MacDonald: : Democrats Are Not Just Soft On Crime – They Run For Office On It

If you removed the data from just the ten largest Democrat Run cities, America would look like a cultural utopia.

If you removed the data from just the ten largest Democrat Run cities, America would look like a cultural utopia. Free speech, right to self-defense, low crime and poverty, higher standards of living but lower cost of living, significantly higher health outcomes, and better educated children.

Keep in mind, America’s baseline is the same from Sea to Shining Sea. Sure, we’ve let a few things go, but on the whole, the dream is still real. Anyone can start with nothing and become something, and it can be whatever they think something is, which matters. Everyone’s "I’ve arrived" is different, and the single factor determining your ability to go from zero to hero is how much the government gets in your way.

From taking your stuff (taxes) to licensing and regulatory burdens (cartels and boards) to cost-of-living crime and other factors, the further left you are, the harder it will be for you to do anything without their permission and always at a cost (higher fees and taxes).
