To Whom Do They Bow?

At the State of the Union, Democrats chose illegal aliens over American citizens — and every GOP candidate should make them answer for it

The fact that Democrats would not stand in solidarity with American citizens over illegal aliens was a mid-term political ad that every GOP candidate should run. Every Republican campaign should list the DNC as an in-kind contributor, but in the grand scheme of things, it raises a much larger question:

Just to whom or what do they believe they owe their loyalty?

There are clues, of course. Visible, undeniable, repeated clues that the American people have watched play out in real time across years of political theater, but clues only matter if you’re willing to follow where they lead — and that destination is deeply uncomfortable for anyone who still believes the Democratic Party represents the working men and women of this country.

I mean, they kneeled to BLM. Not metaphorically, not symbolically in some carefully managed press release — they literally dropped to their knees in Kente cloth scarves on the marble floors of the Capitol, performing submission to a movement that burned cities, defunded police departments, and left working-class neighborhoods — disproportionately Black and brown neighborhoods, ironically — more vulnerable and less protected than before. That wasn’t solidarity. That was theater auditioning for a different audience entirely.

They bow to Alex Soros. The infrastructure of the modern left — the activist networks, the prosecutor races, the media pressure campaigns — flows through a financial ecosystem that the average Democratic voter has never examined and would likely find alarming. When policy priorities seem to defy common sense, when district attorneys decline to prosecute, when the border remains functionally open against the explicit wishes of the majority of Americans including legal immigrants, it’s worth asking who is actually setting the agenda. Elected officials who answer to their constituents behave differently than those who answer to their donors and ideological benefactors.

They will genuflect to Islam. We have seen the reverence they hold for pro-Palestine protesters and the restraint they show when called upon to protect Jews as opposed to the lengths they will go to defend any Muslim community. We know about the Somali scam in Minnesota and the so-called “Michigan Problem” that prevented Harris from picking a Jew as a running mate, even when Josh Shapiro would clearly been a better choice than the Minneapolis Moron, Timmy Walz.

They worship celebrities. The Democratic Party has outsourced its moral authority to people whose primary qualification is fame. When the policy position of a pop star or an awards-show monologue carries more weight in Democratic circles than the economic anxiety of a Pennsylvania steelworker or an Arizona rancher watching his property overrun, you have a party that has fundamentally lost the plot.

So what are we supposed to deduce from this? What coherent picture emerges when you step back and look at the full canvas?

My guess is that it is truly the two-headed monster of ideology and the state — and the two heads feed each other. The ideology provides the moral justification, the sense of righteous mission that allows Democratic politicians to dismiss legitimate constituent concerns as bigotry or ignorance. The state provides the mechanism — the funding, the bureaucracy, the regulatory apparatus — that rewards loyalty to the ideological program and punishes deviation from it.

In this framework, American citizens aren’t constituents to be served, they’re subjects to be managed, educated, and if necessary, outvoted through demographic transformation. The illegal alien isn’t a policy problem to be solved. They’re a future dependent, a potential voter, a demographic chess piece in the longer game of House of Representative and Electoral College apportionment.

This is why Democrats couldn’t stand up and simply say: American citizens come first. Not because they’re evil, necessarily, but because within their ideological and institutional framework, that statement is heresy. The nation-state and its citizens aren’t the highest loyalty. The movement is.

Not really a surprise, I guess, but even then, it is a bit jarring to see it performed in public—on prime-time TV, and months away from an important election. In the middle of disaffection, debate and defections to the Trump agenda on the right, they invoke the alleged blind devotion of supporters to President Trump while standing in solidarity with every insanity to oppose him.

Say what you want about Trump’s rhetoric, but there is no doubt the man loves him some traditional Americana and will do anything he needs to do to protect it.

Until Republican candidates make that argument clearly, loudly, and repeatedly, voters who haven’t yet, ain’t going to ever connected these dots.
