@trainpigs @dbongino @RealTomHoman There’s something wrong with you! Stay where you are, don’t spread your ignorance elsewhere.

@dbongino I'm also a native and I'm leaving NYC next year. You retards have done NOTHING to fix this city. @RealTomHoman is a joke, the entire Trump administration is pathetic. No such thing as a good politician. You left cuz he's a pedo, didn't you? 😆

It’s remarkable to watch people vote for their own decline. I’ve seen this phenomenon play out three times now. I was born and raised in New York City during the Abe Beame, Ed Koch, and David Dinkins years. Those administrations often seemed locked in a competition over who could do the most damage to the city’s economy and public safety. The city was struggling. Then lightning struck: Rudy Giuliani won the mayor’s race and, in just a few years, helped turn New York around. The city felt alive again. Businesses returned, crime dropped, and there was an energy and optimism that had been missing for years. I left shortly afterward because of a work-related move, but I watched from afar as New York went from Bloomberg to de Blasio to Adams, and now Mamdani. Sadly, I fear the city is headed in the wrong direction again. I saw a version of the same story in Maryland. Despite being a deep-blue state, voters elected a Republican governor who improved the state’s trajectory and won reelection comfortably. Rather than build on that success, voters turned back to progressive policies under Wes Moore, and many of the same problems are reemerging. I’ve never understood why people choose policies that create trouble when they’ve already living with the receipts. Now I live in Florida, where the Scott and DeSantis administrations have transformed the state into an economic oasis. Every day, I hope Florida stays on its current course and avoids the mistakes that sent places like NY City and Maryland backward.
