OPINION:
One need only look at either end of the country to see the future if so-called liberal progressives continue to have any power in any part of the U.S.
Look at California, for instance. They cleaned up San Francisco for the leader of our greatest enemy, here for a useless meeting with an ineffective administration. Before that they didn’t care about the drugs, the homeless towns, the trash, the crime, or the businesses and people leaving the city in droves.
Then look at Baltimore on the other coast. The wholly Democratic-controlled Maryland legislature passed laws allowing youth to commit crimes without consequence. They overloaded an already failed youth-correction system. They passed gun laws that did nothing to keep guns away from juveniles but which (a court now agrees) took away law-abiding citizens’ rights. They either knew what they were doing or are not competent to write laws.
Every day on local media, there are people saying they have had enough of the crime, the drugs, the trash and the homelessness. Well, only by voting for conservatives and ditching the liberal progressives who have worked to defund the police and allow criminals to use your youth as their puppets will you see change. If you don’t, you will get what you deserve.
