Family and I planned a family trip to see the Rangers play the RedSox before the pandemic. I tried to make the most out of the weekend. Took the tour of Dealy Plaza (awesome museum), Bowling museum (also cool), and some old gangster casino (Vegas before Vegas) on a hilltop...don't recall the name of it but indeed interesting.
Final stop was the Dallas library. There is a John Dunlap Broadside copy of the Declaration of Independence. The copy comes from the first printing of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. It's one of only two on display I believe. Encased in glass. I read it and stared at it for about 30 min.
Making it up to the 7th floor though to see it broke my heart. Homeless sleeping in all the common areas, trash and needles in the bathrooms. They basically took over the place. You could tell people didn't like it but they just seemed deflated, like there was nothing they could do about it. There were homeless drug addicts sleeping all the way up on the 7th floor.
Anyway, it was an eye opening experience when lefties take over a city. One of our most beloved documents and the only way to get to it is manage your way through homeless drug addicts.
I was recently in a blue city airport, Chicago.
The main floors were a "normal" busy airport.
But had to go to the "basement" floor where the bus depot and subway trams out of the airport were.
Homeless tweakers all over the place. And I'm not using the term tweaking as a misnomer. Literally dirty smelling people laying around near the walls tweaking. And we all had to just walk by like nothing was happening. A few of the air port security were down there as well. Just downtrodden looks on their faces.
I'm sure a lot of the people I was with (both the air port security as well as the Chicagoans returning home on their flights) probably vote Blue no matter what. But man, I gotta hope at least a few of them get red-pilled over the coming years. In my experience, once you're red-pilled, you never go back.
