Yesterday I wrote about the man thought to be behind funding these ICE raid riots here:
“The Man Rumored to be Behind the LA ICE Riots” – The Thinking Conservative
The purpose of that article was to look at one perspective answering the question on everybody’s minds:
“Who is behind these ICE riots going on in Los Angeles?”
Today we will address the other major question on everybody’s minds:
“Why have Democrats seemingly lost their minds, throwing their allegiance behind criminal illegal aliens over naturalized American citizens?”
In the article yesterday we noted how the socialists and communists seem to be heavily rooted in many of the NGOs perpetuating both the violence and false narrative that this is somehow President Donald Trump’s fault. Multiple Democrat politicians have indicated that if President Trump simply stands down with his ICE raids, all of the protests and associated violence will stop.
This begs the question, if the shoe was on the other foot, and MAGA conservative Republicans came to the big blue cities to burn the politicians out of their homes and send them running for their lives, would they still want President Trump to stand down?
The fact of the matter is this false narrative is the perfect example of devious Democrats gaslighting the American public. An older public figure by the name of David Brown took to the Internet yesterday to offer his explanation of what these ICE raid protests and riots are really all about. Mr. Brown really seemed to knock it out of the park in his very short video!
“So do you want to know what all of this craziness in LA is really about: the riots, the organized protests, and the current chaos unfolding in the sanctuary city known as Los Angeles?
Well, it’s not organic and it’s definitely not random. It’s actually a calculated move by the leftist ruling class to protect the one thing that keeps them in power: Census-based political control.
You see house seats and electoral (college) votes aren’t based on how many citizens live in a state, just how many people are counted in that state and that includes illegal aliens. They are counted as well. So when over 10 million plus float across the border into blue states like New York and California over the last 4 years, it’s not about compassion, it’s about math.
More bodies equal more power in congress. But now, mass deportation and people fleeing these blue states are threatening that math. For every 740,000 illegal aliens that are deported from a blue state is one congressional seat in 2030. And if that trend continues the DNC just doesn’t lose votes, they lose control, and likely for good.
This is why they would burn a city down like LA to stop Trump. This is why we’re seeing the panic. Media hysteria to stop deportations, state level obstruction, to protect population counts, protests and riots like we’re seeing in LA designed to bait the feds and flip the narrative.
This was never about human rights and compassion. They don’t care about you. They don’t care about your safety. They only care about control and power. It’s political survival, and the census is the real battlefield.”
CONCLUSION:
Dave Brown does an outstanding job summarizing what these ICE raid protests and riots are really all about in America. His one sentence conclusion is:
“The war against ICE is about keeping illegals here to be counted in the 2030 census so they can maintain the diminishing power they have in the House.”
The one thing I am not sure he said is correct and I cannot account for is when he said:
“For every 740,000 illegal aliens that are deported from a blue state is one congressional seat in 2030.”
I do not believe this is correct as there are variables involved to make such a blanket statement. My research indicates he may have picked this off of a post by the very popular political pundit on X who goes by DC_Draino of June 9th.
@DC_Draino
“Every 740,000 illegal aliens deported from a blue state is -1 Congressional seat in 2030
This is why they would rather burn their city down to stop Trump”
The problem I had with this statement was confirmed by Google AI when asking; How many people equals one Electoral College vote in the census?
“Each state gets a number of electoral votes equal to its total number of representatives in Congress, which includes two Senators plus the number of its Congressional districts (representatives in the House).
For example, based on 2023 population estimates, one electoral vote in Wyoming accounts for about 194,000 people, while in Texas, Florida, or California, it’s over 700,000.
If electoral votes were distributed evenly across the U.S. population, each vote would represent roughly 623,000 people.
However, the number of people represented by a single elector can vary widely, from under 200,000 to over 700,000.”
To understand where David Brown may have gotten his thought on this and number is it was recently reported it is thought that 850,000 illegal aliens are in LA County alone. Again, when Google AI is asked about this, Google AI says that number is actually closer to 900,000! Keep in mind, this happened because Governor Gavin Newsom (D) made California a “Sanctuary State”.
So, if you do the math, it has been reported the Joe Biden Administration unlawfully allowed between 10 and 20 million undocumented and un-vetted illegal aliens into our country over the last 4 years. If you divide the lower number of 10 million by 623,000 you get 16 Electoral College members and if you use the 20 million figure that makes for 32 Electoral College members.
There are 538 members in the Electoral College. In the last election President Donald Trump received 312 Electoral College votes while Vice President Kamala Harris received 226 Electoral College votes. If you were to shift 32 Electoral College votes from Trump to Harris, Trump would have had 280 while Harris would have had 258, making for a much closer race.
Steve Morris of “The Recount” may have been one of the first to call attention to this problem for the Democrats in this very good video of 3 months ago.
“Why People Are Leaving Blue States — And Why Dems Should Worry” – The Recount
My advice to the Republican Party, after listening to the opinions of Brown and Morris, is they had better make sure the Democrats are not allowed to mess with our next census in April of 2030. Both the 2020 General Election and the 2025 usurpation of power by the Judiciary Branch over the Executive Branch offer proof of how Democrats lie, cheat and steal to maintain power and control.
They won’t stop until they face consequences and bad things begin to happen to them, in my humble opinion and I am waiting for that day with anticipation.
