White House advisor Stephen Miller reminded Republicans that Democrats and socialists and Islamists are not rational people looking to improve the country. They are greedy, bitter, tribalistic thugs, who simply want to take as much as possible from other people for their own benefit.
On August 21, Miller went on The Will Cain Show on Fox News. Conservatives consistently make the mistake, Miller noted, of believing that when debating their political opponents, they are having a “rational, good faith conversation about the distribution of assets in this country.”
Despite centuries of Democrat violence and wealth redistribution, the assumption for some reason always seems to be that “there's a group of people who all love America, who love Americans, who love the people who built this country, who love the middle class, and we're having a rational, good faith conversation about who should get what in this country and what amount. You know that famous expression, right? 'A rising tide lifts all boats,'” Miller quoted.
He continued, “Having that conversation assumes that you are talking to somebody who cares about everybody's boat equally.” But that is certainly not the case. “When you think about, for example, the Somali refugees in Minnesota and [Rep.] Ilhan Omar, that's not the heuristic that they're using to talk about prosperity,” Miller went on. “They're thinking about it as [assuming] the people who built this country, Western civilization, the generations that have been here that blazed the trails, that won the wars, ‘we are taking from them to give to ourselves and our progeny’. It is a purely tribalistic redistribution.”

Miller emphasized that at the root of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), the Democrat Party, and all Marxist ideologies is this tribalistic redistribution. “In other words, what unites the jihadists, the Islamists, the open borders crowd, the Democrat Socialists, the radical leftists, what unites them all is saying that ‘you, you American, you who built this country, you whose sweat and toil and sacrifice created this country. You who sublimated your own desires so that your children and their children could have something better. You don't deserve to have security anymore. Physical safety, economic safety, these jobs, this country, this education system, that doesn't belong to you.’”
Immigrants used to come to America because they wanted to participate in the American dream; they wanted more freedom and more prosperity and the chance to earn their place through merit and hard work. That is no longer true of many immigrants, particularly illegal aliens or people from Muslim countries. They are coming here merely to take what we have and then transform the culture into their image. They want all the benefits of our capitalist, republican system, and yet they despise our system and want to replace it with their own failed ideology.
Miller pointed out the demographic shift in America that led to an ideological shift. “So when you think about, for example, public schools, half of kids in New York public schools can't speak English properly. Why? Because 40% of New York City or New York State school students are either migrants or the children of migrants,” he said. “They're redistributing education from the taxpaying base to newcomers. It's driven… by a belief in Karl Marx, a hatred of the West and the people who created it.” That’s precisely why it’s so destructive.
