Five minute video tour of downtown Los Angeles
Twitter ^ | October 16, 2022 | Benny Johnson

Video description:

I just drove through downtown L.A.

What is saw shocked me to the core.

3rd world conditions on *every* block. Tent cities. Filth. Drugs. People digging through, living in and eating trash. Broken lives everywhere.

This is not America.

See for yourself...

Pretty sad. All those Trump people in LA really ruined it.

It IS the America of our totalitarian rulers.

It is most definitely their America.

What the Democrats have done to America’s cities is unconscionable. For that alone the country should have tossed them out on their ear.

Legalize pot, don't enforce drug laws make needles available and pretty soon people don't care about anything else except where they can get their next drug fix.

The rot starts from the bottom up in the social order but eventually it will get to the top.

Many of us here have seen the better America and are no witnessing the decline. It’s more than sad, more than tragic. There are no adequate words for this decline, and no excuse for those whose ideological fixation has led to this.

Bulldozing the homes of the entertainment industry leftwing nitwits who financed the destruction would be great way to start the cleanup, particularly if they were home at the time.

I’m afraid it’s a picture of America, under Democrat policies.

“ This is not America.”

Actually, it is, and has been more and more the last few decades. And it makes little difference which party controls the presidency or Congress. No politician or political movement can cure what ails us.

Culture matters.

This is the picture of Marxism/Communism!

Been there and saw it in Russia as well as many places in Eastern Europe!
