This Word Kills. Democrats Don’t Know What It Means.

August 12, 2025 by Bob Prokop Leave a Comment

The Democrat Party’s unflinching support for agenda items most Americans lacking Art History degrees from expensive Eastern colleges consider ludicrous is infuriating. When Biden made good on his promise to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court, lucky DEI pick Ketanji Brown Jackson feigned ignorance about her own gender. Americans watching the hearing were in on the scam, but that only seemed to encourage her to play her audience for fools.

At the risk of being crude, we know every time we take a shower whether we are XX or XY. Progressives have the straight-faced audacity to pretend they are hopelessly obtuse about gender while defending science out of the other side of their mouths to prop up their climate Armageddon hoax.

I’ll give the left credit. Democrats don’t fear looking stupid. If they did, they wouldn’t demand that feminine hygiene products be placed in boys’ school bathrooms or insist that men can menstruate. As dumb as these things seem to normal, sane Americans who add value to our society and said no to this sort of nonsense in November 2024, changing the meaning of words has an advantage. If you are a public figure and repeat something often enough, there is a good chance more people will eventually believe you.

Redefining simple terms like man, woman, and health care is a sneaky propaganda trick that’s been around as long as lying politicians. The left brazenly promotes genital mutilation of children, a practice we condemn when it happens in the Third World. Democrats sanitize it with the misnomer “gender-affirming care” to imply that poisoning and maiming healthy kids solves a biological problem created by their insane activist politics.

The Crenshaw Amendment was included in Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill to end federal health care funding for medical transitioning:

Congressman Crenshaw stated. “Gender transition procedures are the lobotomy of our generation. So-called ‘gender-affirming care’ isn’t healthcare—it’s fringe science with no proven benefit and massive risks.”1

In the 50s and 60s it was thalidomide. Now future generations will have to account for Americans permanently damaged by progressive “medicine.”

To be entirely fair, gender transition impacts a very tiny minority. It’s not a lethal procedure, though the consequences later in life can’t be predicted. Murder, on the other hand, is irreversible. This brings us to another word Democrats refuse to admit they understand that has sweeping consequences for every American. When ignored, this word kills. The word is “illegal.”

Democrats don’t understand “illegal,” but they spend a lot of time promoting it

Thank heavens for racism

There was a time when we all understood what racism is. If we didn’t, Democrats like Alabama Governor George Wallace and Joe Biden, who opposed school desegregation and during an April 2025 speech in Chicago referred to Black children as “colored kids,”2 reminded us how it works.

It’s true that America has a history of racism and discrimination that we are not proud of, but your grandparents’ racism and the racism propagandized by contemporary Democrats are not the same thing. There is a big difference between intentional acts of discrimination and using skin color for political gain.

While fanning the flames of their nationwide racial riot fest during Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign by declaring everything America stands for as systemically racist, Democrats also redefined “illegal.” Assault and wanton property destruction no longer applied. Looting was justified as reparations to level our discriminatory playing field.

Shut up and do what we want, racist

Comrade Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) threw the race card in support of socialist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani:

There has been an outpouring of disgraceful, dangerous, racist ideology from sitting Members of Congress and administration officials following Zohran Mamdani’s win in the New York Mayoral primary.3

She unleashed a deluge of treasured progressive keywords to explain the real reason behind America’s rejection of an anti-law enforcement candidate who pushes the boundaries of socialism into abject Marxism. Decrying “a barrage of racist, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, and xenophobic attacks” against Mamdani, Jayapal warns:

The hateful language directed at Mr. Mamdani will get someone killed, and we all should be outraged. It must end.4

The message? Shut up and do what we want, racist.

Jayapal doesn’t extend the same threat that someone will get killed to ICE agents targeted by the left who she calls a “rogue force,”5 who Open Border Czar Kamala Harris compared to the KKK, who are denounced by LA Mayor Karen Bass, and are routinely compared to Nazi storm troopers and doxed by radical pro-illegal immigration activists.

Instead, Democrats stupidly pretend they don’t understand the meaning of “illegal” immigrant to justify protecting criminal foreign nationals to shore up their argument that immigrant means good, law-abiding new Americans who will save our economy and hand them more seats in the House.

Like many of her Democrat colleagues, Jayapal ignores how many new citizens we naturalize every month:

Republicans like to talk about how they support immigrants who quote ‘do things the right way,’” said Jayapal. “Now that they control Congress and the White House, they should be putting their money where their mouth is and ensuring that the legal immigration process remains open to those who pursue it—but that’s not what’s happening. They have arrested people at their citizenship interviews, their check-in appointments with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and increasingly, at immigration court.6

According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, we naturalized nearly 8 million new citizens over the past ten years including 818,500 new citizens in 2024 and 2.6 million in just three years.7

New citizens naturalized in 2024 by month.

Granted, it’s not as fast as ignoring our immigration laws and the meaning of “illegal” and “criminal” to usher in millions to pack congressional districts, but it helps keep our good, law-abiding people safe.

Democrat lives matter. Our lives do not.

When illegals murder Americans, the Democrat Party’s response is nothing to see here. That’s what we saw during their shocking refusal to acknowledge Laken Riley’s mother during Trump’s 2025 address to Congress.

Life suddenly matters when their own safety is at risk as they claimed after the January 6 “Insurrection:”

Every member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) inside the building during the attack who spoke with Newsweek thought it would be the last day of their life.

“It was the only time in my life I was sure I was going to die,” Representative Luis Correa said.8

When Americans die for real at the hands of Correa and his party’s illegals, the response is very different. They pretend it never happened.

Illegals are just part of Democrats crusade against the rule of law

Louder voices than mine have condemned the Democrat Party-sanctioned invasion of America ever since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris revoked American sovereignty and opened our doors wide to every murderer, rapist, child molester, human trafficker, and drug dealer who Democrats offered a piece of the American Dream.

We don’t know how responsible Biden was for anything that happened in his White House including his signature. We do know that Harris is a moron in good company with Pritzker, Newsom, Hochul, Whitmer, Walz, Johnson, Lee, Crockett, AOC, and the rest of the vainglorious, anti-American radical circus that confuses the rule of law with the rule of Democrats.

Day after day we hear examples of dangerous criminals released to the streets in Blue Cities controlled by activist progressives. JB Pritzker signed the Illinois Safety, Accountability, Fairness and Equity-Today (SAFE-T) Act which imposed no cash bail restrictions that made committing crimes safer for criminals and the streets less safe for good people.

While bullets fly across Chicago streets, Pritzker is ready to sign SB 1953, the Sonya Massey Bill, to clamp down on police hiring while he joins Chicago Mayor. Brandon Johnson and Illinois Democrats to protect criminal illegals from ICE and Dictator Donald Trump.

ICE agents make arrest in Chicago
ICE makes Chicago safer because Pritzker and Johnson won’t**

New York, California, and other blue hellholes have similar laws. So does Washington, D.C. where Democrat leadership has made the city so dangerous that the Trump administration tapped the National Guard to clean up America’s Capitol.

Hilariously, after years of denouncing law enforcement and demanding that we “reimagine” policing as they wage their partisan war on ICE, Democrats attacked the GOP’s proposed 2026 Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies funding bill because they claim it will precipitate the mayhem progressives already brought to our streets:

Threatens national security by defunding law enforcement, eliminating thousands of federal agent and analyst positions, and cutting resources to protect Americans from harm, including violent crime, espionage, domestic and international terrorism, and other threats.9

Analysts won’t keep our streets safe from crime. Neither will social workers or sanctuary policies or no cash bail laws or any of the other be kind to criminals agenda items in the progressive trick bag. If Democrats are serious about keeping Americans safe, they can start by acknowledging that “illegal” means something. Don’t expect that to happen anytime soon.
