much longer can “blue” big cities hang on? Yes, to twist Adam Smith a bit, “There is a great deal of ruin in a big Democrat city.” But I’ve still got to wonder if now we are seeing those cities be simply unable to manage any more of it!
Because no matter how frantically defensive many Democrats get when it is brought up, those cities have indeed moved HARD to the Left.
There is a massive difference between being governed by 20th century and early 21st century Democrats and what the party has become in 2025. When Zohran Mamdani gets into office, he won’t be reminding any older Manhattanites of Ed Koch or David Dinkins. In Los Angeles, Karen Bass has more in common with the late Fidel Castro than she does with Tom Bradley.
… It’s legit to ask if the Democrats can completely destroy the one or all of the three most populous cities in the United States of America. Ten years ago, I would have bet on an eventual course-correction in New York and Los Angeles. Chicago has been actively seeking “lost cause” status for a long time.
Now, I think any insane eventuality is on the table when it comes to the Trump-era Dems. I don’t expect the post-Trump Democrats to get any better.
MANY run-of-the-mill were absolutely fooled into an MSM-inspired white-hot hatred of Donald Trump. Yes, it was always wrong and has become a frank mental illness.
Manhattan-based psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert told Fox News on Friday that “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS) is a real psychological issue he has seen firsthand in his practice, with three-quarters of his patients exhibiting symptoms.
But the problem is, at heart, not really about Trump at all. No, it is a hatred of all things conservative cloaked in the robes of, “I just hat Donald Trump.”
But that charade is rapidly coming to an end. The Kabuki dance cannot be maintained forever. To be honest, I am surprised it has lasted this long–10 years!
But don’t be a buck-toothed hayseed–this will FAR outlive the Trump administration. It is narcissistic insult, and next is Vance Derangement Syndrome (and it has already started). And someone else will take that mantle after Vance…
It is NOT about Trump or Vance or even a huge squish RINO like Romney. It is about narcissistic insult and a non-Democrat! And ANY non-Democrat will be “literally Hitler™.”
