Shot in the Dark

A Theory

Conventional wisdom and a lot of history say that the party that doesn’t control the White House always get a boost during the mid-terms.  

More conventional wisdom says that if the Democrats just avoid the mistakes of 2024 and dial back the crazy, they’ll do much better electorally.  

But what if the Democrats can’t dial back the crazy?  Or more to the point, what if something came along to make it impossible for them to tamp the crazy down?

Like, say, ICE dismantling a “sanctuary city” with enough brazen force to compel the left to go full Portland, 24/7?

Is the ICE surge the ultimate psyop?

    Mitch’s theory is that the ICE crackdown is intended to push the Left into more insanity so Republicans win the election.

    No. The trigger that has forced the Left’s hand, the threat that’s literally an extinction level event for them, is busting out the fraud.

    Shut down the billions the Left has been stealing, and the rest of the election steal gets much easier to stop.  Not easy, but less hard.

    Mitch is mistaking the ICE theater for the actual issue.  The Left doesn’t give one shit about the invaders except as to what they add to the pot.  They add stolen and coerced and fake ballots.  They add stolen tax dollars laundered back and smurfed to the DFL.

    If the money and the fake votes can’t be had, the invaders are of no use.

    ALL of the tantrum is about the loss of the loot and ballots. Without them, the Left cannot win Minnesota.

    On my part, I’m seeing more and more conservatives run for the exits due to what Trump is doing. Certain things are welcome–a greater emphasis on border security is one. But the thuggish tactics he’s encouraging ICE to use are going to leave a mark on the GOP.
