For the Left, Power Isn’t a Tool, It’s the Goal

 The author reflects on their childhood memory of an Irish Setter chasing a UPS truck and connects it to their observations of the Democrat party's extreme leftward shift. The key question posed is about the true nature of power and its implications.

1. Chasing Power: The analogy of a dog chasing a truck suggests confusion about the Left's goals. A meme reveals that power itself is seen as the ultimate goal, not a means to achieve something.

2. Critique of the Left: The author expresses skepticism about the Left's intentions, emphasizing that their focus is on acquiring and maintaining power. Congressman Shri Thanedar’s impeachment articles against Trump are cited as an example of this obsession with power.

3. Claims Against Trump: The allegations that Trump violated the justice system and placed personal interests above public service are countered by pointing out that legal determinations have not proven him guilty of any wrongdoing.

4. Contrasting Wealth Accumulation: The author notes the wealth disparity between politicians and average citizens. Many Congress members entered as poor individuals but became millionaires during their time in office, possibly through insider trading and nepotism.

5. Political Ambitions: Figures like Senator Chuck Schumer and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are portrayed as ruthlessly ambitious, focusing on maintaining or gaining power rather than serving the public's interests.

6. Legislative Priorities: The author argues most congress members, particularly Democrats, do not work for the benefit of the citizens, with only a few exceptions like MTG, Jim Jordan, and Ron Johnson being highlighted.

7. Consequences of Power Seizure: The article details three main actions taken by the Left: enriching themselves at the public's expense, manipulating voter rolls, and benefitting from illegal immigration for electoral gains.

8. Electoral Manipulation: The author cites fraudulent voting practices observed in states like New York, claiming they disproportionately favor Democrats and suggesting a broader pattern across several states.

9. Census Manipulation: The impact of including non-citizens in the census is discussed as a tactic to gain additional congressional seats for Democrats while depriving Republican-leaning states of representation.

10. Effects of Policies: The author emphasizes that the Left's overarching goal of maintaining power often disregards the negative consequences on society, creating burdens that law-abiding citizens will eventually bear.

The text concludes by asserting that the Left’s pursuit of power remains paramount, with little regard for the repercussions their actions have on the public. The assertion is made that this focus on power ultimately harms society, while those in power remain insulated from the consequences of their decisions.
