I Cannot Care More About Blue Cities Than Their Voters Do
Kurt Schlichter

What we’re seeing in the Democrat cities is a total breakdown of civilization. That’s not an exaggeration. You don't have a civilization when normal people can’t walk down the street without having to dodge junkies, piles of human waste, and knife-wielding maniacs. You have chaos. But chaos is OK with the inhabitants of the Democrat big cities. I know that because they keep electing people who allow their cities to be chaotic. I’m supposed to be outraged and upset by this, but my caring bandwidth is limited. I can only care about so much, and what I cannot do is care more about the plight that the blue voters have placed themselves in than the blue voters who elected the Democrats who allow this to happen do.

Blue cities, this is your problem, not mine. I don’t live in one. I live near one, but not inside it. Instead, I live in a suburb around many rich liberals who absolutely will not tolerate such nonsense. Our schools never have 0% of the students testing as proficient, like in blue Baltimore. The moms would never allow that. Instead, they prepare our kids to go to Ivy League colleges. Our streets are safe to walk, and whenever a random loser sets foot in our little Shangri-La by the Beach, a bunch of very big cops come with the total support of the Chardonnay wine mommies with the “Hate Has No Home Here” signs in front of their multi-million dollar townhouses and descend upon them like the Valkyries. You don’t hear complaints about cops hassling street people in my town. You don’t get complaints about police brutality. What you get is safe and clean streets.

Misery is for the poor, but the poor could outvote the Volvo voters if they wanted to. They choose not to. They choose to elect leftist Democrats with rich libs’ luxury beliefs, and their choice has consequences.

And I am in full agreement with him. I’ve decided as long as they keep the chaos in their cities, they can vote however they like.

It’s not that I like what’s going on in the inner cities. And if it was up to me, the inhabitants would live happy and safe and prosperous lives.

But they continue to vote for their own destruction. And there’s nothing anybody here can do about that.

It's sad though, because unfortunately most of the great art in our country is housed in museums in blue cities, and most of the great orchestras, opera companies and ballet companies are stuck in blue cities, too. 

I used to like hearing the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in concert and visiting the Chicago Art Institute when my family took our winter vacation in Chicago -- yes winter, because that's when the CSO performs -- but I don't think I want to visit Chicago again.  (I'm just glad I learned Ravenna technique mosaic work while the city was still safe enough to take classes at the Chicago Mosaic School, otherwise, I'd have to have traveled to Ravenna or Venice, which is a lot pricier than the non-stop flight to Chicago I can get from my town.)

Right. Keep it there if they have to have it at all.

My give-a-damn kicks in at the county line.

That and sanctuary cities. Let the illegals flock there and enjoy their hospitalities away from the rest of us...
