Leftists have no concept of reality, just like other categories of insane people.

“Leftists have no concept of reality”
-
That’s exactly why I don’t believe there is much common ground with them anymore.

They possess very little if any desire to compromise at all....they’re a lot like muslims that way......you agree with them or you must be destroyed.

Yes, NYC will lose some high income, productive people,,,,but there is a bright side here.

The positive aspect is that NYC will attract many of the useless leeches from other states—thereby helping many other states.

The difference between leftists and conservatives is this.

Leftists look at the world as it is and see injustices everywhere and want to blow up the status quo and replace it with the same tried, repackaged, feel-good ideas that have failed whenever they have been tried in the past.

Conservatives look at the world as it is and try to make the best of it using hard learned lessons from the past of what works and what doesn’t.

That difference is captured brilliantly and poetically in the poem by Kipling - “The Gods of the Copybook Headings”. It should be the anthem of conservatism.
