Complicit definitely! Mugged by the reality of impending full martial law and all it entails.

“mugged by reality? Or complicit?”

Complicit with virtually no fear of reprisal. Sure, Cuomo expressed some discontent, but that is only because he runs state wide and has to try to keep the soccer moms from upstate on his side.

The rest will be easily re-elected. Rewarded for their sabotage of America.

They don’t care about what is happening to their constituents.

And, rather than EVER admit that Trump is correct, they’ll let the mayhem continue without help from the feds. Do not agree with Trump on anything. If it’s noon, by golly you say it’s midnight. Grrrrrrrrr

“They don’t care about what is happening to their constituents.”

They will all be reelected by their constituents.

They don’t want to be voted out so they let the riots go on and will continue to go on. Can’t be tough like Trump. Gotta stay loyal to the leftist cause! Orange man bad!

Lost in the mix...

There has been more white on black violence in the past week than, cumulatively and quantitively, white on black violence during the entire post-modern Jim Crow era (1910-1968).

As usual, the whites are all Democrats or leftist-leaning communists.

This is the truth. I live in CA (for two more months) and we have nearly 100% Democrats in office around here. Some one-off mayors can be GOP, but all State, Federal and Union/Schools, etc. are all Dems.

I am represented by Heels Up, DiFi and Gavin. Plus the local Dems who are concerned with Global Warming and illegal immigrant healthcare. Or raising taxes and fees. It’s a cluster.

That is a frightening scene.

It really makes you wonder about De Blasio’s motives. His administration only functioned because NY City is the home of financial trading in US dollar securities, the worlds reserve currency. NY City and State used to be a large, balanced economy, but globalists and leftists hollowed that out over the past decades. De Blasio’s marxist, SJW regime and City (and the State) government only survive because of the skimmings from that.

If he purposely drives people and money out - which will certainly occur now - the city (and State) will collapse. Badly.

If I, a normal citizen with no power or inside information knows this - how much more is he aware of it?

Hope so. Looks like they are attempting to let people suffer and think they have license to get away with it.

These bullies hectored and lectured business owners and law-abiding citizens for daring to ask that the government respect their Constitutional rights - all because the virus had to be contained. Yet they are effing MUTE with thugs and criminals running rampant every which way. What, thugs and criminals are immune to viruses?

If one good thing comes out of this craziness, perhaps the country can see the inherent BS of this lockdown. Yeah, the FluBros and FluBras were right after all.

I lived in the Detroit area in the early 90’s. That is EXACTLY what had happened.

The riots in the late 60’s, followed by Coleman Young’s in-your-face black power administration, forced hundreds of thousands of residents to flee the city. For the most part they were white residents. The city’s tax and business base collapsed while the suburbs north of 8 Mile became some of the wealthiest communities in the United States.

This had racial implications as well. A 1990 Detroit News study of census data revealed that the population of Detroit was 80% black, while in the five largest suburbs with a total population of 500K they could identify only 3000 black households. (this has since changed as black residents with a brain started fleeing the city too). In some places crossing 8 Mile was like crossing the Mexican border.

My point is that we have an actual real-world lab experiment that proves what will happen, and yet Democrat city leaders from coast to coast choose to IGNORE it.

Given enough time and effort, Dems will make every city Detroit.
