There are just some people who can’t walk away from abuse. While most people, most women, in a relationship will hit the bricks if the man they’re seeing even seems like he’d raise his hand to her – and either men have it in them or they don’t, no one switches sides willy nilly or comes to this point late in life – others take abuse and return, time after time. Apparently, the thought of “He’s really sorry and won’t do it again” sticks around in the brain as long as Joe Biden has these days. That – this collective, self-delusional dementia – is how the Democratic Party can get anyone’s vote, ever.
The wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Democrats’ favorite alleged gang member, is demanding his prompt return to the United States, despite the fact that she has filed police reports on at least two occasions claiming he was physically abusive with her.
Jennifer Vasquez Sura wants her husband back, just like so many other abuse victims still think they “love” their abusers, and that their abusers “love” them. But love doesn’t involve a right hook or the back of the hand.
Still, leftists have been pouring money and support into the cause of returning the man she once feared for her life from, with elected officials making a pilgrimage to his prison like he were a political prisoner and not an illegal alien.
Imagine the pressure on Jennifer. Maybe she’s being sincere, or perhaps she’s seeing one half of the political world descend on her and her family, showering her with moral and financial support the likes of which she’s never received before. How do you stand up to that? How do you do anything with that other than exactly what it wants you to do?
In the world of politics, solid blue Democrat Party enclaves are the closest analogy out there. Cities where Democrats have had complete control, absolute control, for generations, while the lives of their constituents and the neighborhoods in which they live have entirely gone to hell.
You have to ask yourself, “Why?”
Not because of the destruction, that is the nature of progressive politics – it is a parasite that destroys its host – but why on the idea that people don’t simply choose another option.
I grew up in Detroit and moved to Baltimore after graduating from college to work in Washington, DC. These are three once-great American cities completely gutted by the cancer that is Democrat Party control. The sad thing is, in even the worst areas of these cities, you can drive and see the shadow of what once was.
They, and other cities like them, weren’t always hell holes of vacant lots, abandoned buildings, crime, and drugs. Democrats created them. You can argue the destruction was an unintended consequence of their policies, but once it became known as a common consequence, it is worth noting that they did not reverse course. The addiction, economic ruin, decay, destruction, all the lives lost, and all the lives damaged in the wake of all of that didn’t elicit any self-reflection or course correction from the left. A serial killing sociopath would be hard-pressed not to feel at least a tinge of guilt over this thorough decimation of tens of millions of people. Yet, the DNC and its army of Borg drones show all the remorse of a Terminator completing its mission.
California recently saw Democrats block a bill that would make it a felony to buy–yes, buy-a child of 16 or 17 for sex. It’s already a felony in the state to sell a child up to the age of 17 for sex – just call it what it is: sex slavery – but to buy a child is only a guaranteed felony charge up to the age of 15, where it becomes either a felony or a misdemeanor for 16 and 17.
What kind of sick people would carve out a misdemeanor charge for child sexual predators who prefer slightly older kids? Democrats.
How many child rapists in good standing must there be in the Democrat Party in California for them to make a public stand against this?
Headlines like “California Democrats reject push for harsher penalties for soliciting sex from older teens,” and “California Democrats block another attempt to ramp up penalties for sex solicitors of 16 and 17-year-olds,” have not deterred them. Hell, the odds of you having heard about it are almost nothing because the people who “speak truth to power” are in on the scam.
Evil is the best word that comes to mind.
The relationship between the Democrat Party and its voters is the relationship between an abuser and their victim who just can’t escape their clutches. Republicans would do well to remember that when trying to do outreach into these hotbeds of progressive destruction and remind their voters that it doesn’t have to be this way – that a black eye or busted jaw is not a sign of love, or a rotten education system designed to condition children into permanent poverty is not respect, they’re the exact opposite.
