Thanks for publishing the Minneapolis "Uptown" story. I have relatives who live very near Uptown, and I often drive through there to visit them. I see absolutely no sign of hope for Minneapolis or any other "blue" city. It goes back to your "Liberals are Missing a Gene" article: the populations of these cities are clueless, and you can't fix stupid. In your article here we have a self-professed Leftist who no doubt voted a straight Democrat ticket for the current administrations of both Minneapolis and Minnesota. He voted for both Mary Moriarty (Hennepin County Attorney), whose only prior experience was as a public defender, and who before her election was famous for her philosophy that no juvenile should ever see the inside of a jail no matter how horrendous the crime, along with Keith Ellison (Minnesota Attorney General), a self-professed Antifa fanboy famous in his public-defender career for his love of the gangs whose members he defended. Your Leftist commenter likely also approves of all 13 hardcore lunatics on the city council and voted for at least one of them (ha ha). The Minneapolis council remains resolute in its determination to annihilate the Minneapolis police department, voting recently to deep-six a proposal to offer a minimal incentive to the few remaining officers to keep them from leaving. Really, I can't relate to this sort of stupidity; it seems to me more of a mental illness to be unable to grasp the connection between voting for a lawless city and getting what you voted for. The city is full of children in adult bodies who sadly have the right to steer themselves into oblivion. Maybe it's true: "liberals" are just missing a gene: https://dianelgruber.substack.com/p/scientific-discovery-liberals-are

Diane, you and David Ziffer, are both correct in your analyses: it’s a combination of suffering from a “missing a gene,” along with “stupidity and mental illness.” Add to that stubbornness, the other Democrat disability. Democrats never take responsibility for their wrongheaded policy decisions and the questionable candidates they elect, like Joe Biden, the worst person to ever occupy the Oval Office.
