I think many of you are fearing one thing (Dems trying to take total control) while completely ignoring the much more realistic one - they are desperately trying to set up some kind of relevancy for the future (which is also why Immigration is so important to them)
Look at the political map as it stands. Now look at trends and polls in the Mid-West.
Dems are on the verge of losing control of the Mid-West/Lake States just like they lost the South in the 90s. They know this is going to happen, and when it does, it might be 20+ years before they can take the House or Senate again (hence Immigration needed to try and retake some ground in the South in their minds - they don’t want to be on the losing side of the coin like Republicans were for so long leading up till the 90s)
These are not the first shots of a communist regime, these are the final shots of a Libral one.
The dream is almost over for them. Everywhere you look Liberalism is failing, Governments are collapsing or turning power over to the private market, and Liberal ideas are being pushed out of the majority of the country to the point where they will only have a stronghold on the two coasts.
This is to try and get enough judges stacked in to at least keep Liberalism alive in the courts while it disappears otherwise (Dems might still get the Presidency from time to time, but Congress is likely a pipe-dream in the future)
“...but Congress is likely a pipe-dream in the future).”
The House, yes; the Senate, I’m not so sure. There have been two special elections to the Senate recently and two left wing Democrats were elected, Markey in Massachusetts and Booker in New Jersey. Blue states are still blue.
