MACDONALD: More Democrat Promises Broken (As If There’s Any Other Kind)

Other than making sure women can kill their unborn babies, and even that has gone a bit by the wayside, nothing Democrats promise ever comes to pass. The more they speak of equality and justice, the less there is of both. Prosperity, Democracy, and civility are bait on a hook that once taken finds you lacking all of the above. Crime and poverty are the only things that grow from the rhetorical seeds they plant, fueled by promises to tax the rich (who get richer) while everyone else pays for daring to trust them.

It’s everywhere and a lot of people know it, but the left is still better at organizing and messaging and pulling even broken heartstrings. Human nature is a better growth medium for frustration, fear, and anger than it is for the patience and hard work needed to secure liberty. But the proof is in the pudding.

Dems create wastelands, create dependents, and then string them along to stay in power. Anyone who isn’t in that trap should expect to be haunted, harassed, and eventually indicted if you are a big enough threat. There is the Bana Republic with infrastructure, at least for a little while. Heck, they couldn’t even be bothered to keep their promises about George Loyd Square.

Given how much they like to throw other people’s money around, you’d have thought they’d get that done. Get what done?

n the frenzied year of 2020, politicians in Minneapolis and the Minnesota state government made grand promises about what George Floyd Square would become. They purchased property and pledged monuments. Then, as the years passed, their political will evaporated and everything ground to a halt. One city official told me the neighborhood wanted to reopen for business, while political leaders wanted to preserve the square as an ideological symbol. The result: nobody got what he wanted.

38th Street and Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis is where George Floyd became the patron saint of graft. BLM rose from insignificance to one of the most successful confidence scams outside the medial industrial complex. They raked in Billions, but all that came from it was less united, more division, and a lovely house in a gated white neighborhood for Patrice Crullers and her family.

George Floyd Square, meanwhile, is a run-down, graffiti-dressed hangout for vagrants and drug users. Arguably a more fitting monument, but you’d think, given all the graft in state Government, that Tim Walz could have found a few bucks to tidy the place up.

There’s no reason. They milked Floyd, and the movement his overdose death spawned, to advance an agenda that has since come back to bite them in the big blue electoral ass. The only positive thing they can report is that after they exaggerated crime to record highs, they can claim crime has gone down, the way the water from a Tsunami recedes over time. Except that the wreckage and loss remain, and they can’t find a dime in their oversized blue couch to fix what they broke.

But why would they? Breaking things is the point, as is trying to undermine anyone who tries to fix them.

That’s what all the dem protests are about, by the way, though I suspect you’ve worked that out. Fixed doesn’t work for the left, but broken does, a warning to anyone and anything they’ve yet to get their hands on.
