The millions of unemployed should be a "reserve army of the unemployed" who can be used to subtly "threaten" other workers with replacement (putting downward pressure on their wages making them worse off too)...

whilst also being easily radicalized into support of the very Party whose Minimum Wage illegalized their jobs and threw them out into the street in the first place

Which jobs were illegalized?

Those elections had already been conceded. The Democrats did not attempt to interfere with the election results and overthrow the government.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that she was open to a “scenario” in which the Democrat-run House of Representatives would overturn a close Republican win in Iowa’s second congressional district.

Same thing. Different race.

It was a win by two votes, so what she's probably alluding to is a recount....which is not "interference" despite efforts at whataboutism.

Which jobs were illegalized?

Jobs which would pay less than Minimum Wage are now illegal & criminal

They now only occur in the illegal sector of the Labor market

But so many millions of illegal workers are employed, at sub-minimum wage, that they can support perhaps 30M undocumented residents in the US plus millions more relatives throughout Latin America (sending money back home)

Tens and tens of millions of Latinos find $4-5/hr to be a plenty livable wage

And they're doing far better than millions of jobless & homeless American citizens, for whom no jobs are available at their skill levels, b/c all such jobs have been illegalized

 

[FireDragon76]

Exactly

8 of Dems top 10 concerns revolve around Trump, conservatives, "white supremacy", "domestic terrorism", "gun violence"...

And rightly so. Trump incited a riotous mob, filled with white supremacists, to attack the Capitol. That's reason enough for concern.

It's not the jobs that have been illegalized; it's the rate of pay.

same thing

same effect

many tens of millions of illegal residents, as well as their families throughout Latin America, are currently living comfortably enough off of those sub-minimum wage jobs, that they keep on coming for more

Comfortably? I don't think so. You'll need to prove it.

His argument is that starvation wages need to be brought back because if it's good enough for illegal immigrants, it's good enough for Americans.

That's not what Pelosi means at all.
This election has been counted and recounted multiple times and was ultimately certified by the state. Miller-Meeks won by just 6 votes. Hart, the defeated Democrat, filed a motion to challenge the election results through the House Administration Committee, which is the first step to overturning the election results. That has all played out and it has been certified.

Shouldn't we be saying here - for the sake of consistency - that the election was fortified and questioning these results "is a threat to democracy", just as was said about the 2020 election?

You've got to be kidding.

At what point did the Democrats claim the 2020 election was fortified?
