Excellent and succinct analysis, unfortunately true as well.
My next idea of what will happen to these blue cities is how the anarchy will become apocalyptic.
It will take longer for cities like LA and San Francisco because of the money in those cities, for cities like Chicago it won’t be that much longer before it becomes an apocalypse.
All these cities are run by an ideology of destruction, where people’s worth are simply voters to keep the overlords in power and to be plundered for whatever resources these people have.
Think back to NYC in the early 1900s when all different ethnic groups from Europe were coming into Ellis Island, eventually each ethnic group moved into their own neighborhoods and gangs like the Italian Mafia were formed to plunder the citizens and police the area from outsiders.
All these 3rd world illegals getting shipped into places Chicago will eventually do the same thing.
The resentment to what’s happening is already happening from the existing citizens, complaining about whatever resources that are available going to illegals before the citizens.
The violence between these ethnic groups will spike, each side will form ever more increasingly violent gangs who will battle in the streets with each other.
With the police forces getting defunded, there is nothing to slow down the violence, the current ethnic gangs will begin protecting their areas with violence against the gangs of other ethnic areas.
It will increasingly become the 21st century version of the wild wild west on the streets of Blue Cities.
