Blue States Slammed with Multiple Interlocking Crises

There's always that last straw that breaks the camel's back. Now there is a pile of straw that is about to break the American donkey's back. There is ample evidence of that.

Recently, the United States has faced not one, but two serious crises that have demonstrated a complete incompetence of local Democratic governments and aggravated the issues they already had. The crises we're talking about are COVID-19 and nationwide protests accompanied by violence and crime. Even though the recent touted "research" suggests that 90 percent of those protests were peaceful (would you like to be on a diet that is 90 percent non-poisonous?), that does not negate the fact that the interim results are far from the declared goals. Black lives (along with all other lives) are now more endangered by increased crime than they were before. Violent crime is on the rise in the cities that rallied the hardest demanding racial justice — Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Portland, D.C., Baltimore, Minneapolis, and Seattle.

These processes are superimposed on economic recession caused by the unnecessary shutdowns of businesses and schools. The economy — President Trump's greatest achievement — has been hit hard and mercilessly. The current‑dollar GDP decreased 34.3 percent, or $2.15 trillion, in the second quarter to a level of $19.41 trillion, adding to the first quarter's loss of $186.3 billion. Fifty million people found themselves jobless and with quickly thinning finances. The Democrats in Congress hindered much needed economic relief packages in late March, in May, and then in early August, insisting on more funds to be sent to their failing states while Republican lawmakers proposed to focus on small business support.

" Basically, Democrats would redistribute billions of dollars of aid from the working red states to the blue locked down states — it would be only "kind" and therefore "just."

Just like looting/stealing is a form of reparations as shouted over a bullhorn by the pink corn-rowed Black....another Marxist trained useful idiot.

Each one of those blue states/blue cities, is a mini-socialist state that failed or is failing.

No country has ever survived a socialist takeover, and those cities and states are just the beginning of what they whole country could turn into.

Socialism never works, and has never worked anywhere or anytime it’s been tried.

Logically, socialism could never work. It’s impossible.

I would posit that a substantial percentage of the “Demonic POS Scumbags” acquired office through less than honorable means.

The biggest one is being dumb enough to elect Democrats.
