What Republicans don't understand about how Biden really wins elections
[FoxNews] In the aftermath of another disappointing election night for Republicans, questions need to be asked about supposedly non-partisan get-out-the-vote (GOTV) operations Democrats are using to ensure their low-propensity voters — and only their low-propensity voters — get to the polls.

On March 7, 2021, Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting, President Biden instructed every federal agency to submit a plan to leverage their agency’s personnel and assets to help turn out the vote. For example, agencies might use internal data to identify aid recipients who are not registered to vote, then use agency personnel to get them registered and ensure their ballot is cast and counted.

Anyone who criticizes GOTV efforts gets accused of wanting to suppress voting. But it’s not voting to which we should object — it’s the exclusive collection of ballots from Democratic voting blocks.

Citing the need for "equity," Biden’s order explicitly directed agencies to target Black and Native American communities, Hispanic and Latino voters, "civil rights and disability rights advocates," convicted felons, and voters who work for the federal government.

What does each of these voting blocs have in common? As I explained in my book, "The Puppeteers," all of these groups have a long history of lopsided support for Democrats. One of the reasons the left is so good at getting low-propensity voters to the polls may be because they’ve figured out how to make taxpayers fund their GOTV operations.

So, what did these agencies do ahead of the 2022, 2023, and the upcoming 2024 election? Taxpayers don’t get to know that. The Biden administration has refused to disclose the plans submitted by hundreds of federal agencies, claiming executive privilege prevents their release.

Freedom of Information Act lawsuits are in the courts, but the executive privilege claim by Biden is slowing the release of the action plan. Why so secretive if it is so good and important?

That secrecy argument is bogus on its face. But it may take ongoing lawsuits years to force their disclosure. Meanwhile Democrats are winning elections with the help of more than 2 million federal employees.

#1 What republicans don't understand is that the bureaucracy is not a tool of the democratic party, democratic party is the tool of the bureaucracy. You, really, really should read Milovan Djilas' The New Class.
And John Kenneth Galbraith's The Affluent Society.

#2 There won't be much a bureaucracy when they kill the economic basis its subsist upon. Magic Money Tree mentality.

#3 The esteemed professor and instapundit Glenn Reynolds has a recurring narrative arc about "new class" in his articles that he publishes.

#4 It's simple. If there's a Biden involved, there's a theft. It's what they do.
