For Baltimore it really is this. Nothing else quite captures the situation there

They have been electing one dem after another for 50 fucking years.

Each time, they have gotten more poverty, more drug riddled streets and more crime. Yet they keep electing one dem after another

Either they really deserve what they get, or there is massive electoral corruption there.

During a road trip back in 2018, we drove past both the White House and through Baltimore in the same day.

The "Welcome to Baltimore" sign was broken, busted down on the ground as we drove down the highway into the city. It was the perfect introduction.

Sounds like Cleveland. The homeless will follow and harass you for blocks and blocks. They shout, scream crazy shit and threaten to rape your girl. If you ask an officer to tell them to stop the police shrug and turn the other way.

Yet, it’s obvious, the handouts are not working.

Depends what the point of the handouts are. The handouts are great at buying life-long voters.

LBJ had a line about welfare and why he is giving it to blacks. Just can't remember the exact quote now.

The last time Baltimore was worth a shit, was when the crooked old italians and polacks were running things.

Yeah, they were crooked, but at least they made sure day-to-day operations were at least somewhat competent.

My Mom grew up there (in the fifties) and it was a decent enough place. Always upsetting to me what it turned into and I’ll never forgive it.

She was a Smith... what ethnicity is Smith name? English? Idk much about her Dad.. They were Lutherans.

they're voting in hopes of full out wealth distribution at taxation levels of the "rich" in excess of 85%
