GOP political strategist and former Managing Editor for the Daily Caller, Derek Hunter, is asking, “Why should I care” about the Los Angeles riots?
And he's mulling the idea of just letting “liberal cities burn.”
“It’s time to accept that some people simply cannot be reached,” Hunter said in his Tuesday Townhall column. “They are like smelly, virgin Terminators who cannot be reasoned with. They’re called Democrats. Not all Democrats, some aren’t complete automatons, they’re just too busy and don’t pay attention to anything outside their immediate area.”
Railing against the left, he believes Democrats still need to be informed about “how their fellow Democrats are either actively engaging in activities that are anti-American or enabling those activities.”
Only then does Hunter believe “we must let all of them marinate in the consequences of their stupid decisions.”
Hunter said he felt bad when the wildfires swept Los Angeles, and claimed Californians have been “absolutely screwed by local and state governments.”
But, he added, “They voted for these idiots as they imposed insane permitting laws and regulations that will make it take years before anyone can rebuild their home, so why should I care if they’ve screwed themselves into a corner?”
In light of the protests in Los Angeles, Hunter rhetorically asked, “To hell with LA? Should we just leave the state to destroy itself?”
He then said, “They do overwhelmingly vote for the people who are making that happen, so maybe we should let them. They’re going broke and will likely be looking for a federal bailout soon. Pass.”
He compared California Democrats to children who only learn by doing something, not by listening. “After generations of blind loyalty to a failed political party, it is abundantly clear that Democrats [have to learn the hard way].”
“Ultimately, I’m inclined to let California leftists punch themselves in the face,” he said before adding, “but only to a certain point.”
