#1 Given all the racial politics, their voter plantation complexes aka Ghettos, easy to get Gov. $$$$$ for illegitimate births, SNAP benefits, Welfare, the get of Jail Free card for certain racial and pervert groups and etc...

In 56 years, the Liberal, Socialists and Democrats (LSD's) have done a job, STALIN would be proud of.

By appearing to fight while actually promoting:
crime, murder, placing fundamentally opposed groups next to each other, promoting Racial pride over a the US Melt-Pot process. Then using Gun Control as the solution place them ONLY in charge of your safety which usually 15 to 90 mins away.

BTW: Checkout HEYJACKASS.COM of some Real Factual Data on their success in promoting crime in Chicago for votes.

#3 Cities have got to have a purpose. That's how they were founded. The lands west of the Mississippi are littered with ghost towns. Grafting is not known as a viable basis for sustainment. Eventually the host dies.

#4 Cities have got to have a purpose.

Commerce was the purpose. Culture was the dividend. The savvy businessmen have move their pursuits to more amenable locations. The culture dividend stopped when the businesses left.

#5 America's 'capital of woke' decriminalised drugs and became a hellscape of open-air fentanyl markets which even addicts admit was a mistake... leading to a humiliating U-turn for liberals, reveals TOM LEONARD

#9 ...but things have changed dramatically since 1965...

That's when Lyndon Johnson was president. Some might question if old LBJ had anything to do with the way "things have changed dramatically".

#10 ...it was called the Great Society. Drive off decades of black fathers and solid family units circa 1960. Grow generation of voters for free stuff. All around the 'immortal' city. Power by any means necessary.

That was their mistake thinking that the city drove everything. Soon the highways and suburbs started to bleed the economic attraction of those cities. Manufacturing was driven out or left. The reason to exist diminished. There's an old story from the West. Boomtowns that grew along the cattle trails north. Soon the 'best folk' got tired of the antics and behavior of the cowpokes and regulated them out. The trails shifted elsewhere or the rail lines took the freight. Those towns died. You are seeing that played out in slow motion now.

If you rely upon moving paper for a business, you can do that anywhere. If that goes digital you don't need a 'where'.

#11 Yes, the Great Society: HUD, AFDC, Headstart, Affirmative Action, Vietnam and all of that. Dunno if it's true but I read somewhere about LBJ boasting how he'd have black people voting Democrat for the next 200 years. I believe it because that's the kind of guy he was...immoral to the core. Only one thing was important to that man and that was power. This country went off the rails in 1963. We had a brief respite in the 1980s when Ronald Reagan was president but today the decline continues. A lot of people running around in DC are every bit as unscrupulous as LBJ. It seems to me the decline has been accelerated by our dependence on China.

#12 1965. The great project to "modernize" the roads by gutting the functioning middle class sections of the Big Cities and replacing neighborhoods with overhead roads. The central multiethnic neighborhoods were replaced by slums and bare lots.

#13 Not at all impossible. But the doing will be ugly until the usual suspects come to terms with the new rules. New York City did under Mayor Giuliano, after all.
