Flame‑throwing by political factions is on full display, from the LA riots to Democrats openly threatening the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s 2024 landslide win.
Voters handed Trump a clear mandate—and yet, history’s messy undertones are back.
In 1860, the Democratic Party fought to preserve slavery—not out of principle, but to protect their cheap labor machine. Southern Democrats like James H. Hammond famously defended this as the way societies needed a “mudsill,” a lower class forced to perform menial work so the upper classes could thrive. After emancipation, sharecropping and Jim Crow laws stepped into slavery’s shoes, so the cheap‑labor structure stayed intact. Fast forward to today…
Democrats fiercely oppose deportations of undocumented workers—not simply over rights, but over preserving a modern “cheap labor” cohort. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) admitted illegal immigrants do work where college grads won’t—such as picking crops and cleaning hotel rooms. Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT) put it crudely: without migrant labor, “we’re not going to have anyone around to wipe our asses.”
A party that once fought a war to keep slave labor now resists ending illegal immigration—partly because they’d lose an essential labor base. They’re fanning flames over deportations, fueling protests in a bid to resist enforcement. LA’s anti‑ICE riots aren’t outliers—they are longstanding tactics of leaders looking to block federal authority under Trump.
Democrats are framing deportations as existential threats, even as Trump enforces election mandates. Strike a chord with Breitbart contributor and Author John Nolte points out how modern progressives are weaponizing social unrest—riot, rebellion, disruption—to dismantle political installations they don’t like. In Nolte’s telling, protest becomes the art of insurrection, repeating the past’s ugly playbook.
Violence is being given a political proxy. Now we see federal borders as the flashpoint, and elected Democrats sign up for the show: “Don’t deport this,” “We need labor,” “We’ll protest if you try.” This is no accident. It’s calculated. They and the socialist, progressive organizations they support are planning such protests across the nation.
Trump won an overwhelming mandate in 2024. Yet Democrats, echoing their Civil War-era predecessors, are mobilizing forces to resist the law through protest, social pressure, and violent rhetoric.
When mobs become political tools, the rule of law loses.
History warns us: human labor at the expense of justice always leads to oppression and tyranny—whether under slavery, Jim Crow, or the riots of today.
The line between protest and insurrection is dangerously blurred.
Isaiah 59:13-14, says in speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood, “Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” This is what happens when leaders protect systems of exploitation.
May God have mercy on us. May we stand for what’s right.
