My POV as former NYC citizen - Let them, it will be an interesting social experiment. We can live in states with police and watch from afar.

I actually wish the cops would just go on strike first. Protest should in theory end right?

Kurt Russel made a movie about that years ago. "Escape from New York"

The 80’s were something else

I was a young elemantary age boy in the 80's, and raised to believe that Ronald Reagan was the devil. And I bought it, because I was more interested in GI Joe and Transformers, I figured the parents had that shit figured out.

I wish I could go back in time and tell 8 yo me that my parents were fucking clueless. Would've saved current me a lot of self-discovery

I always said Escape from New York was like a 70's Pop poster off your wall came to life.

There were actually quite a bunch of silent supporters in NYC but also many cucks. If you meet one in the wild give them a chance.

I hear ya, I give all a chance! Once I was in a Brooklyn bar, and the lady next to me says "screw Long Island it's full of f'ing conservatives!" I ordered another beer and said game on... (i know the silent majority on long island)

And the Californians. Geez, so sick of hearing what an awful bunch of lefties we ALL are. Not true. At all.

If they’re from nyc most likely cucked but long islanders most likely could be based

Filmed in St. Louis (and a little bit in East St. Louis). They didn't have to do much 'set dressing' either. The gladiatorial scene was in Union Station - which since was turned into a mall and hotel center - which has started to devolve like many 'dead malls'.

We will have to build another wall for that.

The problem is that leftists are allowed to move freely about the country and implement their terrible policies wherever they go. They never learn.

When they destroy their cities and try to come here after it'll be us that start the riot and they'll regret they ever came.

Really? I don’t see any conservatives rioting against the mass migration of leftists to Texas and Arizona. Arizona has even voted in a Democrat senator in 2018, and still nothing.

Arizona is cucked. The transformation is almost complete here. These people are fucked and they don't even realize it yet.

That was before this, that was before they were defunding police and letting Antifa run around and destroy cities and get away with it. We will only put up with their destruction for so long. If they try to bring it to the red states after burning down their cities it will be civil war.

They will be in the minority whenever they land and yes the extreme leftist is hopelessly brainwashed and moderates are likely already on our side

Honestly we all need to email the DNC and any D reps in our area advocating for this. Push it far and wide on social media and demand they contact their reps as well. We need to meme this into reality. As Tim Pool said, if Biden runs on disbanding the police, Trump could stop campaigning, go play golf for the next 5 months and still win 538-0.

Seriously we can make this happen

To some, yes. To most, that would push it so far that even some extremes would blanch.

This is what I have been doing but also how I feel at this point. I lived in lower manhattan, in not a rich neighborhood, and it was the one of the first neighborhood these bastards looted. With nothing left to lose I’ve taken a totally different position on the protests.

Now I am 💯 in support of democrat cities abolishing their police departments. I think this will be literally the only way to stop the violence at this point.
