Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, Republican nominee for vice president, described the interwoven interests of corporations and the Democrats advocating for open borders at the expense of the American people, calling it “fundamentally the end of American democracy.”

Vance joined the “Joe Rogan Experience” for a three-hour interview released Thursday, where he said the motivation behind the Biden-Harris administration allowing millions of illegals to pour across the southern border is twofold: An electoral power play and kowtowing to corporate interests looking to swindle American workers.

“I do think there’s also a power dynamic to it. In particular, I think Kamala Harris and the Democrats, they want to give these millions upon millions of illegal aliens the right to vote,” Vance explained. “They want to legalize them. They want to make it easier for them to participate in our elections. And that means, fundamentally, the end of American democracy, because you’re talking about 25 million people here.”

Vance went on to explain that even if some of the illegals are allowed to vote, the scales would tip so far in Democrats’ favor that Republicans would not win another national election for decades.

“It will have degraded the voting power of the people who have the legal right to be here,” he said, adding that President Ronald Reagan’s 1986 amnesty to illegals is the reason why California has become a “one party state.”

“I’m a conservative Republican. But Reagan screwed up a lot,” he explained. “The amnesty thing he really screwed up. …

The Biden-Harris administration and Democrat litigators appear to be jointly executing a lawfare assault against the integrity of our elections. In the face of this onslaught, will Americans’ voting rights be sustained?

If an Oct. 30 ruling is any indication, it appears the Supreme Court at least may be willing to step into the breach in defense of our republic — a hopeful harbinger amid an expected flurry of 2024 election-related litigation. 

In a 6-3 ruling, with the court’s three most leftist justices dissenting, the court issued an order striking down a preliminary injunction backed by the Biden-Harris Justice Department thereby protecting Virginia’s effort to remove more than 1,500 self-identified noncitizens from the voter rolls. In so doing, the court delivered a shot across the bow of a DOJ in effect laboring to protect the non-rights of non-Americans to interfere in our elections and the federal judges who had validated the administration’s efforts.

At issue in the case is the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) and its regulations for removing voters from the rolls, about which lower courts have issued conflicting opinions.

Colloquially known as the “Motor Voter Act,” the bill aimed to increase the number of “eligible citizens” who register to vote in federal elections, while “protect[ing] the integrity of the electoral process” and “ensur[ing] that accurate and current voter registration rolls are maintained.”

Section 7 of the NVRA lays out requirements for cleaning the voter rolls. It stipulates that authorities may remove registrants from eligible voter

In a long thread on his many discussions over the last year with Trump and Harris supporters, a Daily Wire editor drops this contrast down in the middle:

I live in a deep-blue zone, and I have these vibes-and-racism conversations several times a week. I learned today, face-to-face, that Donald Trump hates everyone who isn’t white. I mean, he despises them. All of them. These conversations go like this:

A: Trump is SUCH a f-cking racist, man. He hates everyone who isn’t white. How can you even support someone like that?

B: Why is he racist?

A: Are you being serious right now? C’mon, man!

B: No, but why is he racist?

A: I can’t believe you’re defending him!

B: OK, look: Donald Trump has already been the president for four years. What would you say were the top three racist policies he implemented?

A: You know what, I’m done with this discussion.

B: I’d settle for one really good one. What big racist policy did he implement?

A: I can’t even talk to you about this stuff — you’re so irrational!

Over and over and over and over again, these conversations hit the “I can’t even talk to you about this stuff” moment, the hard shutdown.

What evidence can you offer for that view? [cognitive program shuts down]

Certain trigger terms warn you that the shutdown is moments away: “conspiracy theory,” “disinformation,” “what are you even talking about?” This personal observation about social interaction applies equally well to CNN panel discussions, by the way.
