Something I\u2019ve noticed lately is that the Left is feeling blue.\u00a0 I think they have a sense that the vast majority of people in the country have come to the realization that the Left has single-handedly ruined a whole slew of very important parts of American life.\u00a0 All kinds of people; poor, rich; black, white, brown; educated and uneducated; men and women.\u00a0 They\u2019ve looked around and they see things like closed up stores in cities, failing school systems, homeless encampments everywhere, violence even in the rich neighborhoods and the cost of living becoming unmanageable.\u00a0 And they all know exactly how and who did it.\u00a0 The Left did it on purpose and unapologetically.\u00a0 And now the fingers are being pointed directly at them.\u00a0 And they want a hug.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll read an article in the Atlantic or the New York Times and they\u2019ll bemoan the loss of safety in the cities and they\u2019ll wring their hands over the paradox of how making the criminal justice system easier on criminals has inexplicably made the streets mysteriously more dangerous.\u00a0 And they\u2019ll finally say, \u201cWell maybe we went too far.\u201d\u00a0 And then they look for some kind of solidarity with the \u201cgood people in the middle.\u201d\u00a0 They want to join hands with people who didn\u2019t vote for Joe Biden.\u00a0 They\u2019re looking for the kumbaya moment where we all share the blame for defunding the police and voting in soft on crime prosecutors and mayors.\u00a0 They want absolution; a do-over.\u00a0 Maybe they even want to leave the same bad actors in place and just let them learn from this \u201cteachable moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Of course, there are plenty of Republicans just stupid enough to rise to the bait and \u201creach across the aisle.\u201d\u00a0 But hopefully the people themselves have become disgusted enough that we can build up a slow boil in society at large.\u00a0 We need enough areas to finally get wise to the futility of cooperating with the Left.\u00a0 States with large cities have to become sophisticated enough to make laws that can allow the state to step in when local officials create dangerous or dysfunctional conditions.\u00a0 They can legislate against unconstitutional gun laws, sanctuaries for illegal aliens or unhealthy treatment of children.\u00a0 And these states can counteract the federal laws that damage life for them.\u00a0 Improve the schools and eliminate propaganda from the Left, welfare reform, defunding of illegal aliens.<\/p>\n
So, I take it as a very healthy sign that the Left is worried about the exposure they\u2019ve received for driving the country into a ditch.\u00a0 And anyone who reacts to these kinds of appeals to solidarity and fellow citizenship should have his head examined and then given a good solid butt kicking for good measure.<\/p>\n
And as far as these kinds of things happening in deep blue states like California and Oregon, I\u2019m absolutely thrilled.\u00a0 I hope that nothing whatsoever is done to change the policies or alleviate the outcomes of the policies they\u2019ve instituted.\u00a0 I want places like San Francisco and Portland to become just one big homeless encampment.\u00a0 I want every single store in places like Oakland to close up.\u00a0 I want the price of gasoline in Los Angeles to reach twenty dollars a gallon and brownouts to last for most of the workday.\u00a0 What I\u2019d really love to see is all of Silicon Valley move to Texas and California officially go broke and go out of business.\u00a0 Then I\u2019ll give them a hug.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
