cannot access Millie Weaver’s own video on this, so posting what is a relatively sober interview from Alex Jones show. vitally important everyone sees this. I have been trying to show connections between the BLM/Antifa riots and The Sunrise Movement. Millie has the story. her Skype cuts out briefly a couple of times:

VIDEO: 1h31m in to 2h12m: 30 Jul: Millie Weaver on undercover in Sunrise Movement/100 Day Siege plan - to hit homes of Republicans etc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCNyMVVamHM

One cannot save something that doesn’t want to be saved. The cities are their own worst enemies. Until they “repent” they fill continue to fail

Assuming there are enough decent people in the cities that will stop voting for corrupt dem-o-rats who promise free sh*t.

President Trump brashly claimed, "All Democrat-run cities, in every case, they're going to hell."

Unfortunately, the people living in democrat hell-hole cities choose to reelect their democrat master - over and over and over again.

You can't fix stupid!

I contend that the biggest problem conservatives and Christians have is our media and education systems, which have brainwashed America.

Ignorant and brainwashed people do not understand cause and effect; ignorant and brainwashed people do not think critically; ignorant and brainwashed people do not understand or embrace the Constitution.

Sounds nice in theory. Republicans have been running mayor candidates in Pittsburgh, including some with aggressive well financed campaigns. The fact that the ring suburban counties flipped the Commonwealth (and the 2016 election) to Donald J. Trump, proves that someone other than leftbot idiots live in this area.

But the fact remains that Pittsburgh last had a Republican mayor in 1934 or so.

It's late, but start with Seattle and Portland. Both mayors up for re-election with no Republican opponents.

It's hard to believe that Rudy Giuliani and Kaiser Wilhelm were elected as mayor of the same city.

I don't think there's much the GOP can do to attract urban voters that wouldn't turn them off completely to the party's base.

Never going to happen. Blacks makeup a huge portion of the population in the cities and will never give up the D brand. It’s their meal ticket into politics and the corruption that follows.

Cities are an outdated idea. They need to be broken up.

To Reclaim Cities, Republicans Must Re-Engage Them

___________________________________________________

After living in both Boston, and Atlanta, and “lesser cities” like Knoxville and Nashville, I have come to conclusions similar to Thomas Jefferson::

“I view great cities as pestilential to the morals, the health and the liberties of man. True, they nourish some of the elegant arts, but the useful ones can thrive elsewhere, and less perfection in the others, with more health, virtue & freedom, would be my choice.”

Cities are a necessary evil. Cities should serve the general welfare of the nation’s constituents, not visa-versa. They are to be given just enough liberty to specialize economically and enjoy their own unique freedoms (including some vices) which hare not easily attainable in rural areas. But they should not become nations unto themselves; and they should never subjugate the national interest to their interest of their urban elites.

These concerns give urban residents, roughly 81 percent of the total U.S. population, good reason to flee cities for suburbs and rural localities.

When you start with idiotic assumptions, your argument isn't going anywhere. The suburbs are part of that 81 percent urbanized according to the Census. The author seems to assume that the 81 percent only includes the inner cities if she talks about fleeing cities for the suburbs having any effect on that percentage.

Today, Republican mayors only oversee 13 of the 50 largest U.S. cities.

And of those 13, how many are dealing with ANTIFA/BLM the same way they are in Portland, et al?

Any as usual lackluster gop response to liberal cities would be an exercise of futility.

Spineless jelly fish have more backbone than the majority of gop senators.

“To Reclaim Cities, Republicans Must Re-Engage Them...”

A fool’s errand. The big cities are irretrievably gone. Don’t waste time and money.

“Ignorant and brainwashed people do not understand cause and effect; ignorant and brainwashed people do not think critically; ignorant and brainwashed people do not understand or embrace the Constitution.”

Ignorant and brainwashed people ARE the inhabitants of big democrat cities.

We are re-engaging them. That’s what we’re doing in Seattle, Portland and other cities. Ref. Operation Legend.

Oh, but they do, every time.
