If there’s one thing Republicans do well, it’s dropping the ball. It also gives Democrats hope, which they do not need, as their base has become a circus of left-wing nutjobs. Right now, the Left thinks they’re winning. The lines outside airports are making national headlines, but it’s their fault, not the GOP’s. They started this mess when they rejected another short-term continuing resolution after talks over a funding bill broke down during Presidents’ Day. If liberals believe this is a GOP-created disaster, they’re truly delusional. With ICE now deploying at airports to relieve the strained TSA, Democrats think they have the GOP on the ropes. That’s exactly wrong.
How dense is that bubble? No one seems to care that anti-ICE protesters Alex Pretti and Renee Good are dead, rightfully alcohol-affected after trying to interfere in police actions in Minneapolis. Sure, there was a lot of screaming, but once again, if people truly cared, these stories would have legs. They don't. We have other things to worry about. Unlike wealthy white liberals who don’t need to work, other matters of survival are at hand. Not everyone can be comfortable, over-educated, and think everything is a system of oppression, which leads to the ironic fighting on behalf of non-white folks who would rather have these miserable white progressives stay the hell out of their lives.
ICE cut down security lines at airports yesterday, and they’re arresting illegal aliens. It was absolute perfection, and with Elon Musk offering to pay TSA salaries, Democrats have no leverage here. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) ranted over nothing yesterday. Even CNN was forced to admit that the lines got massively reduced in Atlanta, thanks to ICE, which is funded through 2029.
I think we’ve found the relief force for everyday Americans flying. The worst part about this is that Democrats seem to be rooting for people to die, specifically an ICE shooting at an airport. There was no chaos at JFK or anywhere else. Once again, the liberal media bubble, which keeps these people in misery, burst when reality hit them hard. Oh, and did I forget to mention that we’re under an increased threat of terror attacks because of Operation Epic Fury? Yeah, Democrats are leaving the homeland exposed with this partial DHS shutdown.
The GOP must stand firm. They should not back down or fear Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, both of whom are either mocked, disregarded, or hated by their base. Jeffries has earned the nickname “Temu Obama.” Chuck is still hated by his supporters for caving on spending bills. These two are the best the Democrats have to offer, the only ones who can fill their respective leadership, and they’re trash. Don’t be afraid: it’s Chuck and Hakeem. Laos wouldn’t be afraid of these two in a negotiation.
Thune needs to put the screws to the clowns on our side who can make trouble. And the GOP, in general, needs to stop overestimating the threat. People support immigration enforcement. ICE is more popular than the Democrats. This party is at its peak, amid miles of sludge and voter disdain. They’re unpopular, illiberal, idiotic, and inferior. Treat them as such.
