because of the death of Renee Nicole Good on January 7 at the hands of an ICE agent during a “peaceful protest” where she was using her SUV to block ICE operations. Almost exactly five years ago on January 6 our liberal friends had no problem with a Capitol police officer shooting Ashli Babbit as she climbed unarmed through a broken window into the Capitol in an “armed insurrection” against the United States government.

What is going on with our liberal friends training divorced mothers of three to engage in protest against ICE agents searching for illegal aliens as prescribed by law?

Let’s analyze the January 6 and January 7 narratives from the liberal point of view.

For our liberal friends the violent Capitol riots on January 6 were an existential threat to the System. OMG! What if the Senate had thrown out the official results of the 2020 election and considered alternate slates of Electors! It would have been the end of the world as we know it.

Er, no, dear liberal friends. But we might have got a look into the national problem of mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.

For our liberal friends the peaceful protest against ICE in Minneapolis on January 7 was a noble effort by devoted activists to prevent the deportation, by an authoritarian regime and its ICE thugs, of innocent migrants just trying to make a living.

Er, no, dear liberal friends. Peaceful protests have nothing to do with the case.

The situation in Minnesota is that the electorate is probably slightly Republican. So how do our liberal friends manage to keep Minnesota blue? Perfectly simple. Minnesota goes Democrat

I wonder what percentage of the vote is fraudulent in Minnesota.

The entire US Civil War from 1861-1865 was a peaceful protest, if you squint and look at it just right.

The Ashli Babbitt shooting is the perfect analogue.

Both shootings by officers empowered by the federal government.

The political bent of Ashli Babbitt: Clearly opposite to Renee Good.

The magnitude of the danger posed by Ashli Babbitt’s actions: Clearly less than that posed by Renee Good.

The revulsion purportedly felt by those politically aligned with Renee Good, on the occasion of her death? Entirely absent in those same people, in the case of Ashli Babbitt.

They are acting politically and should be ignored.

Probably all of it just like New York, California, Massachussets.

Massachussets was a major eye opener for me back in 2016. I’m in sales and that whole year I was all over Mass. from Pittsfield, Worcester, Boston and all I saw was Trump bumper stickers, Trump lawn signs, Trump posters in store windows, some guy even put up a Trump billboard on i-95. I rarely saw anything even remotely related to Satans daughter Hillary, yet she won the state? Like HELLL she did! Like hell she did! It perfectly explained to me how a drunken bum like Ted Kennedy was “reelected” for 50 years even after he murdered Mary Jo.

Bottom line: Democrats have been fixing elections for decades and Republicans do absolutely nothing about it just like they are doing absolutely nothing now about the Russian collusion seditionists.

Behind the paid protestors, aka pawns, are the untouched, wealthy puppet masters.

You make Republicans sound like the hapless Washington Generals, but with a good coach like John Thune, they are actu...

Never mind.

I would add that Babbitt never got a warning and was surrounded by police when she was shot.

Good comment. I am a life-long MA resident. We certainly have more Conservatives here than one might think. But the Liberals here are loudmouth crazies and so the Conservatives tend to avoid political discussions. We may be hard to spot. But we’re here. Through gerrymandering, the Democrats have ensured that the GOP has basically no elected representatives to speak of. But the GOP does get something like 45% of the vote. And, as you point out, the Democrats are likely monkeying with the voting and our “45%” may deserve to be 51%. There is a lot of fraud here.

The entire world sees MA as a reliably Democrat state, but with honest elections, we might actually edge over to the Republican side.

Yep. I said here as soon as it happened, I will be just as sympathetic to Renee Good as the Left was to Ashley Babbit.

Don't bother with the usual "why.....gasp!....that's so classless!

Don't care. I'm done with the Marquis de Queensberry rules. I'm done with losing "with dignity". Screw that. Its a dirty nasty street fight. I am perfectly willing to get down in the gutter and be every bit as nasty as the Leftists are in return. I'm comfortable with hitting back in kind and making no apologies for it - just like they do. That's one of THE best things about President Trump. He hits back just as hard and they can't stand it.

I remember hen Massachusetts voted for Reagan. The Democrats don’t want that to happen again.

The other difference is that Ashley Babbitt never posed a risk to anybody. She was unarmed. She was not behind the wheel of a 4500 pound vehicle barreling toward someone.....aka a deadly weapon.

I posted, recently, that Congress Dems/RINOs obviously consider THEIR grifting lives much more valuable and important than they do the lives of these dear ICE LEOs.

Disgusting selfish beings that these rats are.

Too many erroneous reports by news media that may have the truth, but doesn’t necessarily report it.

I can’t say how many Republicans may not be acting as they should, but Democrats surely know how to set up the roadblocks to truth.

Maybe quantim can explain the state political landscape there to you. I'm not pinging them because I really have no interest in the BS that would likely ensue. Suffice it to say, they apparently know more about the politics in my state than I do as well.

Amazing to me that a big fuss hasn’t been raised about the shooting of Ashli Babbit.

That left a million Americans dead or wounded. Some protest.

They can usually cheat between 3-5% statewide. Heavier in cities and especially cities with Somalian populations where nobody dare check.
