From a forum post:

I concur that even if Dem politicians are motivated by representation, that sort of thing is too abstract to appeal to the rank and file. The question we have to ask is, what appeals to the protesters on a basic EMOTIONAL level?
I was thinking of saving this concept for its own thread, but you've made me curious as to whether we might be on the same page.
The emotional appeal motivating all the protesters is WHITE SAVIOR SYNDROME.
Despite the fact that for 20 years POC pundits have bloviated about the negative image of "White Saviors" in politics and culture, at base the Left is still motivated by the idea that Good White People can rescue their Little Brown Brothers from chaos. In the case of illegal migration, this has become attached to an Ethic of Diversification, that posits that the only way to get rid of the influence of Bad White People is to bring as many non-white people into the country as possible, so that, whether through political representation or intermarriage, White dominance will be expunged. Of course, Liberal thought never considers the possibility that their idealized Diverse Nation might be just as exclusionary in one way or another.
The obvious retort is, "Oh, the Great Replacement Theory of Rightie Conspiracies." But it's not a conspiracy theory anymore. Just today I'm hearing some MN mayor blathering about "racial profiling." That's brilliant. You allow millions of people of diverse races to enter the country, and when the law tries to put them out, it's "racial profiling." I can't count the number of times that Leftie propagandists have championed this sort of forced diversification, as a Good In Itself.
That's the sort of thing Renee Good stood for; the freedom to allow diverse people to stay in the country, no matter what crimes they commit, thereby to prove how generous the Good White People are, as against the Bad White People.
