#Trump & #Vance want #liberals to be #IvyLeague-educated people (which describes both members of the #Republican ticket but neither of the 2 #Democrats) who look down their noses at “flyover country” & disrespect the values of #SmallTowns & the #countryside. They absolutely do not want to deal w/a #liberalism that extols “#community” & “#freedom” (two of #Harris’s favorite words) & favors a #government active in areas where most voters favor more public #action to ease their circumstances.

From the article:

**To have the truly open society they claim to want, liberals must press for elite intellectual institutions—the top businesses, newspapers and universities—to embody principles of liberalism instead of succumbing to censorship and groupthink.**

Paraphrased:
Liberals need to ask the elite to stop being greedy pricks and start being more liberal.

Got it.
This is what happens when you depend on the elite to formulate solutions to problems caused by the elite.

Wealth #inequality in #germany is close to that of the #us.

The German super-rich determine national politics, as they do in the US. They are just more discreet about it.

Adam Tooze gives a summary of recent work to disclose this hidden and antidemocratic wealth and power:

The Heideggerian critique of liberalism is very different from other critics of liberalism, and it's important to be wary of that. The Heideggerian critique it is a romanticization of an idyllic past that can only be remade through unimaginable violence. It's the philosophy of fascism.

JEFF CARLSON: "California has made record investments — $15.3 bil."

This is an administration failure rather then a strength, Gavin Newsom.

Newsom is correct.
Federal courts sided with the ACLU to stop cities from removing homeless camps.
Violation of their 5th amendment rights apparently.

However, if Gavin were in the WH, he would be appointing just those kinds of judges to the federal bench....

Reckless laws, defunded police, irresponsible DAs.
California’s crime problem is a warning to the nation about radical politics run amok.

San Francisco’s Decline: 🔊

I honestly think it is a real estate strategy by a few billionaires.

Drive down the real estate value in San Francisco by 80%, then buy up all of the cheap defaulted real estate, then re-establish law and order to rebuild. Beautiful location that they purchase at an 80% discount.

It’s the plot of Robocop and happening in San Francisco.

1/3) Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is blaming *automakers* for the massive surge in carjackings across the city of Chicago, not carjackers, and is suing KIA and Hyundai for it.

Read that again.

Johnson, who has a history of defending criminals, ignored the massive 104% increase in vehicle thefts from last year when announcing the lawsuit.

Clown world.

2/3) “The impact of car theft on Chicago residents can be deeply destabilizing, particularly for low- to middle-income workers who have fewer options for getting to work and taking care of their families. The failure of Kia and Hyundai to install basic auto-theft prevention technology in these models is sheer negligence, and as a result, a citywide and nationwide crime spree around automobile theft has been unfolding right b4 our eyes.”

3/3) So he couldn't fix Chicago's crime issues as promised, and now he blames automakers.
That seems about right with these democratic politicians.
I'm surprised it took him this long.

Next, he will sue gun manufacturers.

Same playbook, different story.

The #dictators tragedy
is that people who live under #dictatorship
(with the exception of the #Russians)
wants #Liberalism and #Democracy
the only solution for a Dictator is the #NorthKorean style
where everyone is too hungry to rebel
funny is that some that are lucky enough to live in a democracy
crave a dictatorship (#MAGAs)
becouse they have not idea what really mean.

JESSE KELLY:

I know it’s terrible and wrong of me, but nothing makes me laugh harder than a Democrat voter complaining about crime in his own city.

Old Democrats having to delay retirement is a close second.

“My mom voted for Joe Biden. She doesn’t deserve to lose her retirement.”

Yes, she most definitely does. Stupidity is costly. Stupid people only become smart by experiencing the pain of their stupidity.

PRO TIP: All the “different” communist groups work together and support each other because they’re all the same group with the same goal: Destruction

They just have different labels so it’s easier to sell to the masses. https://twitter.com/JesseKellyDC/status/1547999485799714818

1) Acceptance of reality is something all people should fight harder for.
2) people are trying to destroy functioning society and the lives of people who don't accept radical redefinitions away from reality -- then pretend to be surprised people oppose such destructive impulses.

Remember when there was record low black unemployment under Trump and then 92% of black people voted for Joe Biden? 👇🏽
CNN's Van Jones says the economy has gotten "worse" for Black Americans since Biden took office.
"The rising gas prices, food prices have really walloped the Black community."
