Nah, that couldn’t happen in the US …

Some called it a conspiracy:

Labour wanted mass immigration to make UK more multicultural, says former adviser

Labour threw open Britain’s borders to mass immigration to help socially engineer a “truly multicultural” country, a former Government adviser has revealed.

The huge increases in migrants over the last decade were partly due to a politically motivated attempt by ministers to radically change the country and “rub the Right’s nose in diversity”, according to Andrew Neather, a former adviser to Tony Blair, Jack Straw and David Blunkett.

He said Labour’s relaxation of controls was a deliberate plan to “open up the UK to mass migration” but that ministers were nervous and reluctant to discuss such a move publicly for fear it would alienate its “core working class vote”.

As a result, the public argument for immigration concentrated instead on the economic benefits and need for more migrants.

Critics said the revelations showed a “conspiracy” within Government to impose mass immigration for “cynical” political reasons.

They used to be the most pro-canine people in the world, even beyond us.

Holy Chicago deep-dish pizza! It’s that Pritzker critter again… (or should that be “Pritzker kidder”?)…

For some reason, the Democrats are arguing that they have never called President Trump a Nazi or a racist….

Meanwhile, even the Bears can’t bear it any longer (though to be fair to hizzonerless, “Biden” WOULD have found him the money…from somewhere…to build a spanking new stadium…and maybe just maybe “Biden” will get that opportunity in 2029!!)

They are “nice” people, Shirley.

We keep electing them too, for some reason. I mean, these are not puppet governments imposed on us by foreign conquerors, neither are they hereditary aristocrats or a military junta. Douglas Adams’ parable of the lizard people comes to mind.

As long as I can remember, the people of my state elect legislators who then do stuff we don’t like and don’t do things we do like. So we pass initiatives and referenda to get rid of the stuff we don’t like and force them to do stuff we do like. Then we re-elect the legislators, that then undo what we did like and do more stuff we don’t like, and the cycle repeats.

As for Congress, everyone seems to like their own Congressmen and Senators and think that all the others are somehow to blame.

“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see…”

“You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?”

“No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”

“Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”

“I did,” said Ford. “It is.”

“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?”

“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”

“You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”

“Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”

“But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”

“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?”

It will not end well. These governments are spiteful and contemptuous of their citizens/subjects, and the U.S. really isn’t that far behind.
