Fyodor Dostoevsky is one of the most well-known authors ever to put pen to paper. The Russian novelist wrote a book called Notes from the Underground. In the novel, Dostoevsky talks about the criminal type of man. This type of man tends to be a socialist, not because he read Marx and was convinced by it, but rather because socialist goals create a world more amenable to criminal life. Dostoevsky was writing fiction, but it feels like he was writing about the modern United States.
The Federalist published a piece in May about the ‘Criminal Caucus.’ Left-leaning non-profits are working hard to get out the vote to convicted felons. Author M.D. Kittle states, “While it may sound like a noble cause, it’s not just about the “right to vote” for the big monied interests behind these “re-enfranchisement” efforts. It’s about voting for the right people.”
The groups working to get ex-convicts and convicted felons into the ballot box are not concerned about protecting the rights and liberties of criminal Americans. Rather, they want to make sure the Democrats win in November. Much like in Dostoevsky’s novel, the criminal element in society vote for the left, because the left is anti-law and anti-order.
A 2019 study said: “Currently incarcerated felons are more than three times as likely to be registered Democrats … or unaffiliated … than Republicans. Ex-felons are four times as likely to be Democrats … or unaffiliated”
Biden is also using Executive Order 14019 to funnel Bidenbucks into non-profits that get felons into the ballot box.
Every week it feels like America is becoming more of an anarcho-tyranny. The government suppresses the freedoms of normal Americans while giving everyone else the ability to commit crimes scot-free. Now, the mask is off, and the Democrats are admitting they are the party for criminals.
