As a liberal, does it upset you more that a robot had its head and arms ripped off than the countless babies being dismembered in their mother's womb?

please name the conservative policy that made, say, detroit a shithole.
Hell, name the conservative policy or policies that made any liberal hellhole a hellhole.
I was trying to make it simple for him. It didn't seem to help.

We should become overwhelmingly white homogenous cultures protected by a friendly superpower which allows us to spend more money on social programs?

Oh but it does. Beliefs like that negate responsibility. It’s always the other guys fault....the pillar of liberal thinking.

Hell, name the conservative policy or policies that made any liberal hellhole a hellhole.
It's not enough that the Dems have implemented local rules and policies that have wrecked large cities such as Detroit and Chicago. Now they are doing it on a larger scale with legislation such as huge taxes and Sanctuary city/state policies in states like California and New York. Citizens - legal tax payers at least - are leaving those states in droves, being run off by extreme Liberal laws such as those I mentioned among others.
We've already witnessed first hand what they can do on a national level (Obamacare) if given the political power to force their agenda. Imagine if people like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or Ocassio-Cortez every had the clout to pass laws they wanted. There wouldn't be anywhere to escape the stupidity without breaking out your passport.
Enact Sanders's or Warren's or Ocasio-Cortez's policies, and there will be more people breaking out of their passports than our leftists realize. And if they do, they will be taking a huge hunk of money out of our economy. Of course, depending on how those policies are enacted, they might not need to exchange passports, but if they do then there are plenty of places that would be glad to make it worth their while to do so. Muffy is not going to have to move to Mogadishu to escape. And even if she did, on the millions of dollars involved, Muffy could probably turn even Mogadishu into a decent place to live.
Here is my question for those who think that Sanders and Warren and Ocasio-Cortez are right with their "give you everything for free and make the rich pay for it" philosophy. Europe tried that 50, 60, 70 years ago. They don't do it that way any more. Why do they not do it that way any more? Did they find out what happens when you run out of other people's money?
They still have lots of "free" stuff, but everybody, not just the "rich," pays for it. Their taxes on the "rich" may be somewhat higher than ours (although in many cases they aren't), but their taxes on the poor and middle class are WAY higher than ours, particularly considering the impact of their consumption taxes.

Liberal policy is to blame someone else.
Canada and Netherlands, suckerfish hitching a free ride. Why not throw Sweden, the most liberal of them all, in that list of names?

Swedish Socialism is on the backs of lower-end Swedish taxpayers. They pay some of the highest tax rates for regular workers in the world.
The lesson: You can't tax the rich, they'll abandon you and move to better tax countries. You can tax the poor though, cause they can't move as easily.

That's pretty much the way all of Europe does it. They tried taxing the "rich" in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, and got capital flight. They ran out of somebody else's money, or more properly they ran somebody else's money out of their country. Then they discovered consumption taxes, and later Reaganomics. They tax the "rich" less than we do in many cases, but they tax the poor and middle classes way more than we do. And everybody gets the benefits, not just the poor but also those middle class and "rich" folks. Their systems are based on providing a safety net, not on massive redistribution of income and wealth. They are in many ways less socialist than the likes of Sanders and Warren and AOC.
