New York isn’t the only major American city that is about to get their first socialist mayor — Minneapolis and Seattle are next on the list for a full-scale socialist takeover.
“I am a democratic socialist.” That’s a line from Omar Fateh, the presumptive next mayor of Minneapolis who beat out the incumbent mayor Jacob Frey — you may remember Frey from the BLM riots of 2020 when he sat back, did nothing, and allowed his city to burn (yeah, Fateh is to the left of that guy…). Fateh doesn’t believe his critics have good-faith policy disagreements with him, instead he accuses them of white supremacy. Fateh was a leading advocate for taxpayer-funded free college for illegal immigrants, and he even backed raising taxes on middle-class families to do it — he then said that anyone who opposed this plan was a white supremacist. On top of that, Fateh spoke longingly of all the “millions of dollars ” that the Minnesota would save if they defund their police department.
In Seattle, Katie Wilson, whose only accomplishment is being a self-proclaimed activist and hasn’t held a real job or run and business in her life, is leading the polls to become Seattle’s next mayor. Her plans won’t just bankrupt the city, they’ll make residents less safe. In one of the most shameless vote-buying schemes in history, Wilson has promised to have the city pay some people’s rent and said she will pay for it with “progressive revenue” (that’s a fancy way of saying she’s going to raise taxes on hardworking families). In addition, Wilson wants to replace many of the city’s police officers with social workers — a staple of the Defund the Police agenda. Wilson also has thrown out the idea of having “a municipal version of Door Dash that is publicly subsidized,” so you can pay for other people to get fast food delivered to them for free. In case there were still any outstanding questions about where Wilson stands on the issues, hear it in her own words: “Yeah, I mean, I’m a socialist […] I’m not secretive about that.”
