The Libertarian Californication of Miami
American Thinker ^ | 31 May, 2021 | Ernesto J. Antunez

Posted on 05/31/2021 3:58:41 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The libertarians over at Reason recently ran a piece reflecting favorably on the plans of Miami's mayor, Francis Suarez, to turn the Magic City into an "un-woke, pro-bitcoin, tech billionaire's paradise." Mayor Suarez is a nominal Republican who voted for Andrew Gillum in the latest gubernatorial race in Florida and has been consistently at odds with the Trumpian governor of that state, Ron DeSantis. Suarez has ridden his family name and connections (his father was the first Cuban-born mayor of Miami) into a political career that has reached its (current) zenith with his landslide election as Miami's mayor in 2017. Seizing on an opportunity to gain the favor of Silicon Valley potentates fleeing oppressive tax regimes in blue states, Mayor Suarez has offered them the keys to Miami.

There is a saying among the bolder sectors of the right that those who "import the third world become the third world." This is an abrasive way of putting things, but it reflects the fundamental truth that unwanted socio-political changes necessarily follow from the demographic changes that occur in civilized countries as a result of immigration from barbarous alien nations. Among civilized societies engaged in debilitating identity crises (as most Western societies are at the moment), such socio-political changes tend to become permanent as the incoming immigrant populations eschew all feeble invitations to "assimilate" (into what?) or even decide to take the cues from certain elites within their new host societies to emphasize their alien cultural identities for the sake of "diversity."

The gentrified flip-side to this ghettoization by gruffy "third-world" immigrants is the socio-political changes brought about by the transplantation of dissolute monied liberals from their progressive enclaves into more conservative areas of the country. To put it simply, those who "import Silicon Valley become Silicon Valley."

Progressive billionaires are a deadly virus to a civil society. They can’t stop trying to transform everything around them into utopia (hell).

“import the third world become the third world.”

Europe is realizing that reality.

It’s not too late for America.

When you import goods manufactured in the 3rd you import their standard of living as well.

A billionaire activist like Zuckerberg can buy politicians and elections to transform the state.

My solution is to give them what they ask for: higher taxes on themselves.

A Demonrat. Suarez has a lot in common with the odious leftist FAKE Republican Mayor of Oklahoma City. Their moonbat bonafides are off the charts.

Miami is a non-partisan race (Suarez effectively was endorsed by BOTH parties). OK City is also non-partisan. Holt, who was a GOP State Senator(!), was effectively coronated by the political establishment, won in 2018 in a landslide (79%). Holt passed his Senate seat off to a Demonrat.

Holt should’ve set off warning bells with his rapidly left-moving record. Started off with about 80% Conservative in 2014, dropped to 48% by his last year when he became Mayor.
