America’s cities are dying, and no one in the Democrat Party seems to want to do anything to stop it from happening. In fact, it is Democrats who are actively managing the chaos and destruction. Ask yourselves why that is the case.
After all, the big cities represent almost the entire base of power for the Democrat Party. That’s why the county-by-county presidential election maps always look like a sea of red with little blue islands sprinkled onto it.

Most of those islands are the counties where the big cities are. The sea of red is where they aren’t. This isn’t complicated.
Yet, right now, as we sit isolated in our homes today thinking about which useless, virtue-signaling mask we will wear when we venture out to the grocery store, Democrat mayors and city councils all over the country are willingly presiding over the complete destruction of their centers of power.
The mass exodus out of New York City that is happening right now under communist Bill de Blasio’s buffoonish leadership has become so severe that it had mass murdering Governor Andrew Cuomo actually begging wealthy people to move back, promising to buy them drinks and dinner if they do:
Mayors like De Blasio, Lori Lightfoot in Chicago and Muriel Bowser in Washington, DC appear bent on completely destroying their cities’ tourism industries, which are the life’s blood for their local economies. All three communist Democrat mayors have now imposed 14 day quarantine requirements against any person entering their cities from a broad list of other U.S. states, as well as other countries. This is madness, plain and simple.
Or maybe it’s something else entirely. Perhaps it isn’t madness at all, but simply a part of the goal of any communist in America, which is to destroy our nation’s institutions and economy in order to render the population destitute, isolated, frightened and needy, and thus far easier to control.
We must all wake up and recognize that today’s “Democrats” are not our father’s or grandfather’s Democrats. We have no doubt all known so many Democrats in our lives who voted for that party’s candidates out of a sense of compassion for the poor and perceived generosity, albeit with other people’s money. Voting for Democrats has been their means of assuaging their own guilt over having so much in their lives.
Anyone who still believes that today’s Democrat Party still has anything even slightly resembling a sense of compassion for the poor in our society is living in some warped, post-apocalyptic version of Fantasy Island. Literally the only thing today’s Democrat politicians care about doing with the poor is to manufacture more of them, whether that be by destroying our own economy or by opening up the borders to anyone who wants to come in and become dependent on our already overwhelmed social safety net.
Do any of you really still believe that San Fran Nan and Chuckie Schumer have tanked the latest stimulus bill because they want more in it for the poor? That’s what the trillion dollar GOP Senate bill is focused on doing.
The stuff the Democrats want to lard into it in fact involves about a trillion dollars to bail out their own poorly-managed states and cities that they have run into the ground over the past half century, giving a gigantic tax break to wealthy people in New York and California, and spending another trillion or so on “Green New Deal” nonsense that will dramatically increase everyone’s power bills, a move that would hit the poorest the hardest.
The irony is that congressional Democrats are trying to bail out the big cities that local Democrat officials are in the process of intentionally destroying. This week, in response to Cuomo’s pleading, the Big Doofus de Blasio told reporters that “New York is for New Yorkers.”
He then went on to say the following (read carefully):
“We must build our policies around working people,” he said. “If the federal government fails us we should immediately return to Albany to the discussion put a tax on wealthy New Yorkers.”
“While everyone else is suffering, you see stock markets rising, the rich getting richer. Wealthy New Yorkers, they can pay a bit more so can get through this crisis,” de Blasio continued.
De Blasio during his press conference also advised New Yorkers against buying a car. “My advice to New Yorkers is don’t buy a car, cars are the past, future is mass transit, biking, hiking,” the mayor said. “Going forward I will never buy a car again.”
“There’s a lot of New Yorkers who are wealthy who are true believers in New York City and will stand and fight with us, and some may be fair-weathered friends, but they will be replaced by others,” the mayor continued.
[End]
Will the wealthy who are fleeing the city really be replaced by others, as the Mayor contends? What wealthy person in his or her right mind would move to New York City as it exists today? What person of means would voluntarily move into a city to pay double the taxes he or she would owe in a neighboring state? What person with an innovative, forward-looking mind would want to live under the yoke of a communist Mayor who wants his citizens to eliminate their own independence and mobility?
Even more to the point: What person of means would want to live in what has become a hell-hole with skyrocketing crime and constant rioting, and which is governed by a communist Mayor and city council that is actively de-funding the police department?
And it’s not just New York City: The very same dynamics are taking place in Democrat-run cities all over the country. We talk about Portland, Chicago, Seattle and Minneapolis a lot, but the exact same things are happening in Democrat-run cities in red states like Texas and Louisiana and Tennessee and Georgia.
It all seems like madness, this effort by Democrats to destroy the cities that serve as their base of power. But, when you accept the reality that today’s Democrat Party is now a violent, radicalized, Alinskyite/communist organization with all the attendant overarching goals that come with it, you realize it isn’t madness at all, but just a necessary piece of the Grand Plan.
Once you accept who today’s Democrats truly are, everything they do makes perfect sense.
That is all.
they, like Wilhelm-the-destroyer,
do not even use their own name.
“Anyone who still believes that today’s Democrat Party still has anything even slightly resembling a sense of compassion for the poor in our society is living in some warped, post-apocalyptic version of Fantasy Island”
To anyone who believes that the demonkraps ever had compassion for the poor at any time in our society is also living in Fantasy Island. Their “compassion” was part of their strategy to gain a permanent power.
The Commie Rats are crazy but not stoopid.
under this strategy, we can all qualify for “UN” aid like a Liberia, or a shithole like Somalia, but there will be no US to foot the bill.
I’m sure the way into progress is for us to return to horse and buggy days as per AOC.
Progress, advancement, achievement and success that we enjoy came out of the “capitalist” system we and the G7 developed.
It did not come from tribalism, islam, nor marxism.
Marxism will turn all of us into street sweepers!
Hmmm
Maybe he means easier to control in the future.
With all of the BLM riots going on, I see precious little control happening.
The Freddie Gray Baltimore riots were organized and permitted by the Obama DOJ. The Democrats get ahead of themselves with crisis and wasting. I hope Kanye nails Biden on the debate stage for the destruction he and Barack caused to some great US cities.
I feel the destruction of our cities is intentional...
+1. Give them nothing. Sometimes the best learned lessons are the most painful. If the voters won’t learn then they deserve what they get.
Joe McCarthy was a prophet.
Drove that nail in with one blow.
Yes but I don’t think it will have the result they expect. The leaders think “If Trump goes away, so do the riots” but the voters may think “Someone has to protect us and Democrats want to defund the police”
Unfortunately, as liberals flee their self-created liberal cities, they frequently continue to vote left, and will turn previously dependable conservative states to liberal. That may well be the ultimate goal.
The ones at the top might not be stupid, but they have legions of useful idiot followers.
I was going to say the same thing. California was the test bed. For decades the people have fled CA and infected other states, even creating a name for the destruction, Californication. It ruined Colorado, for sure, and other western states.
Chicago has always had an up-state vs. downstate dynamic with the patriots in southern Illinois. Now people are fleeing the rising crime in Chicago for the safety the south provides, but they’ll still vote blue, thus eventually benefiting the politicians in Chicago (so they can vote themselves more money without the downstaters trying to stop them).
St. Louis is becoming the same way. The only way someone who’s an avowed Marxists like Kim Gardner can get voted back into office as a prosecutor is if the people there want her. She just got re-elected.
Portland chaos pushes blue voters to the “safer” eastern portion of Oregon, diluting their more conservative voters.
The cities are totally lost. The plan is to spread out the pain, no matter the cost to the host cities. Coming soon to a suburb like yours!
Bolshies are just trying to get taxpayers use to the idea that they have to bail stupid Bolshie mayors and governors.
...little control happening...

They thought they controlled BLM.
True or not, they no longer do.
A mantra to remember:
Everyone is always thinking.
Events never follow an exponentially upward path, but the opposite can happen easily.
” Coming soon to a suburb like yours!”
Already came and gone. Bunch of cops had to surround and protect the protestors and escort them out of town so they wouldn’t trip and hurt themselves.
bkmk
“the mayor said. “Going forward I will never buy a car again.”
Says the guy who has a taxpayer paid for car and driver.
Hey, DelBozo...I’ll never buy a private jet, either. I can fly anywhere in the country for a hundred bucks, you fool.
