I saw where Governor Pritzker made a big speech in Chicago and carried on as to how safe Chicago is and bragged about walking down the streets in perfect safety.
He also said that Donald Trump had never been to Chicago which was hilarious because the Cameraman panned over to a picture of Trump Tower in Chicago.
There are two Chicagos just as there are two Washington DCs. Google Lincoln Park, Chicago and you find an as seen on TV safe, affluent community. You need money to live there.
The Southside of Chicago isn't the same. There are crime ridden neighborhoods there and it is a real mess. Trump has threatened to send in the National Guard to clean it up.
He's done this in DC and the DC mayor had actually admitted that sending in the Guard had miraculously worked marvels. Much of what the Guard is doing there is actually cleaning the place up. It's what the GIs refer to as 'police call'.
I have seen where several residents are impressed with what has happened to their neighborhoods. I have heard no real complaints and many compliments from the actual residents.
Needless to say, the Karens and Kens in their ivory towers seem to be the large part of the complainers. The actual residents of the effected part of Washington DC seem grateful for having their neighborhoods cleaned up.
This makes sense because over the years I have seen 2 different people fall into the drink and both were saved by ring buoys thrown to the. Neither of them flipped the ring buoys over to see if they were Coast Guard approved. They just grabbed the damned thing and got hauled aboard.
People in bad neighborhoods that are trying to lead decent lives don't really care who cleans up the town. They just want the job done.
The mayor of Chicago just said he was going to use organized labor to battle Trump. That's the most pathetic thing I have ever heard.
What happened in DC has changed many attitudes among Blacks living there. Their neighborhood had been cleaned up and they are grateful. Even the mayor of DC has admitted it helped and any number of Blacks have taken notice and are slowly realizing that maybe the Democrats really don't care about them.
The panic is now that the Democrats are afraid of starting to lose their very voting base.
I am being optimistic but we shall see what we shall see.
Seems to me that the 'elite' leaders, both Black and White, need to keep the folks down on the plantation. They fear that if they lose that base they will never again be in power and they will have to go get a real job.
ReplyDeleteYup. And they don't have to get the entire black voter base, either. Just a good sized piece of it.
