What's wrong with urban voters?
American Thinker ^ | 17 Nov, 2023 | Earick Ward

At first glance, the divisions between Left and Right seem insurmountable, and while it is no doubt that we are in the midst of a great conflict and that battle lines have been clearly drawn, we should take a step back and take stock of where we’re at, who we are, and what must we do to broaden our appeal to those who haven’t historically voted Republican.

Frankly, it is remarkable that any American, other than hard-core leftists, votes for the Democrat Party. Many Democrats either vote by rote or have been deceived. Today’s Democrat Party is not your father’s (or grandfathers) Democratic Party and have completely gone Marxist/Leninist/Maoist. The Obama/Biden years can be a wake-up call, as a majority of Americans believe that we are on the wrong track -- domestically, internationally, culturally, and economically.

The Belly of the Beast Initiative is a personal project designed to document the plight of historically Democrat constituencies, how their loyalty has proven detrimental to their current circumstances, and how conservatives might appeal to them that there might be a better way forward. These groups include:

- Blacks

- Hispanics

- Students (millennials, gen-x)

- Jews

- LGBTQ+

- Union members

- Catholics

- Suburban women

- Urbanites

- RINOs

There has been much discussion of the rapid deterioration of leftist-run urban centers, due to rampant violent crime (soft-on-crime DAs), failing schools (entrenched education unions), drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, mental illness, and an increased blight in residential, retail, and commercial real estate.

Dan Bongino often states on his podcast;

Things are just not bad enough yet for a lot of people to wake up from the Kool-Aid slumber.

It may be time for some kind of separation. If these groups want to vote this way then they need to live together away from those of us who find leftism/marxism repulsive.

Cheating is FAR easier in urban areas than rural due to the distance between drop boxes and polling booths.

Also, controlling the prevailing courts is also easier

Cheating has always been a way of life in cities. In the electronic age, it is bigger, faster. Now that blacks own cities, any digging into the weeds just creates “racist” cries. Smart back people leave. The rest cannot run anything, look at every failed African state.

They are given paradise; South Africa, and they F’d it up. They rely on violence rather than their brains. Same with our cities. Same with Hamas. They have the capacity and the capability, they choose not to succeed.

The problem is just about every black leader blames whitey. It is too easy and we never fight back.

Nothing is wrong with urban voters, problem is the fake mail in ballots outnumber them.

“...how their loyalty has proven detrimental to their current circumstances,...”

______________________________________________

Conservatives have told themselves this over and over, but the Political Left also wonders why people in conservative area “vote against” their supposed interests. Conservatives may have to face the reality that these voters are getting everything they want from their Dem politicians. We’ll no more clearly when the election comes around, but don’t be surprised when all these blue counties/cities keep voting overwhelmingly to keep their politicians.

Things will never will be bad enough.

The voters refered to here lack the fundament sense of self preservation.

They must fight hate.

Hate is defined as anyone who disagrees with them.

They support even worship leaders who tell them they are right regardless of the pain they inflict on them.

Their whole construct violates natural law, yet there they are.

Printed fiat money and bloated government debt used to direct spending to preferred political regions and groups (especially over many decades) - can create A LOT of direct dependents and ideological supporters, who believe themselves to be “free and independent thinkers” but in fact, are part of the hive-mind.

There it is.

The type of people that prefer urban living are the issue.

People I know from urban areas tend to “group think.” I always assumed group think is a way of survival in cramped living conditions. People in less crowded living conditions do not need to think like their neighbors.

It doesn’t have to be the entire urban area, either...just a few precincts as we have seen in places with 120% turnout for the dumblecrat.

This.

There is no way I believe that most urban dwellers are so civic-minded as to get the vote totals we normally see.

With the majority of the press being left wing, it’s easy to believe that, even though you voted right, the majority voted left.

Even if that didn’t actually happen.
