Republicans Demand Ilhan Omar Resign Over ‘Somalian First’ Speech
DeSantis: “Expel from Congress, denaturalize and deport!”
Republicans have started demanding the resignation of Squad member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) after a speech surfaced of her putting American interests third behind Somalia and Muslims.
Omar was born in Somalia and represents a district with many Somalis.
Omar’s Speech
CONTEXT: “Omar’s speech concerned an ongoing dispute between Somalia and Ethiopia over Somaliland, an area that claims its independence as an otherwise unrecognized state but that Somalia claims as its own. Somaliland recently struck a deal with Ethiopia for sea access via Somaliland’s coastline along the Gulf of Aden, which Somalia says infringes on its territory.”
I will provide the transcript below. The part that caught everyone’s ears was: “We are an organized society, brothers and sisters. People of the same blood. People who know they are Somalians first, Muslims second.”
That last part, lady. I don’t think my Italian great-grandparents ever spoke like this because they came to America to prosper and grow.
We were profoundly surprised, even shocked on discovering the remarks made by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D) of Minnesota in a recent public forum, widely circulated on most social media platforms and attached below for your reference.

No mention of America or being Americans. Even though it was a speech about Somalia and its interests, you would think a person would mention America, especially since she brought up her position in the government. Plus, we know that the government is involved in Somalia.
Even if the government wasn’t, we would be eventually because that’s what we do:
OMAR: “My answer to Somalians was, that the U.S. government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do! They will do what we want and nothing else. They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interest of Somalia. We Somalians must have the confidence in ourselves that we call the shots in the U.S.. We live in the U.S., pay taxes in the U.S. and have a real voice.”
Resign and Deport
Republicans want to deport Omar.

Ilhan Omar’s appalling, Somalia-first comments are a slap in the face to the Minnesotans she was elected to serve and a direct violation of her oath of office. She should resign in disgrace.https://t.co/O3lAEGlokt

Terrorist sympathizer Ilhan Omar in her own words: Somalian first. Muslim second. She never mentions America.
She flaunts using her position as congresswoman to protect Somalia’s border while our border is invaded by MILLIONS of illegals who are a danger to America.

“Republicans Demand Ilhan Omar Resign Over ‘Somalian First’ Speech”
Democrats laugh hysterically
I don’t know why we tolerate people who hate the country as obviously as this woman does. But for some reason it seems fashionable. Even worse that we give that woman a job where she is overpaid to do practically nothing as a quote unquote public servant
Somalians have an average IQ of 68, there is no excuse for bringing a group that slow to America. The reason Omar is so arrogant is Islam, which teaches that Muslims are entitled to rule. Also, Somalians butcher their females gentiles, the most extreme form of such multiplications.
I never thought of Muslims as gentiles, but you are probably technically correct.
Funny, I probably should proof read before posting, I have carpel tunnel problems which is part of the problem and the auto correct fixes the results. That post had two substitutions which make me cringe after posting. It would be nice if we had edit.
I thought you were being glib with the 68 IQ so I was very surprised when I looked it up and found it true.
Because the ones who voted her in feel the same way as her. This is what happens when you import too many people who have no allegiance to this country other than a place to live comfortably.
I would think it rather easy to populate a congregational district with enough like minded foreigners to have significant effects on any political race. It doesn’t seem to bother some municipalities that non-citizens are voting in their elections for either local, State or federal elections. Also, because this is considered politics, the courts have shied away from arguments that these elections interfere with other State’s rights, hence, we get to fully experience Minneapolis’ chosen representative and will have to wait for them to elect someone else.
Nothing is going to happen to her, of course.
She SHOULD be forced to resign and, more importantly, she should be deported.
(And she should take her bros-band with her.)
Whatever happened to tax fraud, immigration fraud issues???
Maybe they could impeach her. You know, that seems to be the popular thing to do these days. IMPEACH OMAR!! IMPEACH OMAR!! Don’t give her a chance to resign. IMPEACH OMAR! IMPEACH OMAR! She doesn’t deserve to be call an. American. IMPEACH OMAR! IMPEACH OMAR!
Come on, if they started kicking out democrats guilty of some form of fraud, where would it end? We could be at this for a few years. And it’s only immigration fraud and an allegation she married her brother. It’s not like her son was the bagman for Chinese bribes.
It could potentially end in incarceration in a desert compound with lots of razor wire 🙂
Arpaio is retired, haven’t you heard?
Another good guy persecuted for doing the right things.
Damn straight.
Of course, that’s what should have been done with every ungrateful Somali when they started all that “I won’t take dogs in my taxi” or “I won’t ring up customers buying alcohol” junk. How many people remember that? But they were allowed to make a mockery of American kindness (to a REAL fault) and benevolence and nothing ever happened to any of them. We didn’t even stop importing them here, which there was never any reason for whatsoever, to say the least.
It’s going to take a national divorce before any of this stuff stars getting fixed. America just has too large a percentage of the population who HATE this country (and they hate humanity, too) and are deranged lunatics. They cannot be fixed, only separated from.
I’m waiting for Milhouse to show up and explain why she can’t be “de-naturalized.”
I suppose with a modest quantity of methanol, she could be denatured.
That’s right, she can’t be. She obtained her naturalization legitimately, so she is now a citizen by right, and the constitution says it can’t be taken away without her consent. And without that she can’t be deported.
Yes, she can. There are a few ways to do it such as lying on the original immigration forms or even refusing to testify before a congressional committee under some circumstances.
Whether being a clown who hates America is a valid reason is debatable
No, she cannot. US citizenship cannot be taken away involuntarily, ever, no matter what.
You can discover that someone who was thought to be a citizen was in fact not one, e.g. they were born just over the border in Canada. There was a case just recently where a woman was born in the USA, but her father was a foreign diplomat who had just been fired, and the courts had to decide whether that meant that at the time she was born he no longer had immunity, making her a citizen. The government argued, and the courts agreed, that until his immunity was formally removed he still had diplomatic status under US law, no matter what his home government thought, so she was never a citizen and could be deported. But that does not mean her citizenship was revoked, it means she never had it in the first place.
There are no circumstances under which a US citizen can lose it for refusing to testify before a congressional committee. Or for anything else. Once you have it you can only lose it by voluntary renunciation.
Where there is will, there is a way. Look at the fate of J6 people, they found a way to persecute them and we can find a way to get rid of undesirables.
Furthermore, both birthright citizenship and provisions for conditional Naturalization, which can be nullified, must be addressed.
It would take a constitutional amendment, which means you must get 2/3 of each house of congress, and then both houses of 38 state legislatures. That’s impossible to do without a bipartisan consensus, and difficult even with one.
Sounds like she’d be happier living in somalia. When does she move back??
Notice her dress; super Somalian and muslim. She should really go visit Somalialand, she can go on all the rides because she is this tall (but only with her wighat on). She could go on the convert or die you infidel, bumper cars or the will I be stoned today roller coaster (not stoned in the good way). Or my favorite, the bungee jump from the helicopter, but there’s no bungee.
When will she be thrown out of congress?
Kick her out and bring George Santos back.
I mean really. If Johnson had had any balls he would have NEVER brought that vote to the floor..again!
What an idiot
Gnashing of teeth and cries of RAYCISS!!! ensue in 3….2….1…..
I’m wondering if this was even reported in the Minnesota media. I doubt it very much.
Maybe our country would be better off if we didn’t let people who had sex with their brother into political office.
Just a thought.
Hold on there, the allegations are only immigration fraud related to a fake marriage to her brother, You make her sound like a bad person.
She’s a leftist, that she’s a bad person is a given
You must be talking about the Bible belt, eh?
I thought he was taking aim at the Biden cabinet.
Biden family.
There is no indication that she ever had sex with her brother. Their “marriage” existed only on paper. The entire time that she was “married” to him she was living with her real husband, the father of her children, presenting herself to society as his wife, and filing joint tax returns with him. And as soon as she “divorced” her brother she “remarried” her real husband. (Whom she has since dumped and taken up with an infidel boyfriend.)
But she married him, and that is bigamy.
Not to mention that this would be immigration fraud which is itself grounds for deportation. Arguably so would her comments in the article. Anyone going through the naturalization process is required to tell the truth in answer to all the questions. If it can be shown that someone lied during the process they can be stripped of their Citizenship and deported. I would submit that someone openly declaring in public that they are Somali first as opposed to simply a US Citizen of Somali background indicates their priorities re Somali v US Citizenship.
First of all, we have no evidence that the fake marriage was for the purpose of immigration fraud. It makes sense, but I’m not aware of any actual evidence for it, and I doubt you are either. You’re just making a reasonable guess.
But more importantly, immigration fraud is not grounds for deporting a US citizen. There aren’t any grounds for deporting a US citizen. And it certainly isn’t grounds for casting doubt on the validity of her naturalization.
Nor does her speech (assuming the translation is correct) give any grounds for doubting the validity of her naturalization. There is nothing to indicate that she told any lies when she applied for naturalization. Therefore she is a US citizen, for as long as she wants to be, and can’t be deported.
Milhouse,
You are incorrect about fraud in the immigration and naturalization process NOT being grounds revoke a naturalization and subsequently deporting them.
The statutes are very clear on this point. If a person obtains a favorable naturalization decision via false information they can have that revoked and be deported. Obviously there would need to be evidence of this but it isn’t impossible. It is unusual though. No more than 10 per year on average.
A native born US Citizen can’t have their Citizenship revoked that much is true. A naturalized Citizen under certain circumstances absolutely can have that naturalization decision overturned and be deported.
If you are arguing that Maslenjak from (I think) the ’17 SCOTUS term categorically prohibits denaturalization and subsequent deportation you are misreading the scope of the decision. SCOTUS ruled that minor errors or lies on the forms that ‘would not have any bearing upon the decision to approve’ the application couldn’t be the basis. Clearly that means errors and lies that WOULD impact an approval decision CAN be the basis for denaturalization and deportation.
CommoChief, now you are dishonestly changing the subject.
You claimed that immigration fraud is grounds for deportation. Therefore, you claimed, since she (probably) did that, she can be deported. That is absolutely, 100% wrong. Immigration fraud is not, ever grounds for deportation. There are no statutes saying it is, and if there were any they would be unconstitutional.
Now you’re saying something completely different: that a naturalization obtained fraudulently is invalid. That’s obvious. Such a person was never a citizen in the first place, exactly as if they’d been “naturalized” by someone pretending to be an official with the authority to do so, but who turns out to have been just a random nutcase or charlatan.
(Calling this “denaturalization” is misleading, because there never was a naturalization. If someone purporting to be a doctor turns out never to have graduated med school or been licensed, you don’t say his license has been revoked! He never had one, so how can it be revoked? A fake lawyer is not disbarred, nor a fake priest defrocked, because they were never barred or frocked in the first place. So how can an alien who was posing as a citizen be “denaturalized”?)
But there is no allegation that there was any fraud in Omar’s naturalization. Literally nobody is suggesting it, because there are no grounds for such a supposition. Her immigration fraud (if that is indeed what it was) is therefore completely irrelevant. If it is proven, and the statute of limitations hasn’t run on it, then she can be criminally punished for it; but she can’t lose her citizenship over it.
Milhouse,
One thing I ain’t is dishonest so slow your roll on the ad hominem attacks.
You do understand that committing an immigration violation by coming illegally or having a fake marriage solely for the purpose of gaining US Citizenship is the easiest way to have a naturalization application rejected?
An applicant who makes false statements to obtain a favorable decision on their application for naturalization may have that decision overturned aka denaturalization and be deported. If the lie would have resulted in this it would almost certainly have precluded a favorable decision for a lawful immigration.
It’s not up to me provide clear and convincing evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. That’s the job of the Fed gov’t to do after they conduct a thorough investigation of the allegations and the public evidence which seems to show a religious but not civil marriage to her actual Husband overlapping a sketchy legal marriage to her Brother.
Finally you seem to arguing that Naturalization and Immigration are entirely distinct. I happen to agree. The Constitution grants the Fed Govt sole power over Naturalization but does NOT explicitly make the same grant for Immigration. However our current legal regime links the two together as I do in making my points.
Chief, what you did was dishonest. You were defending your claim that immigration fraud is grounds for deportation, and you suddenly switched to claiming merely that if your naturalization was obtained fraudulently then it can be “revoked” and the person deported. That’s a completely different claim, and switching to it was dishonest. There’s no other word to call it.
As I have explained repeatedly, a fraudulently obtained naturalization is obviously invalid; it doesn’t need to be revoked, because there is nothing to revoke. And obviously the imposter, who has now been exposed as having been an alien all along, can be deported.
But that has no possible relevance here, because, as I have also pointed out to you several times already, there is no suggestion of any irregularity whatsoever in Omar’s naturalization. Nobody is even alleging it. Her naturalization was, as far as anyone knows, completely valid. Thus, even if her sham marriage to her brother was for the purpose of immigration fraud (which is merely a reasonable guess), it can’t possibly lead to her citizenship being revoked, or to her deportation.
There’s nothing special about immigration fraud; it’s no different from robbing a bank. If a validly — and I repeat validly — naturalized US citizen robs a bank, that does not affect their citizenship and they can’t be deported. And the same applies if they commit immigration fraud. They can go to prison for it, but they can’t lose their citizenship.
This is a fundamental and very simple distinction, and I don’t understand how you are missing it.
No, it isn’t bigamy because she “divorced” her real husband first, so on paper she was only married to one person at a time.
In any case, that is not the topic. We are discussing jhkrischel’s scurrilous and defamatory accusation that she had sex with her brother. Even if she had committed bigamy that would not justify such an accusation, so why are you defending it? And how are you defending it? You haven’t said anything to defend it, you just threw a red herring and tried to change the topic. That’s dishonest.
The topic is how do we get rid of Omar and others who operate in a similar manner. I have no doubt that this can be accomplished, Like many attorneys, you suffer from legal tunnel vision. I used to spend hours with one or more attorneys where I spelled out what I wanted to accomplish, and then would float many ways that I thought might work. Thye would shoot down various approaches and I used that to fine tune a way to do in an adversary. Most of the time I was successful. One needs to think outside the box.
It cannot be accomplished without a constitutional amendment. Which means it can’t be accomplished at all.
Well golly gee whiz Mr. Milhouse, that sounds like a violation of the law. But hey, at least she wasn’t getting boned by her brother.
Of course it was a violation of the law. Who ever denied that? But so fucking what? How is it relevant that she broke a law? You don’t like it, prosecute her. How does that help you deport her? She’s still a US citizen, no matter how many crimes she committed. And it’s still a filthy lie to accuse her of incest.
Wrong. A naturalized citizen can have it revoked and be deported. Look it up
No, they cannot. You look it up. The constitution treats citizens by birth and by naturalization exactly the same; in both cases it defines them as citizens, which means it can never be lost involuntarily. The Supreme Court has been very clear about that.
Do not confuse this with cases where a person is discovered never to have been a citizen. That can happen with birth or with naturalization. A supposed naturalization can turn out to have been invalid, but so can a birth in the USA, e.g. it’s discovered that the birth location is actually a foot over the border, or (as actually happened in a recent case) that the person’s parents had diplomatic immunity at the time of her birth. That doesn’t mean her birth in the USA was “revoked”, or that she was “deborn”! It just means her claim to be a citizen turns out to have always been false.
Actually, incest & hypocrisy is common among Muslims.
Give me one legitimate reason why she would be married to her brother, on paper or otherwise.
There was an entire investigation on this reported in depth over at Power line. She married her brother to commit immigration fraud and there is strong evidence Omar might not even be her actual name.
That the reason was to commit immigration fraud is merely a supposition. It’s a very reasonable supposition, but there’s no evidence for it. I can’t think of any other motive she may have had, but I can’t rule out that there might have been one.
In any case, the fact is that she claimed to have divorced her husband to marry someone else, and later divorced him to remarry her real husband, while all that time she was actually living with her real husband, presenting herself to society as his wife, and filing joint tax returns with him. So her marriage to the other person was a sham. And there is strong evidence that that other person was in fact her brother.
Omar is certainly her real name now. But there is strong evidence that it was not the name she had at birth.
But none of this has any bearing on her citizenship status. She was properly naturalized, there is no indication of any significant flaw in her naturalization, so she’s a US citizen.
I have been to a LOT of shitholes on this planet. But, no place has a higher shithole rating rating than Somalia. It’s a solid nine. For some reference, wholly dysfunctional Haiti is only a 7 on the shithole meter. She knows it’s a shithole. I know this because she’s not living there. She’s living here. How does she repay the kindness and generosity to the country that gave her a refuge from Somalia? By incessantly criticizing this country, its PEOPLE and pledging fidelity and allegiance to her homeland…Somolia.
Send her back. I would recommend we deliver her to her motherland using LAPES.
I understand that Somaliland is a lot better. And that is why its people do not want to be re-annexed to Somalia. Hence this video.
What most are overlooking is that the people who elected her feel the same way! Somalis hate this country and have not assimilated at all. There was a video out a few years ago from an independent reporter who interviewed many Somalis in MN and asked them what they thought of their new home. Almost to a man/woman they hated it and wanted to go home or convert America to sharia law. This is the scum we have brought into our home. Think how many more that feel like them that are pouring over our southern border now! How many Muslims are in that group? They will do what they are told by their Imam and never consider the consequences.
We never would have had trash like this in the first place. Were it not for Hart Celler.
I see you rearranging your prejudices?
Thank Ted The Swimmer Kennedy
So, did anybody keep the list of the ones who wanted to go back home?
Republicans so often entirely overlook the two-inch putts.
It’s easy to “demand” something when you know there will be no consequences. I’m glad the comments came to light and she was exposed further for the terrible congresswoman she is , but realistically she will face no consequences. I suppose maybe if enough likes up on her maybe it will tip the scales but it seems like she is weak protected by her untouchable BIOPIC status.
Ain’t nuthin’ gonna happen.
Pursing your sentence algebraically, something will happen.
/ducking
Nothing will happen
Probably win election by a wider margin
Dear autocorrect – it’s never ducking.
Big Ron, the Fascist Book Banner only likes “freedom of speech when it feels good to him! Under Eisenhower in 1953the U.S.>U.K sponsored by the CIA overthrew the Democratic country of Iran and replaced, democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh and replaced him with the Shah! Iran is not the problem, It’s the U.S. that is the greatest threat to world peace and threat to Americans! A two front war is front and center and the U.S. started every inch of it.
“Statism needs war;a free country does not. Statism survives by looting; a free country survives by production.”
The American people are being looted to support the Military industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about in the fifties. Wake up!
nonconformistsince1970?
Wow man, good weed!
Like a herpetic chancre, the Clinton legacy has flared up again.
She won’t, so what are you going to do about it?
How about you START with removing her from all committees, then actually expel her.
Or is that only reserved for Republicans that Kevin McCarthy doesn’t like?
There is a reason that Somalians and Palestinians are 1 and 2 on the list of all Muslim countries of foreign nationalities/fellow Muslims to NOT allow into their country for any reason…they know them..,what they hold to and what they do when allowed in
With all the things to attack Comrade Omar for, this speech, while stupid, is far from the worst thing she’s done.
Get her for her lying about her marriage to her brother. Get her for her genocidal Jew-hatred and support of Islamonazi terrorism. Get her for her corruption. She has probably done even other things that rise to the level of impeachment.
This speech was stupid, but she’s done and said worse.
The fake marriage to her brother was before the current congressional term. It was actually before she was ever elected. So according to Congress’s long-standing (well over a century) understanding of its expulsion power, she cannot be expelled for it.
Nope again. Boy have you been wrong in this thread.
On the contrary, I’ve been 100% right in this thread, and you have been wrong.
Islam permits nothing before it. Nothing. Placing Somalia ahead of Islam is a hilarious bit of apostasy.
Meanwhile, Ethiopian immigrants to this country apparently get no say in how our government deals with Ethiopia and Somaliland. Right.
Ilhan Omar is truly disgusting. The district she represents is not majority Somali. I’d naively thought it was majority black, but apparently it isn’t. So how has she gotten reelected?
White guilt and Democrat chicanery.
gop needs to focus on her troops and blm fighting each other non stop for a long time now in the schools and streets of mn where the msm hides this info from the public
If putting America first is the requirements to remain in Congress then most of them need to leave. What is the difference between a Republican putting donors first and Omar putting Somalia first? Both would sell out America for their own interests.
The difference is she was stupid enough to say it where everybody heard it.
Before everyone goes of half-coked, two points:
Has the translation been verified? I don’t speak Somali, and I doubt anyone else here does. The translation in the captions is coming from an avowed enemy of Omar, the foreign minister of a country she wants to see crushed. And it’s interlaced with hostile editorial comments. So how can anyone be confident that it accurately reflects what she said? I would treat this with a huge dose of skepticism.
2. Even if it’s accurate, and two thirds of the House thought it enough to justify expelling her, she can’t be denaturalized or deported. The Supreme Court has been very very clear for decades that US citizenship, once validly obtained, whether by birth or by naturalization, cannot be lost involuntarily. In Omar’s case nobody is even alleging that her naturalization was invalid, so she’s a citizen until and unless she voluntarily renounces it.
Congress tried passing a law back in the 1930s or so, listing several “expatriating acts”, such as becoming a foreign citizen, serving in a foreign army, etc., that would cause someone to lose their citizenship; the Supreme Court said nothing doing. Congress can’t do that.
2a. Even if two thirds of the House were to expel her, she’s likely to win the election to replace her, and then it can’t expel her again for the same offense. (Or at least that is how Congress has understood its expulsion power for well over a century. The Supreme Court has taken official notice of this position, while carefully not endorsing it.)
DEPORT THE TRAITOR!!
Libs of TikTok
@libsoftiktok
Ilhan Omar says she has a very special and close relationship with the President of Somalia. She calls him her “uncle” and he calls her his “girl.”
She also refers to him as “our president” while the entire audience in Minnesota cheers.
https://x.com/libsoftiktok/status/1752387526306787745?s=20
She is a US citizen so she can’t be deported, no matter what she says or does.
Are telling us that no naturalized US Citizen has ever been subject to a denaturalization proceeding and then deported?
That’s right. No validly naturalized citizen has had that happen to them. There have been many people who have falsely claimed to be US citizens, whether by birth or by naturalization, whose fraud has been exposed and have been deported. (Or occasionally not fraud. The recent case with the former diplomat’s daughter seems to have been an honest mistake. It doesn’t matter; the courts found that her father still had his diplomatic status when she was born, so she was never a citizen and could be deported.)
No kidding. No one who didn’t lie on their naturalization application can have their favorable naturalization decision overturned.
That wasn’t the question. The question was has any Naturalized Citizen been denaturalized and deported. The answer as you well know is YES.
This particular response to my question undercuts the entire thrust of your argument earlier where you accuse me of dishonesty for making the same distinction you make re fraudulent applications.
No, Chief, that was the question. Because you are claiming that Omar, the validity of whose naturalization is not in question, can nevertheless be “denaturalized” and deported simply because she committed immigration fraud (if she did, which I agree is likely). And that is just absolutely wrong. Once someone is validly a citizen, as nobody questions that Omar is, the fourteenth amendment defines that person as a citizen, and therefore it cannot be revoked.
There is no such thing as “denaturalization”. The term is a misnomer; like “actual malice”, it’s a term of art that does not mean anything like what it sounds like in plain English. Naturalization can’t be reversed; but if someone who’s been passing himself off as a citizen turns out not to be one, whether because his naturalization was invalid, or because he weren’t really born in the united states and under their jurisdiction, then he is now exposed as always having been an alien and there is nothing to revoke. If he had been claiming to be a citizen by birth, would you say he is now to be “deborn”?! Of course not. So if he had been claiming to have been naturalized, and that’s now exposed as not having happened, how can he be “denaturalized”?
If it walks like a duck….
End Wokeness
@EndWokeness
Remember when they called us crazy for saying that the proposed Minnesota flag looked like Ilhan Omar’s home region?
Well on Saturday, Ilhan Omar spoke to a crowd of Somalians who waved that flag while she pledged allegiance to Somalia
Tell me if you see the resemblance
https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1751864921208295639?
That theory is crazy. The flag they were flying is not the new MN state flag. It is crazy to suppose that the design of the new flag was influenced in any way by the Somali flag, let alone by the flag of a Somali state. Or that Omar played any role in the design process.
Also, Omar was born in Mogadishu, not in Puntland.
Omar is a foul turd on the sole of America’s shoe.
Fascist USA
A common held belief in the US is that the Republican Party is the political entity representing the American right while the Democratic Party supposedly exists to advance the interests of the left or working class of the country. This is a complete falsehood, as any person remotely informed on US politics should immediately recognize that both parties are owned and controlled by the same corporate or big business interests. Which is why the American mass media machine— controlled by such interests-
works tirelessly to ensure that
most people are unaware of this. What’s actually happened in the Neoliberal era (the last 50-60 years) is that both political parties have dramatically shifted to the right. Democrats today are essentially what used to be called moderate Republicans.
By this point the Republican Party has drifted completely off the political spectrum. They’re not a parliamentary party anymore and this has actually been recognized by not only non-conservatives but even respected political analysts like Norman Ornstein who are centrists or right leaning. The Republican Party today can best be described as a radical insurgency that has abandoned parliamentary politics. Ever since Obama was elected, it’s become explicit that Mitch McConnell and the Republican establishment have only one policy: destroy the country as much as possible, hope that people will blame the Democrats, and then they can get power to advance their agenda of utter servility to the needs of the very wealthy and corporate sector. Of course in order to gain votes and get elected they can’t openly say this. So what the Republican Party has done is work to mobilize sectors of the population that have always existed but were mostly politically passive.
Examples being evangelical Christians, previously apolitical white nationalists and other nativists who fear things like the government supposedly coming to take their guns, that their Anglo-Saxon country is being overrun by nonwhite populations, etc. These racist and radical sectors of the country are there and are the kind of people who now form the basis of the Republican Party.
Wow. Do you ever listen to yourself?
