Children don’t matter to demonrats. They never did. Just like “racism”, “children” are a tool to appeal to the inner hearts of humankind. The problem is that “racism” is being watered down but somehow the use of “children” has never been watered down.
We need to stop saying well if the story had taken place at such-and-such and it was on some lame arse news channel then it “would matter”. The truth of it is that to most people if it is not in their hemisphere of their life it doesn’t matter. It’s all words and noise to them until it affects them. Truth is most people don’t give a crap until it affects them and when it does then they want to move heaven and earth as to why this happened and pour money into it to fix it. Do they they want to fix it even though it affects them? Nope. AH heck no. They want someone else to do it.
This will be a flash in the pan and the fire won’t be put out it will burn like a mine burns under the surface. The demonrats will let the mine burn while people on the surface go about their daily lives until one day the mine collapses in one part and then the voices will rise as to why this is happening and what is being done about it. Then those voices will return to their hemisphere carrying on with their daily lives nose deep into their devices longing to be any where else but where they are.
Pervasive is a good word. Pervasive corruption, that is the underlying theme here. These cities have tons of money. They tax and spend like crazy. The Dems who run these cities and send federal pork dollars to these cities all have the political philosophy that more government = more better but all the evidence over the decades show this to be completely untrue. There is no accountability. The corruption is endemic to the Democrat machine. Races, Ages, Ethnicities, Sexes these are just wedges used to ensure that their political machines are well greased with taxpayer dollars. It has to be brought down.
The Dems have a machine that greases unions, big developers, and narrow special interests. But at the end of the day, their methods fail just about everyone in just about every way. A system that encourages private ownership, private property, fiscal responsibility, accountability, free market, low taxes and minimal regulatory burden and individual liberty is the path to prosperity. The Democrats political machinations brings only decline, decay, debt, and dependency.
