What we’re seeing in the Democrat cities is a total breakdown of civilization. That’s not an exaggeration. You don't have a civilization when normal people can’t walk down the street without having to dodge junkies, piles of human waste, and knife-wielding maniacs. You have chaos. But chaos is OK with the inhabitants of the Democrat big cities. I know that because they keep electing people who allow their cities to be chaotic. I’m supposed to be outraged and upset by this, but my caring bandwidth is limited. I can only care about so much, and what I cannot do is care more about the plight that the blue voters have placed themselves in than the blue voters who elected the Democrats who allow this to happen do.
Blue cities, this is your problem, not mine. I don’t live in one. I live near one, but not inside it. Instead, I live in a suburb around many rich liberals who absolutely will not tolerate such nonsense. Our schools never have 0% of the students testing as proficient, like in blue Baltimore. The moms would never allow that. Instead, they prepare our kids to go to Ivy League colleges. Our streets are safe to walk, and whenever a random loser sets foot in our little Shangri-La by the Beach, a bunch of very big cops come with the total support of the Chardonnay wine mommies with the “Hate Has No Home Here” signs in front of their multi-million dollar townhouses and descend upon them like the Valkyries. You don’t hear complaints about cops hassling street people in my town. You don’t get complaints about police brutality. What you get is safe and clean streets.
Misery is for the poor, but the poor could outvote the Volvo voters if they wanted to. They choose not to. They choose to elect leftist Democrats with rich libs’ luxury beliefs, and their choice has consequences.
Understand me. I don’t think that people in blue cities should not have safe and clean streets. I think they should. But they don’t think they should. And I know they don’t think they should because they refuse to elect people who will ensure they do. Don’t tell me that these problems are intractable and unsolvable because we watched Rudy Giuliani take New York City back from the Taxi Driver abyss when it was equally scummy and turn it into an urban paradise. I remember my first trip to New York City. It was fantastic. I didn’t worry about getting mugged. I didn’t worry about violent vagrants. I just enjoyed the nightlife and restaurants. But the people of New York City decided they wanted to go in a different direction. They wanted to go down, down into the depths of hell. And now that they are down there, they seem sad. Well, I would be sad for them, but there are a lot of other things I have to be sad about, and their bad choices are at the end of that long list.
Of course, it was inevitable that murder and other social pathologies would not remain just a problem for the poor. The chaos is affecting the libs of pallor, so the libs of pallor who have not bolted to the suburbs are starting to get concerned. In the last week, a tech zillionaire was butchered by a violent criminal who should have been in prison but was let out because Maryland thinks it’s meant to lock up rapists. Another guy, a big defund the police moron, got stabbed by the same kind of degenerate in New York while his commie girlfriend watched and then refused to give cops a description because she didn’t want to see the guy charged. When the cops did find the killer, the regime media decided to play along with the criminals-as-victim lie by blurring his face. This, of course, did not apply to the guy who restrained a different violent lunatic on an NYC subway and who is now charged with manslaughter because that lunatic expired. The hero – again, who is being prosecuted for protecting people from one of these freaks – had his face put out there unblurred. This is what is known as “equity.”
I am also told on Twitter or X or whatever that I am not supposed to gloat over the misfortune of those who created their own misfortune, including this leftist creep’s death. I don’t recall gloating, but I do recall shrugging. Naturally, it took about five seconds to find the tweets where this jerk chortled over the passing of Rush Limbaugh. Basically, this guy was delighted at the thought of our deaths, but we’re not supposed to recognize that for some reason. Well, I do anyway. Once again, we are required to follow arbitrary rules that our enemies ignore – and yes, I consider somebody who would celebrate my death an enemy. I’m funny about that.
But I’m not gloating because I’m not going to waste a second of my time thinking about this guy because he didn’t waste a second of his time thinking about himself. His death directly results from the very same policies he actively pursued. I understand that consequences are racist and transphobic and part of the patriarchy, but they’re also a thing. I will point out that he and others like him made the reality that killed him. If that makes people sad, I don’t care. And if they think that makes me a wrong person, go ahead and think that. I am entirely indifferent to the moral judgments of people who refuse to take the essential actions required to maintain a civilized society.
San Francisco is in danger of losing 50% of its police force. Seattle and the other blue cities are pretty much the same. Turns out that if you defund the police, you get less of them – and more murderers and rapists. They are also all sanctuary cities because being a sanctuary city was hip and cool until it started to cost something. Now, they are being overrun by Third World transients and the domestic variety, and it’s costing them a fortune. Good. I want them to feel the pain of their own stupidity instead of Texas feeling it for them. For too long, they were able to posture without a price, but now that bill is coming due. And when they cry to us for help, we will shrug our collective shoulders and observe that we can’t and won’t help them until they decide to help themselves.
What we’re seeing in the Democrat cities is a total breakdown of civilization, deliberately!
I smile when democrats meet their demise because of what they voted for.
A lot of this is due to judges making cities ungovernable.
To say that Big Cities can’t elect good people, that’s bunk. New York City elected Rudy Giuliani as mayor, and for 20 years New York became a safe and prosperous place.
Future federal judges below the Supreme Court level might be paid by the case.
Cities might get to annually decide which federal judges will get to serve their particular city. Judge Boise might not get much work.
This is a feature in Communist societies- allow the crimes to be committed, but prosecute and jail the people who defend themselves.

In 1984, de Blasio worked for the Urban Fellows Program at the New York City Department of Juvenile Justice. In 1987, shortly after completing graduate school at Columbia, de Blasio was hired to work as a political organizer by the Quixote Center in Maryland. In 1988, he traveled with the Quixote Center to Nicaragua for 10 days to help distribute food and medicine during the Nicaraguan Revolution. De Blasio was an ardent supporter of the ruling socialist government, the Sandinista National Liberation Front, which was opposed by the Reagan administration at the time. After returning from Nicaragua, de Blasio moved to New York City, where he worked for a nonprofit organization focused on improving health care in Central America. He continued to support the Sandinistas in his spare time and joined a group called the Nicaragua Solidarity Network of Greater New York, which held meetings and fundraisers for the Sandinista political party. De Blasio’s introduction to city politics came in 1989, when he worked as a volunteer coordinator for David Dinkins’ mayoral campaign. Following the campaign, de Blasio was an aide in City Hall. In 1990, he described himself as an advocate for democratic socialism when asked about his goals for society.
U.S. Representative Charles Rangel tapped de Blasio to be his campaign manager for his successful 1994 reelection bid. In 1997, he was appointed to serve as the regional director for the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for New York and New Jersey under the administration of President Bill Clinton. As the tri-state region’s highest-ranking HUD official, de Blasio led a small executive staff and took part in outreach to residents of substandard housing. In 1999, he was elected to be a school board member for Brooklyn School District 15. In 2000, he served as campaign manager for Hillary Clinton’s successful United States Senate bid.

Que up the disco music. The USA is now one massive "That 70's Show".
We just witnessed another TET offensive in Gaza. Wow, so many parallels to that time period.
Back in the day before globalism, cities were messed up but they produced goods that the rest of the USA needed. Money flowed in and products flowed out. Now cities are money sucks and ghettos. We offshored wealth creation to the 3rd world now WE are the 3rd world. See how that works?
I am worried each city will be mini Gaza and every now and then they will forray out into the burbs “to get some”.
Was over half way through before Schlichter came to mind. Less acerbic than usual, but no less sensible. My favorite line:
“I understand that consequences are racist and transphobic and part of the patriarchy, but they’re also a thing.”
Pick a random auto manufacturing plant in the U.S. today … the Honda plant in Marysville (Ohio), for example. Then find a location in New York City or Chicago where anything close to that size could fit.
That’s why they call liberalism a mental disorder.
Been saying that for years. Cities are the shxtholes of society. Rampant crime, drugs, homelessness all run by liberal scum. I bypass every city possible in my travels.
He’s always so good.
I never said it doesn’t, so stop posting misleading crap.
New York City, on the other hand, does not — and anyone who has been there, or even just looked at an aerial photo of the place, would know that. You can’t even build a Dollar General store there without tearing down something else.
“...but NY is infected with too many Rats and illegals...”
So are the hellholes of PA, IL, NJ, MD, CT, MI, WA, OR etc etc etc. Sad comment on societal “progress”.
