For some reason, the liberal tolerance for social decay has been on my mind a lot lately.
It’s not that violent crime is at an all-time high in the United States. It actually isn’t at all. One of the perversities of the decline in the fecundity of Americans is that there are fewer people in the prime criminal age categories, which has contributed to a drop in violent crime. Add to that, and Trump’s National Guard crackdowns in cities like Washington, D.C., and the murder rate in America is at or near all-time lows.
Still, all the signs of social decay in Deep Blue cities are getting worse, and violent crime by lifetime criminals, either in protected classes such as illegal aliens or “oppressed” minorities, or among the severely mentally ill, is getting worse. When you add in the fact that a lot of crimes are no longer reported because police are hamstrung and prosecutors let people off, a sense of social collapse is inescapable.

Our streets and public transport systems show the most signs of social decay. In Minneapolis, our light rail system is a moving homeless refuge and drug den, and in Charlotte, you can get randomly killed on their light rail, and Democrats won’t even mourn for the loss of your daughter.
Watching Democrats refuse to stand for Iryna Zarutska’s parents, who were seated 15 feet away from me…
May have been the single most radicalizing moment of my life.
I could not believe it.
I still can’t.
I cannot wrap my head around it.

The response? City voters just elected a jail abolitionist as a judge. It’s mind-bending.
🚨#BREAKING: Habekah Cannon, a self-proclaimed “PRISON ABOLITIONIST” who was arrested THREE TIMES during the George Floyd riots of 2020…

According to her website she wrote, “We’ll get you out of that cage…”

Go to any liberal city, and you will find homeless drug addicts killing themselves with fentanyl on the streets, and people like Scott Weiner are decriminalizing prostitution and making it impossible for the police to save young girls from human trafficking.
I absolutely do not understand how Democrats let homeless addicts just destroy whatever public space they choose to plop down in.
It’s not in the interest of the public, nor is it in the interest of the homeless to be sleeping in tents. https://t.co/wp6XgZtaEN

Some of the most beautiful cities in America are being destroyed by policies everybody knows are harmful, but for some reason, Democrats flock to support the politicians who are making their lives hell. To own Republicans? Because they believe this is social justice? Or is there enough voter fraud to keep this up?
You literally can’t make this up
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass went out and did a photo op while clearing one of the cities largest homeless encampments
Now, residents are outraged because “the encampment is now back”
It was all for the cameras. The homeless were allowed back pic.twitter.com/zD64Na4iOm

For Democrats, this is, literally, a business. They make a lot of money off the chaos, as taxpayers are convinced to shell out billions of dollars in the hope that the chaos can be thwarted.
🚨BREAKING: New York voters are ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS, NYC is now spending MORE PER HOMELESS PERSON than the MEDIAN INCOME in the city:
$81,700+ per person!
Homeless spending has EXPLODED from $102 MILLION to OVER $368 MILLION in just SIX YEARS.

The homeless are farmed for cash, as money flows into NGOs, hotel rooms, fake construction projects, and countless social programs.
City of Los Angeles bought a Ramada Inn for $10.2 million to house homeless
Since then, they started sending money to a NGO to takeover the project. Its now sat vacant for 4 years and $20 MILLION has been spent, meant to house only 32 people

Homeless people are paid for signatures on petitions and for their ballots, which are mailed to phony addresses where hundreds of homeless people are registered. Why do you think that voter ID is seen as poison to Democrats?

Criminals have become, simultaneously, heroes and victims, depending on the narrative that needs to be pushed. George Floyd has statues and parks named after him, while people like Daniel Penny are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

A Soros prosecutor is releasing murderers into the public to commit crimes again. He is giving insanity pleas to criminal after criminal, and this famously liberal area hates Republicans so much that they let it happen.
It’s nice to see @FairfaxCountyPD put politics over community safety
Imagine being one of the officers that told @SteveDescano not to release this illegal alien murderer, then bowing to @FairfaxDems’ prohibition on ICE cooperation… only to see Stephanie Minter slashed to death https://t.co/DxlOLYLAB7

Criminals, fraudsters, juvenile delinquents…all given a pass because they are actually “victims” of a white supremacist colonial society, whose citizens deserve to get whatever the oppressed want to dish out at them.

The criminal class is not large, by societal standards. Most violent crimes are committed by repeat offenders, often with rap sheets that extend page after page. Many are here illegally and should be deported, but Democrats will literally close down the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that they can stay here.
The social decay we are living through has been created by a choice. There is nothing inevitable about it. Everybody knows how to prevent it.
Democrats seem to want it. Whether it is misplaced guilt, a desire to punish people for being “privileged,” or anarcho-terrorism straight out of the communist playbook, it amounts to the same result: social destruction.
