Book preview

AMERICA ON LIFE SUPPORT

The Radical Left has taken control of the Democrat Party in many cities and towns, transforming the places you live and love into unmitigated failures by ramming through disastrous virtue-signaling, woke policies. This has led to crime, drug addiction, homelessness, left-wing school indoctrination, so-called inclusive housing policies, and outrageous taxes. The effects of ideologically-driven left-wing policies always spread, inspiring like-minded ideologues in other cities to step up and organize for change.

Activists on the Radical Left are more organized than those on the Right, as they vote for who they think best serves their community and believe no one party can completely define their interests and views. It is hard for people to engage more in the community, as they have jobs, lives, families, and responsibilities. When you choose not to engage more in the community, you unintentionally ceded power to the Radical Left.

In Democrat-run cities, it is much easier for the Radical Left to convince lawmakers to take their side. They share a general political view and see the world through the same social justice lens. Why should we make it so easy for them? Instead, put up a little resistance and inspire those who are not politically motivated, who see what's going on and are displeased, so that we can win small victories before ultimately winning the war for the future of our country.

The author has two primary motivations for writing this book: first, there are millions of Americans who have no idea how bad our largest, Democrat-run cities have deteriorated. They may not admit the homeless crisis in their area or realize how quickly homelessness spreads. Do we want their worldview to be defined by the Radical Left?

Many Americans live in a bubble where they are not exposed to reality, and many refuse to acknowledge the politicians and policies they support are destroying their communities. This book aims to highlight the crises overtaking American cities, such as homeless encampments in Los Angeles, criminal justice reforms in Seattle, and changes in cooking and driving in New York and Denver.

To convince people that something isn't working, it is important to explain why and how their policies are failing and what alternatives exist to combat and counter their agenda. The best way to convince people is to argue from a place of facts with examples of failures and reasons why a different approach will work.

The book covers various topics, such as homelessness, illegal immigration, crime, and education, and focuses on policies that don't work while striving to highlight those that do. It is organized by a big picture topic, such as homelessness, illegal immigration, crime, or education.

The author covers these topics through a political lens, and the only way to properly understand them is by analyzing them in the way they are advanced. The author hopes that more people will be inspired to vote for better candidates as a result of what they learn in this book.

Biases are acknowledged, but the presentation aims to inform, shock, anger, and inspire people into bringing back sanity and reason to their community and the country. If we don't pay more attention to what's going on in our most liberal cities, the policies will continue to spread, and it's time to take a closer look at what's happening in our country.

SEATTLE GETS AUTONOMOUS

On January 24, 2021, the author found themselves in the middle of an Antifa mob in Tacoma, Washington. The group had infiltrated the author and was looking for them. The author recounts their experience, which began with 200 Antifa radicals driving from Seattle to Tacoma to stage a direct action against police after a recent incident of police brutality. The crowd posed a clear threat to the officer, who was cleared of all wrongdoing by the local prosecutor.

The media coverage and out-of-context videos shared on social media prompted the anti-police Antifa gathering that the author was covering for their radio show in Seattle. The author felt a need to be in the crowd to document their anarchy, as few others would. They perfected the art of recording video on their cell phone without being noticed, which took months of practice in the field.

As the crowd marched through the streets of Tacoma, individuals tagged businesses with graffiti reading ACAB and smashed windows of various buildings. They were armed with various tools and weapons, including a pipe and crowbar. They stopped at the Pierce County Sheriff's Department Corrections Bureau to tear down protective fencing while shouting demands for prisoners' release.

While passing homes, the mob shined flashlights on residents who were looking out of their windows to see what was happening. No one joined the marauders, but the
