DNC surrogate ripped for claiming Democrat-run cities prove US not in decline: 'Is this a joke?'

A Democratic National Committee surrogate in Milwaukee ahead of the GOP debate was blasted on social media after disputing the notion that America is in "decline" under President Biden by pointing to the success of Democrat-run cities. 

"I would suggest that anybody who thinks that this country is in decline — come to cities!" Satya Rhodes-Conway, Madison, Wisconsin’s Democratic mayor, said during a press conference before the GOP debate on Wednesday. 

"Because Democrat mayors all across the nation are creating great places where people want to be. Where growth is happening, and where our economy is growing. This is not a nation in decline. This is a great nation, and it's made up of cities and people all across America again, that the president and the vice president are fighting for every day."

Rhodes-Conway touted the success of her town of Madison that she said is "driving the growth" of the state of Wisconsin.

The clip was widely criticized by Republicans on social media, with many pointing to the crime surge across the country that has occurred largely in cities run by Democrats.

"This was Milwaukee last weekend," Townhall Senior Writer Julio Rosas posted along with a news article detailing 27 people being shot there recently.

Homeless sleeping on the streets, in restrooms, under tunnels, Democrats aren’t bothered a bit by squalor and filth and suffering. Crime to them, it’s just something you have to learn to live with. They are insane. Rationalizing their actions impossible.

They have all become third world microcosms, but that’s what they like so they operate like insulated citadels of voter irregularities.

Of course they don't have to, nice and comfy in their gated communities.

It’s not hypocrisy — It’s doublethink.

Rhodes-Conway is an extreme radical lesbian. The only reason Madison isn’t in free fall is because of the city has a university, the state government, and the county government all flooding the city with money.

I haven’t been to the states since 2019. I always wonder if the decline is real or exaggerated. Everyone has an axe to grind, and you can see stuff on the internet, but I wonder how much of it is new and how much is business as usual.

They actually believe their own BS. That’s what makes them so dangerous.

If you take out Democrat-controlled urban cities, the murder rate in the USA drops below almost every country in the world.

An old warrior's advice:

As a Taoist, Sun Tzu takes a humanistic approach to war and conflict. For him,
the greatest victory isn't found in overcoming your opponent through strength,
cleverness, or force of will. It's in avoiding the battle altogether.

I avoid democrat run cities permanently.

People -— or some people, anyway — know better than that. When I see or think about those cities she touts, that’s where I see that the rot is the worst. Whom should I believe: her, or my own lying eyes?
