One of the biggest crisis happening in USA, is decline of its big cities. New York, San Francisco, Seattle, LA and many others are declining in front of our eyes, they are turning to unaffordable crime ridden places that look more like like sci-fi dystopias from movies or comics.
Nowhere has this decline been more visible than in LA and San Francisco. Last week I watched episode of TV Show "Full House", in the middle of video, I realized, that intro for the Show (with Family driving trough San Francisco), would not be possible to make today, since streets are riddled with homeless, drug users, junk and trash. LA is even worse, it is literally falling apart, and is each day more like large cities of third world, with slums surrounded by Villas of rich people.
Sure many conservatives might be tempted to say, "I don't care, I don't live there".
This might have been truth, if the migration wasn't bringing people who voted for those policies to other small cities across USA, and those people in many cases continue to vote for same polices they escaped from.
I ask myself, how did we get there?
I find it crazy, that election after election, voters like sheep, go and vote Democrats on local level(event though they city is collapsing) only because they disagree with Republicans on Federal or State level. I mean, aren't you tired of jumping over human excrement on streets? Don't you want to let your kind go play in park without worrying that they will be attacked by some drug users or get hold of used needles on the street?
All Dem run cities I hate to say this but President Trump told us in 2016 and told us in 2020 this is what happens when the Dems are in power and if we continue to give Nancy Pelosi Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden the White House we are going to go further down the tubes I really don’t think Americans want to eat each other I think we are all grateful for our military grateful for our men in blue it’s just at the moment as we stand the 20-30 years of state capture by the Clintons and the Obamas (yes I know we had the Bush father and son in between) is the result of what we have now but all is not lost the midterms coming up Elon Musk buying Twitter a vaccine mandate that was overturned it’s starting to look a little brighter 🌞🌞wish you all a good day!
All true, yet the idea of voting for a Republican is seen as worse.
I used to be a democrat back in the JFK style democrat days, but I ran away from the Jimmy Carter style democrat party. The R’s are far from perfect, but at least I think they are on America’s side. The democrats act like they hate Americans and want to take us all down.
I don’t think the Reps are on our side - I know they are - the Democrats are trapped in an old style form of leadership you only need to look at Joe Biden God it’s archaic and yes the Democrats want America for themselves even if they burn us down in the process I have always voted for them come 2022 I hope we flip everything and 2024 take back the power I don’t care who the nominee is it will always be better than what we supposedly vote fir in 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸
For me, it used to be a toss-up between "they hate America" and "they love power so much that the downsides of getting that power are worth it." Nowadays I think there are really two groups: the puppet-masters at the top who have a very definite plan for us and the Useful Idiots who swallow their lies and act upon them. And of course you have the Gutless Republicans, who seem to like losing politely, that make it all possible.
The problem is that the Left know their policies are despised by the average American, who does not want any of it, so they have to lie or cheat and shove it down our necks. If we can get back real vote integrity, I think we may - just may - get control of this lunacy.
I think You've got the right of it there, M. Lynne. But I'm thinking the plan may backfire as more and more Hispanics come to see the Dems for what they are. Just need a Repub candidate who isn't Trump, IMO.
you are correct, they don’t just act like they hate America, they DO hate America. I just finished listening to Douglas Murray interviewed on the podcast, Triggernometry. He has a new book coming out soon dealing with the hatred of America and the West by the Left. His answer—Enough! Time to start realizing how great America and the West are and stop apologizing! Time to stand up and defend them. I love Douglas Murray and could listen to him all day long.
I love him too! He’s such a straight shooter. I’m really looking forward to his new book and I’m going to go listen to that podcast right now while I cook dinner.
I lived in Detroit during the riots of 1968. Detroit didn't immediately collapse, but slid into it's current state over many decades. Back in 68, Detroit was the fifth largest city in the country (chew on that), but it lost 60% of it's residents and dropped to 25th most populous city in the country.
It will be decades before a full accounting of the damage done by the 2020 'Summer of Love' can be completed. Unless immediate action is taken, which should include a full purge of the local government officials, and shoring up of the police departments, many large urban centers will continue to realize a Detroit style slide in population and relevance.
I continue to be shocked that we never fully questioned how all of the riots were organized and conducted at the time. Instead, we focused on to Jan 6.
Exactly 1/6 is much more important because the focus is on President Trump 1/6 insurrectionists carry much more political mileage than the thugs of Seattle who are never going to be brought to book it shows how weak the leadership is there also Chicago leadership everybody out of control the men in blue don’t do well there either
hard to measure things when there's few numbers to go by. I believe the Floyd riots and the Jan. 6 were about equally bad. Hard-ta believe, mebbe. But look at it this Way. Riots killed and burned. People died. Businesses lost.
But Jan. 6 Democracy almost burned and died. That was the attempt. To "stop the steal." A president was elected. After the states certified their results, the election was OVER. You get that don't You? There's no appeal after that. But there was one guy caught on camera who actually DID try to steal the election. That was Trump.
Respect your thoughts jt although I totally disagree rioting, killing, burning and businesses lost is the murdering of our democracy the other was people’s right to protest as in our democracy you get that don’t you!
Just read an article about Jeff Flake. I know.. I know.. RINO, right?
But, see, I don't *have* a political party. Two things: I can be pretty flexible in my ideas, and two, the party doesn't mean a thing to me. Nothing. It's just ideas, "all the way down."
Just to show You a RINO can have a good idea:
>>> nd what of the “enlightened” autocratic models like China?
Flake admits that it can work for a season, especially when steeped in more free market economic philosophies and an openness to pluralism. But, in the end, “centrally planned economies don’t run very well,” he says. Concentrated power is only one bad leader away from failure.
>>> “So my bet is still with the West, and with democracy. And I hope the United States remains a valued example of the good that can happen over time.”
>>> The best way to persuade the world — and Turkey — is for the United States to live up to the full measure of its ideals, Flake explains. Showing a democratic model that builds unity, cooperation and prosperity out of diversity will always inspire. The fight for freedom, he continues, is what’s moving so many to rally around Ukraine.
That's the easy solution, and the hardest part: Unity and cooperation. But it's well worth it, if You want prosperity.
Now fo r the part You won't like, but which I believe is true:
>>> “Democracy can survive bad policy,” Flake continues. “It’s not positive, but it can survive. But what our country can’t survive is a failure to respect elections and their outcomes.”
We can, and will, survive Biden. What we'll never be able to survive is having *two presidents* at the same time. Think about it!
Biggest question is: How are the armed forces gonna split? I think anyone with a gun who wants to save their version of Democracy should consider that question, first and foremost. What's the Army and them gonna do?
See? One man's protest is another man's riot. What were the *aims* of the two "mostly peaceful" riots.
One was violence to people and property.
One was to the rule of the law of the Constitution. Once You understand that the election was over, what *was* the point of the "mostly peaceful" riot?
I place both-a those on the same pedestal, is all.
Jon...nice gear. Because of the media emotionally touching the Jan 6th protest, 2 years now of time and money waste, we are suppose to believe the street riots are of small concern.
Because dems are in charge in DC and Jan 6 is what they believe will keep them in the promised land in November 2022 instead if being cast into the wilderness of no power. Dems encouraged the riots and the destruction. Remember San Fran Nan and her geriatric cohorts kneeling with the African cloths on their necks to show solidarity with the Burn Loot Murder crowd? (Those cloths were from the black African tribe that actually enslaved and sold black Africans into over seas slavery. Ironic no?)
Ooooohhh Unwoke I forgot about that. Hope it's part of the election material later this year. Remind everyone who did what. With receipts. There's so many!
In addition, the piles of bricks delivered and neatly stacked...waiting for the hands that will come and throw them against windows. These riots were designed and directed by political operatives who promised "no consequences" for theft, vandalism and violence. Dec. 6 had a surprising number of FBI participants. Go figure.

I made the same transition at the same time for the same reason!
me too.
For me, it used to be a toss-up between "they hate America" and "they love power so much that the downsides of getting that power are worth it."

IMO this is why they have opened the border - to import people more malleable to their vision.
I think You've got the right of it there, M. Lynne. But I'm thinking the plan may backfire as more and more Hispanics come to see the Dems for what they are. Just need a Repub candidate who isn't Trump, IMO.
I agree. Trump did a remarkable job but he is like catnip to his opposition and they will turn out in droves.
I liked a lotta YOur other comments, too.
It's a FACT.
The Establishment (consisting of Rs and Ds) are destroying America for the benefit of a ruling elite. Immigration is their tool. They are traitors.
Act like?
you are correct, they don’t just act like they hate America, they DO hate America. I just finished listening to Douglas Murray interviewed on the podcast, Triggernometry. He has a new book coming out soon dealing with the hatred of America and the West by the Left. His answer—Enough! Time to start realizing how great America and the West are and stop apologizing!

Love Douglas Murray the Madness of Crowds was a brilliant read going to definitely read his new one
I love him too! He’s such a straight shooter. I’m really looking forward to his new book and I’m going to go listen to that podcast right now while I cook dinner.
Jordan Peterson just interviewed him as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd5qf4pG-xg&list=TLPQMjUwNDIwMjKJtlcZhnYWCw&index=2
Loved the interview it makes you realize the last thing you want to listen to is the MSM
He's brilliant and bold.
same here! Loved his books Madness of Crowds and Strange Death of Europe.
Me too!
