What explains the utter heartlessness of the Democrat party as currently constituted?

s anyone aware of current events surely knows, another young woman was murdered by an illegal immigrant with, yet again, a long criminal record but on the streets because sanctuary cities don’t believe in jailing the violent thugs Biden allowed to invade our country.

This time it was in Chicago, the victim, an eighteen year-old freshman college student, Sheridan Gorman.

Walking with friends in a part of the city the reprehensible Gov. J.B. Pritzker has vowed is completely safe, the killer, dressed in black and masked, fired as the girls fled, killing Sheridan. She was shot in the neck. This was yet another murder of a young American woman, one of many, at the hands of known violent illegal migrants who came into the country during the Biden administration, arrested over and over again, released onto the streets again and again to re-commit crime after crime with impunity.

Curiously, (not really), not one Democrat will comment on her murder. Pritzker blamed President Trump even though he is one of the Democrat governors who has refused to cooperate with ICE. As a “sanctuary city” Pritzker has even refused to turn over Gorman’s murderer to ICE! He values his life over Sheridan Gorman’s.

Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson refused the opportunity to apologize to Gorman’s family. Alderman Maria Hadden posted a video essentially blaming the victim for “startling” the man with a gun!

One has to wonder what her take would have been had Sheridan been black. This level of pitilessness is impossible to explain without concluding that the party of the American left today is brutally Marxist. They embrace everything and anything that is against American traditional values. They truly hate those of us who love this nation. Their plan, if they regain power, is going to be all about retribution

They have sold out & are literally owned by enemies, primarily the CCP. It's the only reason I can think of that they would do all kinds of things they would have forsworn as politically suicidal 30 years ago, and to act in seemingly coordinated fashion as if they were phalanges of a new army under the orchestration of one general. Think the ugly realpolitik of being compromised and push common sense as far as you have the stomach for it.

There is a far more uglier reason that very few discuss: the majority of the victim’s are white and the left hates white people; to them white people are intrinsically evil and therefore deserve every bad thing that happens to them, up to being killed.

The only time they care when a white person is killed is using that killing as a stalking horse for “gun control”.
