Just ask the citizens of Venezuela, for one example. What was once a thriving Capitalist system, is now a Socialist sh*thole – as someone once coined. Citizens who were once free to shop at the markets, were forced to steal zoo animals for food. You can keep your monkey stew… I’ll stick with a nice bowl of French onion soup.

As for me and mine, our vote is based purely on our hope to prevent the 3rd and deciding vote for the destructive and Marxist progressive agenda away from City Hall… and disappointedly, that option is the current Mayor at this point.

So wax to your hearts content on comparative political sciences… this is about preventing a complete collapse of common sense and moral decency, in hopes that better options present themselves in the future.

I think you meant “HOPE-fully.”

“… bullying … bullying … bullying … bullying …”

When concern trolling TR doesn’t work under one handle before the primary, try again and HOPE that it will work under another handle before the general.

Thanks for taking the time to craft a thoughtful comment. Although, I am not a fan of your use of “rag’. TR Editor, Steve S.

Statements by the groups are included in the article. I consider any group with the goal of abolishing capitalism and demonizing law enforcement as extreme.

It’s also an interesting piece in that it gives the reader an update on an array of current conservative dog whistles. For example, that “Austin, Portland, and Seattle” are seemingly code for “liberal hellholes you do not want your town to become.” It’s not surprising that “defund the police,” challenges to capitalism, and gun control are still potent signals to get people’s hands wringing, but I was a little surprised to see “housing as a human right” listed as well. Didn’t realize that was a controversial issue, but I guess it makes sense, since it has to do with helping poor people and people of color with public funds.

I’m not sure why this paper showed up in my mailbox, but my takeaways are twofold: (1) it’s obviously a small-time operation with a tiresome conservative bias, but (2) it also does contain a ton of useful factual information about local goings on.

I think if readers take into account the obvious right leaning slant, then TR could be seen a useful little rag with some real potential.

Like I said, your comment did not relate to TR’s story, rather it related to – as you admit – a Tallahassee Democrat story. Steve S.
