Wait. People are just now understanding this? Where were you in 2020-2023?

I just wonder if the continued re-allocation of people from blue to red as conservatives move away will delay the inevitable, or hasten it. That resorting of people is already putting strain on big cities and blue states. Just read the other day that most big urban counties registered their first population decline in decades. People want out.

If it keeps happening, you are going to see the big blue cities fail. The largest 4 metro areas were already on a trajectory of failure and it now seems like they are trying to speed it up.

1. NYC's Communist Mayor is now using accounting gimmickry and state bailouts to prop himself up. The state can't give them $4B every year going forward.

2. LA is going to re-elect a Communist and continue to get worse. Decent chance they are about to embarrass themselves on the world stage with World Cup. The state of California is looking down the barrel of suicide via energy production neglect and paying for illegal benefits.

3. Chicago's Communist Mayor is about as low IQ as you can get for a big city Mayor and they are ratcheting up taxes, always. And look to be running off the Bears.

4. Dallas is a clown show of epic proportions and is in the process of killing their Central Business District / Downtown and losing their two remaining pro franchises that reside in the core.

Making my second way through, this time via audiobook.

The parallels to the Leftist/Communists efforts in this country is alarming. Since we are in the United States and these things "don't happen here" it is easily dismissed as a conspiracy or an over exaggeration. However, the Communists are using this phenomena to thier advantage.

Actual Communists have been elected in the two largest cities in this country. Communist thugs have rioted, have assassinated or attempted to assassinate several patriots. It's a well funded, well coordinated effort. Communist dirtbags are planted throughout the criminal justice system, as judges or DAs.

At some point, these efforts will have to met with equal and opposite "energy".

Remember what he said about guns in the chapter on arrests…if the people hadn't given them up, the commies would be afraid to arrest them.

Pffft!

FDR says hello.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...

The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward."
