Dear Editor,

Let me ask a question of those of you who want to keep Biden and the Democrats in power. How many of you would move and want to live in the inner cities of San Francisco, Portland, Chicago, New York, etc. These cities are all runned by Democrat mayors and councils.They all have pretty much Democrat judges. They also have many Soros backed DAs and prosecutors.Who doesn’t want to live in a city like San Francisco where the Federal Government tells their employees to work from home because it’s too dangerous. Who doesn’t want to live in San Francisco where 31% of all your businesses have left and are boarded up. I guess that happens when people are allowed to steal up to $950.00 worth of merchandise and only get misdemeanor charges. But you drive into work and park your car and the car is broken into. People have resorted to leaving their windows down and their trunk hatches up to tell the criminal there is nothing inside worth stealing. It works unless they like the car and steal it. Of course you could take the train but they’ve shut off surveillance of the system because catching the thief or attacker of an innocent person might lead to profiling. Then you walk to work and have to sidestep a drug addict in the street who is panhandling or threatening your life. Don’t expect the police to help..not in cities where the city councils try to defund them or prosecutors make them the criminal. If you’re lucky enough to get to your office, you notice a horrible smell coming from your feet. You look down and realize you have stepped in someone’s defecation but don’t you dare reach down there with a tissue to wipe it. There may be part of a needle stuck in your shoe that a drug addict may have left on the street. You leave work and you come home to find that your 12 year old daughter/son went to the surgeon to have a medical “enhancement” to change their sex because everyone knows that the younger you are the better your decision making process is. You can’t complain though because then you become a violator and could be arrested for stifling your child’s gender “feelings.” And who pays for this “doom loop” that the Democrats encourage. Well, you do…through your taxes. The very people who pay for everything are the ones they have the least regard and respect for. Welcome to the Progressive Marxist Utopia of the Democrat party. If we don’t stop them in 2024, your small town may be next.
