DAVID MARCUS: Democrat mayors fighting Trump's deportations are playing with electoral fire
Voters have spoken, and they want an end to illegal immigration

For the better part of the last eight years, being a Democrat mayor in a bright blue city has been a pretty easy job. As long as they beat their chests and swore to oppose MAGA, it didn’t matter how bad things were getting, these leaders of the left would be dutifully reinstalled.

But there are real signs that this might all be changing, and opposition to President-elect Donald Trump’s ambitious deportation policies by liberal mayors in so-called sanctuary cities could be the latest game-changer.

One does not expect San Francisco to be the place where a national shift to the right in American cities begins, and yet, as soon-to-be former mayor and progressive darling London Breed will tell you, that’s exactly what just happened.

It also occurred in Oakland, where lefty Mayor Sheng Thao was shown the door by voters fed up by the same crime that ravages the city across the bay.

Now, in Denver, Mayor Mike Johnston has promised that he is willing to go to jail to defy what he calls Trump’s "immoral" and "un-American" deportation plans, and even predicted that America would face a "Tiananmen Square" moment, with citizens on the street defying military tanks!

Or something.

Now, in Denver, Mayor Mike Johnston has promised that he is willing to go to jail to defy what he calls Trump’s "immoral" and "un-American" deportation plans, and even predicted that America would face a "Tiananmen Square" moment, with citizens on the street defying military tanks!

Or something.

Note how he says "citizens on the street", knowing full well that he won't be among them.  Send out other useful idiots to defy the tanks while Johnston sits comfortably away in his mayor's chair in the safety of knowing that a Trump government is far different than what the Chinese dissidents in Beijing faced.  Because the government he pretends to favor would end his life over such insolence.

Also lost on him is that the overlords of Tiananmen came out victorious.  The dissidents were crushed (literally).  The only change that came out of is was that the concrete slabs making up the square were replaced with much stronger ones so that they wouldn't crack the next time tanks were used to crush the people.
