Crime Political philosophy

Well, at some point

the facts demand that you change. Leftists just don’t want to even acknowledge the bad effects of their policies.

To quote MacBeth: “Out, damned spot!. … Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?”

Like Lady MacBeth, Democrats are now wandering dazedly around the terrible hellscape they created by their actions, muttering. They happily did what Leftism demanded, but they are now amazed that, “the old man [would] have had so much blood in him.

Why, then, is Soares one of the few pragmatic voices from this side of the political spectrum willing to speak out? For most black leaders, publicly discussing crime statistics, community norms, and the need to rein in recent reforms is still politically destructive. Indeed, among the influential elite, as well as the ideologically committed on the left, there remains a great reluctance to admit what everyday citizens know: that policing, prosecution, and incarceration are integral to public safety.

…Meantime, overwhelming evidence suggests that law enforcement reduces crime. A 2022 study found that each additional police officer abates about 0.1 homicides, and the effect is twice as strong for blacks as for whites.

LESSON: Don’t look to Democrats to keep you safe! They will sell you out in a heartbeat for the shiny bauble of self-aggrandizement laced with political correctness…

So when will

Leftists apologize?

That would be, uh, never.

In four years, we went from Democrats essentially saying we had to tolerate the lawless devastation of dozens of American city centers to fully endorsing armed 20-year-olds rifling through your bag before you use public transportation to deal with the ordinary criminality they allowed to fester.

… The murder rate during Covid lockdowns went down in nearly all of the Western world, but it spiked in America because Democrats actively supported political violence they perceived would help them win an election.

We need to understand the seismic shift going on. It would be foolish and counter-productive for Democrats to take comfort in the avoidant and self-serving idea that this is all about Trump the man, that this is just some kind of cult of personality.  

It isn’t. Not in the slightest. In fact, many people are going to vote for Trump in spite of his character flaws. But we have seen a side-by-side comparison between conservative policies and Lefty ones. And the Lefty ones just look bad. The data are in, for anyone with eyes to see.

Democrats are simultaneously hitting the panic button and desperately casting about for explanations as to why Trump is winning, but the answer is at once simple and overwhelming: They haven’t reckoned with the fact that the electorate, including a lot of traditionally Democrat constituencies, are starting to notice that in recent years the default right-of-center position on just about every major political issue has proven correct, where the left-wing ruling class has been quite definitively wrong.

It is very threatening to Democrats that this is NOT a cult-of-personality thing–THAT could just be waited out or otherwise dealt with. But no, this is the voice of the people condemning Leftism itself.

And so “Trump” is a threat on an existential level. The intensity of Lefty Trump hatred is fueled by fear–fear of annihilation and becoming… nothing.

Lefty empty-headed shills Moral Agency Political philosophy

It’s downright

scary. If you don’t agree, you are demonized and de-humanized. “Dark Brandon” has said that anyone, including the Supreme Court, who doesn’t bow to his Lefty will is an enemy, and must be destroyed. There is no loyal or reasoned opposition–only enemies of the Left to be destroyed. And he has already TWICE halfway-threatened to use atomic weapons and fighter jets against US civilians!

Yeah, scary! Because this is no idle threat–it is Leftism getting back to its philosophical roots. And a large portion of people would smugly go along with it…

It is no surprise.

At all. Look, in terms of fiscal policy, Democrats totally suck. Tale as old as time…

What is most remarkable is that, even with a huge AI boom enriching California tech firms like Nvidia, the state’s budget deficit has continued to expand, this time by $15 billion to a whopping $73 billion. That is in spite of the fact that tech booms tend to inflate California’s revenues enough to keep up with soaring costs. 

It really is no surprise. Democrats always reek rocks in terms explosive diarrhea spending. Always. Now I am certainly NOT saying that every Republican is good on this (because they’re not), but as a whole, Republicans are much better with public funds because Conservativism itself calls for fiscal restraint. Leftism just doesn’t–not even weakly.

The truth is,

not many of us can AFFORD to be a Liberal! So they are heading for more conservative places.

Is the blue state exodus from California, New York, and Illinois making red states like Florida, Texas, and South Carolina more liberal? Studies suggest the answer is no.

… The great escape from Blue states to Red states continued in 2023. California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, and Massachusetts are the five top states people are fleeing on an absolute basis according to a National Apartment List report on migration.

The truth is, when people are allowed to choose, they DON’T often choose Leftism. THAT is why Leftism is so against moral agency! At heart, Leftism is about force. And it’s not merely an unfortunate by-product of Leftism. No, it is the very foundation upon which Leftism is built!

There simply IS no Leftism without force, coercion, and diminishment of moral agency.

I hope you

have figured out by now that Democrats always create a crappy economy. Always. Sure, Bill Clinton was not so bad, but keep in mind that he turned to conservative economic policies–remember, “The era of big government is over?” He also could rest on the tail end of the Reagan boom…

ANY success Democrats have comes from aping, however disingenuously, conservatives!

It’s both interesting

and heartening: The Left cheated like a bugger in 2020. But 1) their policies are roundly despised and have led to untold misery, and 2) the best they could do was a senile Joe Biden.

Their people and policies could only get in via fraud. Normal people shy away from Leftist ideology like a rearing stallion. They can’t win through persuasion, logic, and truth. They can only win through force, fraud and pretending to be something they’re not–mainly by pretending that they are far more conservative than they really are.

In short, Leftism needs two things to function at all: Deception and force. And neither of those things are lasting or stable. Yes, they may “work” for a little while, but they are not durable. And they are not long-term solutions. They are inherently unstable. And they WILL fall, eventually. It will eventually take more resources to keep them up than they produce. Just as we saw with the USSR.

I find that strangely comforting…

It just happens

way too often for it to be a fluke. Why do Democrats hate free speech and love darkness so? Why do they hate free speech with the heat of a thousand suns? And why do they hide who they really are and what they really believe?

I guess the answer is pretty obvious…

But Lefties, you need to ask yourselves–Is this who you are?

Really?
