The federal takeover has stalled, but the deeper agenda behind it hasn’t disappeared. Here’s what’s changed, what hasn’t, and why this matters everywhere.
Democrats allow the homeless, largely drug addicted and/or mentally ill individuals to degrade the quality of life of productive citizens because no one will say no: "no, you can't camp anywhere you want", "no, you can't shoot up and leave your used needles lying around", "no, you can't shit in our streets", no, you can't panhandle aggressively". We did a huge disservice to the homeless themselves when we closed rather than reform our state mental health hospitals. We need them back to provide custodial care for those who can’t survive in today’s world unassisted. They also need to admit that crime in big cities continues to be a major problem and to quit allowing Trump to take control of this issue. Make fighting criminals a major priority of the Democratic Party and especially Democratic mayors. Why are they always on their back foot on this issue? There is no political logic to being seen as soft on crime when most of the victims of crime are the very minorities that Democrats are supposed to champion.
Trump and his allies are corrupted.
Any excuse would do. They had this planned and awaiting a spark to hang it on
Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Castro etc. they all took over their capitals to establish their dictatorships.
