The members of the GOP wing of the Uniparty are not weak and groveling. Look at how steadfastly they stand up to conservatives.

They seem to have forgotten that they ran into a brick wall when it came to Trump and the voters, though. I suspect that they will try again, however.

Correct. Left-wing indoctrination destroys character. And character was one of the founding principles of the USA; as John Adams pointed, the Constitution cannot rule an irreligious, amoral mob, but it surely can punish them.

I *wholeheartedly* disagree with your thesis.

The urbanites deserve all the corruption and graft that they stupidly vote for, decade after decade.

They have to suffer the consequences of their own folly. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, else will change their attitudes.

Its up to us to shield ourselves and our loved ones from their idiocy.

Please do something about the corruption!

Progressive social and cultural disorganization, decline, decay, and destruction is the result of libtardism:

-rise in lawlessness
-loss of economic discipline and self-restraint
-expansion of taxation government bureaucracy, and regulation
-decline in education
-weakingn of cultural foundations and loss or respect of tradition
-increasing materialism and immorality
-devaluling of human life.

To correct these requires the utter overthrow of libtardism.

He’s going to be President.
Not a Dictator.
Not God.

The people in those cities have to clean them up.

“Oh, please, could we have a righteous leader who cleans up our cities and stomps out the corruption. Please...”
And make sure that any law passed by congress applies to ALL citizens, even and especially those in government. No exemptions for anyone. All laws apply equally to both prince and pauper.

A lot of these problems are at the state and local level. That is a real problem, but not one solved by a takeover by the federal government. Obama already started the federalization of police, only in the wrong direction, so that needs to be undone.

These are State and local matters.

I agree.

You're asking for the dissolution of Federalism which is acquiescent support of future centralized tyranny, IMO.

Try your thinking in reverse. Democrats advocating for the Feds to make the cities how they want them. Think 'sanctuary city'. (federal funding should be withheld as it is federal law being ignored/unenforced)

OH, WAIT! Federal meddling has already happened and it's the very thing you're complaining about! And the States said, "Baaaaaaa" all the way home.
