Great post and a timely message! Unfortunately, our political class seems to he doing this by design, trying to turn the USA into a failed state, and the big cities are the harbingers of this. I don't know why they would do this, though I have heard some theories that seem plausible. Regardless of why, though, I don't see any signs that they are taking their foot off the gas, even as our society hurtles towards the cliff. A quasi-religious neo-Marxist movement has completely captured the political establishment, academia, the mainstream media, etc., and things like defunding or abolishing police, ending cash bail, electing woke prosecutors who go easy on the criminal class but go all-out prosecuting anyone who defends themselves against criminal attack, etc., are all elements of their strategy. Hopefully enough of the NPC useful-idiots who vote for Marxist politicians can be awakened from their stupor when they see these politicians turning their cities into anarchic hell holes, but from what I see, too many Californians and New Yorkers move but take their politics with them, never bothering to connect the obvious dots linking wokeism with social decay. But I think we're going to reach a tipping point nationally where those of us in "flyover country" really push for a national divorce in earnest.
