(Jsrtheta wrote the title of this post (slightly edited to fit above) in a comment on Booman’s post The Second Amendment is an Anachronism. It so reeked of white, middle class Dem elitism that I had to sit for a while and let my anger fade before I replied. Here is what I had to say:)

And here we have the real essence of the white, middle class, middle-aged, elitist, entitlement-poisoned, middle-leftiness position that now screams all over this blog on every level.
A wonderful city for whom, jsrtheta? Go here and look at the demographic map of Chicago.(<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Chicago#/media/File:African_American_Population_by_Census_Tract_in_Chicago,IL(2011).svg>) Obama’s city, currently ruled by his political hitman, Rahm Emanuel. Roughly 3 million in population, with vast tracts of areas where you wouldn’t go. But somebody has to live there, right? It looks to be roughly half the area of the city. 1.5 million people, maybe? Or even more, given the overcrowding in ghetto housing. And those “somebodies”…black and brown, mostly…all over the U.S. read people like you like a book.
The Dems currently seem to think that they can run the table in the 2020 presidential election by appealing to the “minority vote.” Yeah, right. Look at how well that worked out in 2016. They think that they’ll prop up some Dem hustler of color like Cory Booker (not necessarily even at the top of the ticket) as their proof of sincerity and sail into the White House. They oughta think again. The “minority vote” saw though the Democratic Party during Obama’s stay in the White House, and they’re not coming back. Not in numbers large enough to win. Bet on it. They’ll stay home rather than get hustled again.
Home…you know…in those “areas where you wouldn’t go anyway.”
Disgusting.
Gun violence is pretty much confined to areas you wouldn’t go anyway.
This should be the Dem’s 2020 slogan. Hell, it might even win them enough Trump voters to win.
Get real.
