#1 Hopefully they will leave their old voting habits behind as well.

#2 Blue babies reviving! Soon, hopefully,
They'll be in the pink, and thrive. Hopefully?
I'm sure they'll think twice
Once fresh air makes 'em nice.
Then we'll all vote Republican... hopefully.

#3 Hopefully they will leave their old voting habits behind as well.

That requires they admit they were wrong. Human ego says otherwise. They're the plague to carry the virus out of the hot zone.

#4 I recently had a new internet provider install a system up in Cherokee County, GA. He had an obvious NJ or NY accent, no smiles, a definite transplant. Got to talking to him briefly about available channels, cable content, etc. His closing comment below:

"Yea,about all you hear nowadays on the tube is Trump, Trump, Trump."

No, the spots don't change much.

#6 Commies always blame their failures on:

- 'wreckers'

- 'it wasn't done right'

- 'the right people weren't in charge'

#7 ^ That's because the right people are not commies.

#8 The funny thing is the commies always assume they'll be the ones to survive to tinker with peoples lives making Communism work this time, when most likely they'll be first against the wall.

Yes, and that's not all.

People have been talking about the Curley Effect, wherein the most productive, smartest citizens are driven out of a city, leaving only the parasites and the sub-average.

This increases the grip that mayors like DuhBlahZero have on their cities ("Reign in Hell" and all that)

At first blush, we might all have a little chuckle about that, as we revel in these blue cities’ self-inflicted miseries.

One small problem, though.

There’s an election coming up, and there are several “swing states” where the vote could be determined by just a few thousand ballots.

Imagine blue (or blue-ish) city mayors with a stronger than ever grip on the ballot collection and vote counts, thanks to the BLMexit.

What will they do when Tom Perez calls and says “We need your state to go to Biden. Do what you gotta do.”?

Now, you’re going to say “But charger! They’ll do that anyway! So what’s the big deal?”

The big deal is that the Great Vote Robbery of 2020 will be on a far larger scale and by more multifarious means than ever before.

And unless there’s a plan to deal with it, this “cleansing” of the cities will make it even easier for the left to pull these shenanigans.

The next question will be “But charger! This is happening in blue states! So it’s a wash! So what’s the big deal?”

They’ve been putting this show on in their own nests, but that doesn’t mean they won’t take it on the road to the metropoles of low population density pro-Trump states.

Even if it wasn’t all part of some grand design, we shouldn’t ignore the opportunities for stealing the election that these circumstances provide.

And the left is nothing if not opportunistic.

#10 One thing I forgot to mention in my little essay is that the stakes are bigger than ever for these Mayors of Disaster, because they're all going to want massive bailouts from you and me.

That's much more likely to happen with a Biden win.

Which is why I think the cheating and theft will go way beyond anything we've seen before.

It would be a gross failure of imagination and dereliction of duty to assume that the left will merely do what they've always done.

Sadly, the Right is very prone to failures of imagination ("Surely, no one would ever do that?!")

#11 It's not 'coming', it's already here. Boston will perhaps come back in a few years but places like NYC, Portland, Seattle and Minneapolis, however, are truly and royally fucked.

#12 Just say No. They made this miss with their support of progressive politicians and polices, for them to live in the results.

Or maybe its time to do a right-side Antif against these people once we find out where they live.

If Biden wins, we'll all pay for it.

In fact, the only ones not paying will be the ones responsible for it.
