JOHNSTOWN, Pennsylvania -- When Ken Miller changed his party registration from Democrat to Republican in September 2020, he said he wasn't doing it for Donald Trump. He had not voted for Trump nor Hillary Clinton in 2016. Rather, he said, he was doing it for himself and his community after watching Democrats govern during the pandemic.
"I am tired of what I am seeing," he said. Democrats appeared to ignore people like Miller, viewing his vote as replaceable by someone in their theoretical ascendant Democratic coalition of young people, women, intellectuals and nonwhite voters. But the thinkers in Washington may have been too clever by half.

I live in Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania has always been center-right, conservative. But the major cities of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh are so riddled with election fixing Democrats that we’re not able to pull off an honest election.

As “Cueball” Carville famously observed, Pennsylvania is “Pittsburgh in the west, Philadelphia in the east, and Alabama in the middle.”

“...in 2020, Obama and former Attorney General Eric Holder raised more than $50 million in an effort to win back state legislatures, including in Pennsylvania. Instead, Democrats lost legislative seats, both in Pennsylvania and nationally, instead of gaining them, despite Joe Biden’s up-ticket victory.”
Yet another indicator that the election was stolen.

Sorry, but I have been watching these stories every election cycle for over 30 years and nothing ever changes.
We always hear Democrats leaving the party because it has become too radical or whatever.
We always hear that black citizens are tired of being taken for granted and will shift a few points to the GOP.
We always hear that women have had enough of Democrat men defending sexual impropriety.
We always hear that the hispanic vote is leaving the Democratic Party.
We always hear that the Jewish vote has had enough of Democrats supporting islamic terrorists and Palestine.
But nothing ever changes.

One thing did change: the fraid expanded greatly. But that change gets suppressed in the “news”, so it seems that nothing ever changes once again . . .

That’s what unassimilated immigrants or illegals have in common. They have no pride or willingness to protect the Bill of Rights with their lives if necessary. This is why Dem autocrats love them. Also why immigration must be contained and assimilation always a requirement.
