Thomas B. Edsall Admits: Dems Are in Deep Feces
Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | April 19, 2018 | Rush Limbaugh

RUSH: There’s also a piece today by Thomas B. Edsall. Now, let me remind you who this guy is. Thomas B. Edsall, if I’m not mistaken, has written for the Washington Post. Now he’s with the New York Times. Although he may have always been with the Times. I’m not sure. But it was Thomas B. Edsall that in November of 2011 wrote a piece published in, I think, the New York Times/Washington Post — again, I don’t recall — in which he made it clear…

He was writing almost as a member of the Obama presidential campaign strategy team, and he was writing that the Obama Democrat Party was going to officially write off the “white working class vote” for the 2012 Obama reelection effort and would instead focus on the rising total of minorities and use that as the targeted base. Because the white working class didn’t like Obama much to begin with. They were Reagan Democrats of old.

That’s how I remember Thomas B. Edsall. So they basically went out and said, “We’re not interested in the white working class. They don’t fit the Obama mode. They the old America. They don’t represent the future,” and the Obama team said, “We’re throwing in with the future,” which was illegal immigrants and any other minority group they could find to put in their coalition. Well, Thomas B. Edsall is back.He has a piece here at the New York Times called “The Democrats’ Gentrification Problem.” Now, I’m not gonna go into detail now, but it’s coming up later, and I’m gonna tell you what this is basically asserting. And he’s right. “The Democrats’ Gentrification Problem” is that the Democrats are the ones creating the gap between the haves and have-nots in the cities that they run, and he cites San Francisco.

He says (paraphrased): Look at all of the improvements that are happening for the rich and for the elite, the people that live near the coast or on the coast. And then you look where everybody else lives, and you have to have a map of where piles of feces are for the tourists and the residents so they can avoid it. You have to have another map where the used needles and other drug paraphernalia litter the streets. Then you have to have another map that shows tourists where to avoid the puke and the vomit. And then another map to show them where to avoid homeless enclaves.

Thomas B. Edsall is essentially indicting Democrats for creating this tremendous and widening gap between haves and have-nots. He starts out by saying, “The nation’s largest cities and metropolitan areas — home to a majority of Democratic voters — are at the forefront of the party’s most vexing racial, ethnic and class conflicts.” It’s a long piece, but there’s some excerpts in it. It’s kind of brave, actually. You don’t see the media blaming wealthy Democrats as the problem for poor Democrats.

But let me help and sum this up. Let me give you — and I just did some — the practical manifestation of liberalism. Let me give you a list of things that you can count on happening, to one degree or another, anyplace that is run unchecked by massive liberal, authoritarian-type power. Homelessness. Wherever liberals and Democrats run things with no opposition, homelessness abounds. Dirty needles on the street bound. Now human feces in the street!

San Francisco. You can’t get a more liberal-dominant city anywhere. Maybe Seattle. The great liberal utopia, the great liberal experiment! Massive homelessness, dirty needles strewn everywhere on the street, human feces in the street. I think along with this map that they’re making to help people avoid the piles of feces out there, maybe revive the old Tiny Tim song (singing), “Tiptoe through the feces with me.” Liberal tour guides and try to turn it into some kind of fun.

You also have — you can guarantee that you are going to have — ridiculously high taxes. Wherever liberals run the show with no opposition that counts, you have single-party rule; an intolerant, lawless party. You’re going to have sanctuary cities and sanctuary enclaves where noncitizen criminals are going to be welcomed to the neighborhood. And the noncitizen illegal immigrant criminals are going to be sheltered and protected from federal law enforcement, just as is happening in San Francisco. So if you live in a place run by the left, this is what you have to look forward to! There’s a poll in California that says 59% of Californians want increased deportations. They probably want less feces in the streets too, but nobody’s gonna listen.

Wouldn’t want to avoid one and not the other.

(Someone had to say it)

The DIMs have devolved as a group into BEING deep doo doo. Only those insane, misinformed or stupid vote for them for any position of responsibility or authority at any level.

I hate giving the Slimes any clicks, but Edsall’s article is an interesting read. Basically it says the upwardly mobile Zuckerberg Techies who are taking over big blue cities are hypocrites when it comes to living up to their own expressed Liberal values on redistributing wealth.

This is opening chasms between themselves and the poorer, minority parts of the Left Coalition that could rip it apart.

Well, when your only purpose in life is to pit one group against another, then you don’t have much.

A group that thrives on hatred and animosity is rotten to the core and just plain evil.

My best friend of 40 years and his wife proclaimed themselves independent as long as I’d known him and then her, and proudly “came out” (her words) for BJ’s wife a few days before Trump won.

Now they only excrete leftist memes and propaganda, and hate for Trump.

San Fran believes in this concept so much that they re-elect a demented 78 year old bag of feces to represent them in Congress.

Geeez, cut them loose! Very sad. Darn near a satanic choice they made. Gives me the shivers.

I think it goes hand in hand. Rich Marxists ( I refuse to call them Democrats) know the wealth gap is huge. They justify their high tax and spend policies because they FEAR what those poor people might do to them in the future. They pose and virtue signal to deflect being recognized as the 1%. Being so wealthy, they can afford homes in other countries if massive rioting breaks out, form “foundations” and “charities” to make it appear that they’re helping the poor when they’re really using them as tax shelters.

Sadly I have a brother who is the same way.

Has a very high-paying finance job and could by and sell the rest of us. Since the election he makes a very big show of hating Trump so as to stay in the good graces of the people in his workplace and social circles who think they’re all smarter and more erudite than the rest of us.

Another brother is a NeverTrumper because Trump is “not really a conservative” (i.e. his policies don’t conform to policy screeds from National Review and The Heritage Foundation in the 90’s)

Considering Ellison, Kamala Harris & Co., Feinstein is actually better. The white Demonrat’s have painted themselves in a corner by demonizing whites all these years. It won’t be long before those “minorities” cut their throats.

Here's a thought. For just ONE election cycle we on the right should plunk ALL of our votes on the biggest spread-the-wealth Socialists we can find. Our votes + those minorities would surely put them over the top.

Then watch the elite Left FREAK OUT because they've just gotten what they claimed they always wanted.

I can dream about that anyway.

I felt uneasy about Trump at first because he’s a New Yorker, period, but I’d give him a B+ so far. Maybe you should point that out to your conservative friend.

I understand the desire, but it consists of cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face. Many people in this country need to be disabused of their stupid notions about Socialism. I prefer sending them to live in Venezuela or Cuba for a year.
