Was talking to a relative tonight, who lives in Oakland Ca. I try hard not to talk politics, but tonight it was inevitable. The liberal mindset is! Ready for this?

Out of control crime, drug use, and homelessness? Along with high taxes and completely useless, inept local government, is?

Democracy in action!



They really are fucking mental

In many locations is it. That's one reasons our founding fathers abhorred democracy and considered it mob rule. That's why the US wasn't created as a democracy.

Thankfully my location in this moonscape has purged marxist loons from my life.
They prefer more scenic areas.

So, as I live on the other side of the globe and live my life totally isolated from those people as well as away from US TV, I have no idea about this. So, I have to ask - do they actually see the homelessness, drug use, and crime for what it is AND think it is good? Or do they view it as "people free to live their lives without interference from others/government - but too bad some take it to extremes"?

EDIT:  By the way, Too Short moved out of Oakland sometime in the late 90s.  I wonder why.

I got the sense of ignorant pride in the fact the people were deciding how to live their lives. Didnt seem to matter that society was crumbling around them because of it. It was a surreal conversation that I am still unpacking mentally.

Ah, I think I get it. They think that lots of people Effing up must mean that everybody is choosing to do what they want to do without having to follow the rules.

But I would bet that they still want more rules for people who do things they don't approve of.

It’s pretty dumb but still not as dumb as those delusional shitbag retards embracing the progressive, leftist politicians who create and enable those problems.

Nope. It’s Trump, whitey, conservatives, and rich people that cause it all.

We just need to vote harder left. That’s their solution.

They’re dumber than most animals.

It's the classic "feature not a bug" argument. It's supposed to be that way, comrade. That's how you know it's working.  

They're all but beggars to their own demise.

It's not called a mental disorder for no reason.

Democracy means majority rule with minority rights.

If the majority are fine with crime and drug use, then let them have it.

It turns out that mobs and vigilantes are almost always wrong.
Just because the majority votes a certain way, does not mean they are correct.

This is seen by Russia's extensive propaganda campaigns on USA for years now.

I'm not sure I understand. Is their position, "That's what the people there want"?

It is democracy in action.

"Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard." - H.L. Mencken

And that's why The Founders, who were infinitely wiser than today's politicians, gave us a republic in an attempt to avoid the mob rule aspect of a democracy.

On the positive side, it pretty much worked for a couple hundred years.  Better than most.

Must be a youngster. When Scott walker was elected WI Gov in 2011 The protest mob was yelling "This is what democracy looks like" as they attempted to shut down the WI government.
