It may be beyond the reach of the political. It’s cultural, spiritual and moral. To so many, what is offensive, wrong and ungodly to us is completely right to them and vice-versa. They willingly and excitedly vote against their interests.

I was scrolling through some upscale neighborhoods on Google Maps in Durham, NC, just a few moments ago. The street-level pics were taken earlier this year. Plastered in these wealthy areas were scores of Bernie Sanders for President yardsigns. The very wealth that enabled these folks to be able to live in these houses would be obliterated by Sanders, who has never worked a real job for the long haul in the private sector (because he was an utter failure at it - he was even a failure when he lived at a commune because he refused to do basic chores, instead preaching the gospel of Marxism to the rubes as a way to get out of it. They, of course, kicked him out).

These folks should swap homes with the “po” on the east side of Durham and live in their shacks, hovels and slums, if they had any credibility. Gift their homes to those “disadvantaged minorities” in order to make up for their “White privilege.” Funny thing is, if that was done, those formerly rich neighborhoods would become slums in short order and the poor neighborhoods with the (former) rich Whites would become low crime and more desirable.

Most folks don’t end up destitute or in dire straits because of anything other than poor choices in their lives, being told that what’s wrong is actually right and following that bad course. It’s decades of cultural brainwashing and educational indoctrination. One political party HAS to keep Blacks and Hispanics impoverished and ignorant and perpetually aggrieved while convincing enough Whites of higher income that they should rightly feel bad for their ill-gotten gains on the backs of the “po.”

How to undo it will take decades. Too many are so deeply enmeshed into the madness that they’re a lost cause. Ending welfare at the federal and state levels is a start. Welfare should be strictly local and private. They know the people they’re dealing with and can discern those in real need (which even most hardcore anti-welfare Conservatives do not oppose) vs. those playing the system.

Getting more Conservative “Free Enterprise” types into the educational system is paramount, too. Unfortunately, public ed being a critical tool in the Marxist belt, they don’t want teachers who intend to produce excellent results (especially those of the aforementioned targeted minorities). It makes them look incompetent, if not criminally negligent. They don’t want the Jaime Escalantes, because it blows a hole in the myth of non-White students not being able to achieve (when they can with the right teachers and teaching methods).

What’s really sickening is that before the court-ordered integration of schools, most teachers in non-White schools would never have tolerated the level of ignorance and cultural rot we’ve seen on display now since the 1960s. The schools may have been woefully underfunded, but they made do with the meager resources of the era and produced better people.

The most a Conservative Mayor could do would be to focus on crime rates, which is the easy part. But getting control of education (as some have the power to do) and demanding much higher standards is much harder, because teachers and the unions will fight like hell to keep things status quo except for increasing their salaries and benefits. They make out like bandits and the kids (and the parents paying for them through their taxes) get robbed and left for dead.

Anyway, whole books have been written about the subject. The way to solve them isn’t impossible, but the system itself is the immoveable force that doesn’t want change, because it puts the bad guys out of business.
