What the opening of this piece should have said:
“With crime down and with fears of terrorism receding, voters are free to focus on issues such as income inequality and affordable housing—and forget about how crime got down and fears of terrorism receded in the first place and elect a leftist moron who will restore crime to the streets and drive business away turning places like Times Square back into the filth infested dumps they once were.”
And so the cycle of idiocy continues. The leftists destroy, the conservatives are called in to rebuild, the voters forget how things got rebuilt and elect the liberals. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Exactamundo!
The pea brained liberals have a hard time connecting cause and effect. Might it be that the cause of the supposedly lower crime rate is the “stop-and-frisk policy” which de Blasio said he would quickly do away with?
