Anyone surprised that a once beautiful, thriving city got run straight into the ground by Democrats aka dumbasses cosplaying as leaders?
I despise socialism. Not because of slogans or politics, but because it is one of the oldest scams in human history: corrupt parasites convincing lazy, weak-minded, and emotionally manipulated people that dependence is virtue and that government can somehow create utopia.
It never creates utopia. It creates decay, filth, crime, dependency, resentment, and eventually collapse.
The people pushing this garbage know exactly what they are doing. Wrap destruction in "compassion," call theft "fairness," call failure "equity," and suddenly millions of useful idiots march right along with it believing they're morally enlightened.
How did they gain power?
Two reasons:
1. Too many people are foolish enough to believe socialism will save them because they've been trained to think they are perpetual victims owed something by society.
2. Too many people in the center and on the right either failed to recognize the threat, or recognized it and responded with spinelessness, passivity, and endless "niceness."
That response is almost as stupid as the socialist sheep themselves.
Better start pushing back against this idiocy hard and soon or the same rot that destroyed Seattle will spread everywhere else, including Texas cities.
