Nothing Scares Democrats More Than the Idea of Merit

By Derek Hunter 

The Supreme Court striking down Democrat racism in the drawing of Congressional districts set off a predictable wave of panic across the Left, as the concept of having to make a case to voters who aren’t simply blindly loyal to the party began to sink in. While Democrats will happily sterilize or mutilate any pre-teen going through puberty confusion, they absolutely refuse to have a conversation with an American who will not bow down to their left-wing agenda. Why? Because they can’t. There is no case to be made by the Left to normal people, so they refuse to and have created districts of the obedient to serve the party, as nothing scares the hell out of a Democrat more than having to compete for anything based on merit.

You see this with unions, where they fight tooth and nail to block or repeal right-to-work laws. They are terrified of people having the choice to join a union or not, they’d rather simply force them. If their product was so good – if the benefits of union membership were obvious, people would voluntarily flock to them. That they don’t tells you pretty much everything you know about it, doesn’t it?

The same goes for Congressional Districts – Democrats would rather pick their voters than try to convince them.

Maryland is a prime example. There used to be three Republicans in Maryland’s Congressional Delegation; now there is one. Democrats redrew the state in a way that made the map look like someone sneezed on a wet Rorschach test to eliminate two of the GOP seats and lamented they weren’t able to get the 3rd…yet.

This started in 2010 and continued in 2020, but Texas is somehow what “forced” Democrats to gerrymander Virginia? It’s almost like they’re lying, or something, isn’t it?

Now that the party can no longer create districts to funnel minorities together and ensure a Democrat district, you’d think they’d at least consider the idea of making a case to everyone as to why they should vote for them. That isn’t even being discussed.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul tweeted on April 29, “The Supreme Court has been chipping away at our elections for years. It is clearly carrying out Donald Trump’s will with this decision. New York has always led the fight for voting rights and we’ll lead again. I’m working with the Legislature to change New York’s redistricting process so we can fight back against Washington’s attempts to rig our democracy.”
     
Illinois Governor and Blimp JB Pritzker announced he would be looking for ways to ignore the decision, too. I’m old enough to remember when the concept of anyone subverting a court decision was a “threat to our democracy,” but then it’s hard to scream that while yelling how you’re defending it out the other side of your face (no matter how fat that face is).

Nowhere will you find Democrats attempting to win people to their side; they just want to herd people already there into districts where they water down anyone else who dares to think for themselves. It’s political date rape — they’re going to get their way, no matter what they have to do in order to get it.

Former President Joe Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris hysterically claimed they wanted “to be President of all Americans!” They then spent their time in office and on the campaign trail speaking violently of half the country. During his four years in the White House, Biden never once gave an interview to Fox News, and Kamala only gave one to Bret Baier, which means they spoke to and addressed the questions of half the country exactly once in four years.

But they want to be President for all Americans? How do you do that when you refuse to speak with them?

You can’t. And Democrats like it that way, which is why they’ve set up systems designed to ensure they retain power without ever having to.

The Supreme Court put a major dent in that concept for Democrats this week, but don’t expect the Left to comply. They will fight so hard to protect their access to power, you’d think they were fighting for illegal alien gang members or something, because their power is their top priority. And they know they can’t make a case for their cause to anyone who won’t reflexively obey or on the merits of their ideas. That should tell everyone all they need to know about how to vote.
