Democrats didn’t abandon the city. They “run” it. Republicans are the ones who run away and then watch the cities burn. White flight. Lazy whiners.

Well said. But I will give the ‘white flight’ folks a break here. Sometimes you look at the odds, and decide it’s time to just get your family outta Dodge.
Uh, Dems ruined several cities after the 1966-1967 riots (parts of LA, all of Detroit....) followed by dozens more.
True it’s on them. But happened for some time now.
I told him we’ve been through major periods of upheaval in our history and what they generally signify is a change in political eras. The Civil War. The Great Depression.
I told him the worst has only begun. But we’ll get through it, and the America that comes out of the other side of this bizarre period we’re going through is more likely to be a revivalist America than an AOC-Bernie Sanders Woke Soviet America because “there are too many people like us who won’t have this kind of thing.”
He agreed, though he said he was still terrified.
And he should be. Of course he should. The Great Upheaval will bring us to that next era, which will either give us Woke Soviet America or Revivalist America
What say you all?
Correct, Democrats are in charge.
