Why Are Progressives so Bad at Governing?
 
06/19/2019 William L. Anderson

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Paul Krugman declared that the Bush administration failed in its response to the flooding of New Orleans because the administration consisted of people, according to Krugman, who didn’t “believe in government.” One cannot say that about progressives who truly believe in government, and believe in unlimited government at that. Yet, it also is clear that when in power — and especially when they face no real opposition — progressives generally govern very badly. Why this is so — in direct contradiction to Krugman’s stated belief — requires an examination of the progressive mindset, something Krugman probably is intellectually and emotionally incapable of doing.

Along with bone ignorance of human nature, progressives favor the "rights" of the maladjusted over the rights of the regular population.
Which is why the major WC cities are becoming gigantic garbage dumps.  It's like the one kid in the classroom who never learned how to sit still or obey the rules being given priority over the rest of the class who act under control and want to learn. The bad kid is allowed to do whatever he wants by the progressive teacher while the good kids have to put up with him or her.
