When intrepid young journalist Nick Shirley made his way to Minneapolis’s now notorious “Quality Learing Center,” he found not just a local scam, but also a too perfect metaphor for today’s Democratic Party. Operating behind the false front of a legitimate political party, Democrats have fashioned nothing more than a money laundering operation that exploits the anxieties of its base to empower and enrich its friends and allies.

Although the seeds were planted long ago, those seeds have borne their dark fruit thanks to at least three helpful federal interventions and a major shift in newsroom zeitgeist. Exploiting migrants, it should be noted, has always been at the heart of the growth strategy. Democrats have held a near monopoly on urban vote fraud since at least the mid-nineteenth century when Boss Tweed’s Tammany Hall mastered the art of picking winners.

The face of the Democratic Party has hardly changed from the days of Boss Tweed

 

A local scam in Minneapolis is being cast as something bigger: a flashing warning about the Democrats’ urban machine politics, where the fight for votes, money, and power has long blurred into the same ugly business. From Boss Tweed’s Tammany Hall to New Deal-era patronage and today’s immigration-fueled politics, the pattern is presented as the same old game with higher stakes — exploiting fear, harvesting votes, and feeding allies while the system looks the other way.
