Red Retreat

Trump might be back, but the Republicans still surrendered:

It's not so much a question of which party is in power. The problem is as much the Republicans' fault as the Democrats'. The Republicans gave up competing in big cities so that now, the only ideas that are debated and voted on in those cities are radical left policies — policies that aren't working and are, in fact, making the problems they claim to be addressing worse. Add to that a suicidal inability to change, to reform, to do what's necessary, and you have a recipe for total disaster. Rather than admit they could be wrong about illegal aliens, crime, race, or schools, these mayors double down and pretend that things aren't as bad as the media is making them out to be. The people in those cities have given up, moved out, or sought to benefit from the chaos. It was the same in Russia at the end of Communism. The system got more and more corrupt as people gave up trying to do what was right and simply stuck their hands out to profit from the mess.

The GOP needs to make a comeback, if they're willing to fight...
