Chicago voters send message to Biden ahead of visit: City 'completely fed up' with Democrats
Fox News ^ | 5/08/24 | Elizabeth Heckman

Posted on 05/09/2024 1:17:07 AM PDT by Libloather

Chicago residents expressed frustration and anger with President Biden ahead of his visit to the city, warning that Black voters are turning on the Democratic Party in huge numbers.

P-Rae Easley and Betty Guider joined "FOX & Friends First" on Wednesday to explain why they think the city is no longer "the Democratic stronghold that they anticipated."

"The city is completely fed up with the Democratic Party. We are stepping over illegals every day. They are now trying to break into people's homes. Gas is through the roof, groceries are through the roof, violence is up. Nothing is comfortable here under Democratic leadership. We're all moving on," said Easley.

Guider explained that the Democratic Party has always counted on support from the Black community, but now Democrats seem to have stopped trying to appeal to Black voters.

"So many of our Black members have decided to change over, to switch from blue to red. And I think it's kind of too late now to come to Chicago to appeal to us. It's nothing here for him. We are fed up," said Guider.

Easley thinks more voters are going to vote for Trump despite Biden winning the city in 2020 by a landslide. She said the situation is changing quickly because of Democrats' policies on migrants.

"I think that they're definitely going to vote for Donald Trump, because we can't afford to keep subsidizing the illegals who are coming here. … People are proudly stating that they're going to vote for the first time in their lives, and they're going to run to the polls to vote for Donald John Trump," she added.

Guider explained that Chicago residents are tired of the same issues facing the city but meanwhile, support is available for illegal immigrants.

African Americans have been the favored minority for decades, the results have disastrous, now the favorite minority is all the illegals running across the border. Finally, a few African Americans have figured how they have been screwed and how bad things are getting.

Too far gone, it doesn’t matter how they vote from here on out. I also fear that this is the case at the local, state, and Federal level across the nation as well.

If you're going to vote multiple ballots, why not make one of them for Trump?(/sarc)

Yeah, that’s what they say now, but come November, they will remain on the plantation, enslaved by their own false beliefs.

Democrats give blacks a lot of freebies Republicans do not. That’s why they get the black vote.

Although black people are, on average, more conservative than white liberals, a significant break among black voters from the Democratic Party should be unlikely, because the Democratic Party treats black people collectively as an interest group it services, and the GOP does not.

Giving stuff to and doing stuff for black people is one of the main things the Democratic Party is about. Central to its messaging is that they do things for black people. That is why Joe Biden promised to nominate a black Supreme Court justice, and Gavin Newsom promised to fill a Senate vacancy with a black appointee.

The Republican Party’s messaging to white people isn’t as explicit, but the subtext is clear. They’re saying that the Democrats want to take stuff from “you,” their prospective voter who is probably white, and give it to “somebody else” who is probably black or an immigrant.

For black voters to switch in large numbers from the party that promises to give stuff to black people to the party that opposes giving stuff to black people, the Democrats have to err spectacularly. Basically, black people have to hate the stuff the Democrats are giving them.

One major thing the Democrats have been giving black people since 2020 is the Black Lives Matter agenda: Less policing, less traffic enforcement, less pretrial detention, less imprisonment, fewer police interactions with black men in areas where a lot of black people live.

It is possible that a lot of black people actually hate the Black Lives Matter agenda. It is possible that they are upset that people are driving sixty miles an hour down the street where their kids play. It is possible they blame Democrats for the rise in crime and disorder.

Black people bear the brunt of rising crime much more than white people do, so when white liberals believe crime is a conservative bogeyman, they think they’re being antiracist, but they’re actually dismissing the concerns of black people who are experiencing rising crime acutely.

The other thing that might be happening is that the GOP message that the Democrats are taking something from “you” and giving it to “somebody else” is appealing to black voters more than it has in previous cycles, because this time, the “somebody else” is migrants.

A lot of black voters live in large cities and a lot of migrants have flowed into those cities in the last couple of years, and black people in those cities are experiencing more negative impact from this than white liberals are.

The school gymnasium or the community center in a black neighborhood may have been turned into a shelter for migrants, or migrants may be congregating in a park in a predominantly black neighborhood. City programs that historically benefited black residents may be cut to defer funds to migrant services.

White liberals experience the migrants as, like, an unlicensed vendor selling cut mango in front of the art museum, and black voters experience the migrants as MS-13 selling fentanyl on their block.

I still have a hard time imagining that a lot of black voters are going to support Donald Trump, who, for better or worse, has successfully been tagged as a racist. But if black people are really fleeing Joe Biden, then it reveals a stunning disconnect, because the Biden administration has been more dedicated to “stuff for black people” than any Democratic administration in my lifetime.

If Biden is losing the support of black voters, then that means that crime and immigration are more important to black people than the BLM agenda, the appointment of black judges and executive branch officials, affirmative action and diversity policies, and student loan forgiveness.

I can relate. The Republican Party has done nothing but approve funding for every democrat dream. Not ever during the budget talks did leadership say nope, shut it down. Instead they went pro abortion, pro homosexual pro groomer and tranny madness.
What kind of mother would not sacrifice her life for her child???? What kind of man would love a woman like that????? Apparently the new Republican Party.
The Republican Party left me. So will continue to support state and local elections. Just not the far left republicans who endorse the Marxist agenda by paying for it. Big pharma vax leaders can apparently do without my vote anyway.

Yuri Bezmenov bump.

The four stages he [Yuri Bezmenov] outlined serve as a framework for understanding the gradual erosion of a society’s values, beliefs, and institutions.

Stage 1: Demoralization
Demoralization is the first stage of ideological subversion, and it involves the systematic undermining of a society’s moral and ethical foundations. Bezmenov explained that this process typically takes 15–20 years, roughly the time needed to educate one generation. During this stage, foreign agents seek to infiltrate educational institutions, media, and cultural platforms to influence the minds of young people. The goal is to instill a sense of disillusionment, moral relativism, and a rejection of traditional values.

In the demoralization phase, individuals are conditioned to question their own cultural identity, history, and societal norms. The emphasis is on creating a sense of instability and disorientation within the target population. This sets the stage for the subsequent phases of ideological subversion.

Stage 2: Destabilization
Once demoralization has taken root, the next stage is destabilization. This phase is characterized by the weakening of essential institutions and structures within the society. Bezmenov pointed out that this process can be expedited if foreign influence successfully manipulates the political, economic, and defense systems. Key sectors such as law enforcement, military, and intelligence are targeted to compromise the nation’s ability to respond to external and internal threats.

Destabilization aims to create a state of crisis, fostering a sense of insecurity and anxiety among the population. Economic instability, social unrest, and political polarization become prominent features of this stage, laying the groundwork for further manipulation.

Stage 3: Crisis
The third stage of ideological subversion is the crisis phase. By this point, the society is in a state of chaos, with heightened tension and a breakdown of trust in institutions. Bezmenov highlighted that this crisis could manifest in various forms, including political upheaval, economic collapse, or social unrest. The goal is to push the society to a breaking point where people are desperate for solutions, paving the way for radical change.

During the crisis phase, external forces may exploit the vulnerabilities within the society, offering alternative ideologies or solutions. This creates an opportunity for a shift in power dynamics and the imposition of foreign ideologies on the now susceptible population.

Stage 4: Normalization
The final stage is normalization, where the previously subverted ideology becomes the new norm. Bezmenov emphasized that this phase is not about a return to stability but rather the establishment of a new societal order based on the foreign ideology. The once-targeted society is now reshaped according to the infiltrating force’s vision, erasing its original cultural identity and values.

Normalization solidifies the control of the foreign ideology, and the population may no longer resist as the altered reality becomes accepted and internalized. The society is transformed, and the process of ideological subversion is complete.

Yuri Bezmenov’s insights into the stages of ideological subversion remain relevant, serving as a cautionary reminder of the importance of preserving the values, institutions, and cultural identity that define a nation. Understanding these stages provides a framework for recognizing and countering potential threats to the integrity of a society.

"Chicago voters send message to Biden ahead of visit: City 'completely fed up' with Democrats"

So fed up Joe Biden will win Cook County, IL by 50+ points this November (Biden received 82% of the vote there in 2020.)

The Paul Ryan Party will vote for whatever affords it a business opportunity. They are not GOP, nor Republican, nor Democrat. The Paul Ryan Party will sound like, whatever it needs to gather votes. The Paul Ryan Party will appear to be, whatever twist satisfies a message for a situation.

The PRP says that it wants to cut government spending, but the PRP does not mention cuts of the deals it has made - the expenditures buried in “appropriations” and bills that have titles that are distant from THE TRUTH IN LABELING ACT principle.

Those acts of Congress that THE AUTHORS say they “don’t have time to read.”

Traditionally, blacks in the big cities vote 95% Democrat.

Imagine that in 2024, blacks in big cities decide to vote 30% Donald Trump.

But Dems cheat, and when the ballots are counted, the world will be told that blacks in the big cities voted 95% Democrat.

No one will raise a fuss. Not even the blacks. It will be a big shrug. “They always do that”.

I don’t believe a word of it. Democrats are constitutionally and genetically incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong. They can’t even recognize the source of their woes when it’s right in front of them. Finally, Chicago has the Swiss watch of vote fraud machines in case needed.

I’ve heard conservative black public figures bemoan the fact that there is an unbreachable wall of blithering ignorance among a vast majority of blacks to the effect that Trump/Republicans are racist.0

I am tired of these bait stories meant to give our side some false hope that some group once loyal to the Democrats is changing.

It doesn’t happen.
