On the Russia thing, he's pointing out that we have all been deceived. Our cities are unsafe, unclean and hotbeds of corruption. Filth and degeneracy are not the cost of limited government, they are the byproduct of corruption. We have money for everyone around the world, yet nobody gives two ****s about the poor in Appalachia or our collapsing infrastructure or that our nation becomes more unrecognizable every day.
Ah yes, we should strive to have corruption levels as low as Russia's, excellent point.
Good grief. The answer isn't what we have now or full authoritarian crack down on the streets (btw, if you think Moscow is full of secret police prowling around I've got a bridge to sell you).
Nobody here wants to address the uncomfortable question. How do we get order back to our cities? And why are they in such disorder? The answer isn't as simple as "because we aren't Russians!"
The reason we have disorder in our cities is pretty simple. It's because of liberals. Crazy progressive liberal govts in major cities and liberal judges constantly releasing dangerous, and often mentally ill, criminals back onto our streets. If you arrest and punish, crime will go down and order will return. Liberals believe we have an over incarceration problem when we really have an under incarceration problem. Liberals believe it's more important to have compassion for criminals than victims. We don't prosecute petty crime like theft, drug use, gun possession etc., and under prosecute major/violent crime like murder, armed robbery, assault, etc.
The only solution is to change people's opinions and voting habits. But I'm not sure how we do that because politics has become tribal. MSM hides and misinforms with propaganda. The constant excuse that prosecuting minorities is racist, etc.
But it's not a mystery why our major cities are in disorder. Look at the govt coupled with the demographic.
