It’s bad rhetoric. Instead of starting with a point all of us would agree with [Marxists in local gubmint destroying their cities] he starts with a point that many of us disagree with. Why? To draw us in and win us over?
As I said I have no desire to visit Las Vegas. That doesn’t mean I do care that the city is being besieged by Democrat Visigoths. We are one nation and the misfortune of one state has an impact on us all.
Las Vegas has the unfortunate position of being a one industry town, tourism. I don’t imagine Reno is any better.
I have no hatred for Las Vegas (Sin City) and I agree that the entire Lock Down of the economy for the non-pandemic is pure foolishness.
