The 2024 race will go down in history as one of the most consequential for America. Democrats can’t stand it.

And now the NY Times blindsided Democrats with an epic betrayal they never saw coming.

New York Times columnist Ezra Klein is sounding the alarm on Democrats’ refusal to acknowledge the harsh realities facing America’s cities, warning they need to “shut the f–k up” about the worsening conditions.

In Donald Trump’s resounding election win last week, the president-elect achieved a remarkable 6.5% gain in urban counties, even surpassing the 3.3% increase in suburban counties, according to the Washington Post.

Notably, a voting district in Manhattan went red for the first time in over a decade, as exclusively reported by the New York Post this week.

Klein, 40, pointed to growing frustration in cities like New York and San Francisco, saying Democrats trying to deny or deflect blame need to “talk to some people who live near you.”

“The thing that surprised me least about the election was the sharp red shift in these big cities,” Klein shared on Pod Save America Wednesday. “If you just talk to anybody who lives in them, they are furious.”

Highlighting the daily struggles faced by urban residents, he added, “The rage I just hear from people in New York … the sense of disorder rising, not just crime, but homeless encampments, trash on the streets, people jumping turnstiles in subways, crazy people on the streets. You just talk to people and they’re mad about it,” Klein said, noting similar frustration in San Francisco.

“And this idea that ‘The economy is actually good,’ or ‘Crime is actually down, this is all just Fox News,’ shut the f–k up with that,” Klein, the Vox co-founder, continued, expressing the disconnect between Democrats and voters in these cities.

Klein pointed out that while people may not follow the ins and outs of politics, they are intimately aware of the rising costs they face daily.

“People don’t follow politics, but they live in the place they live. They see if prices have gone way up and a bunch of economists telling them ‘No, no, no, no, don’t worry about the price of everything’ … is not gonna do it.”

Further fueling the discontent is Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant busing program, which has put intense pressure on blue cities. Klein warned that Democrats are still blind to the full scope of the migrant crisis.

“There were enough migrants that Greg Abbott could bus actual human bodies to New York City and it was a big enough problem that New York City could not effectively deal with it,” he said. “It does show that what was going on at the border was much worse than what the Democrats were letting themselves accept.”

In San Francisco, the political fallout has been swift. Mayor London Breed recently lost her re-election bid to centrist Democrat and Levi Strauss heir Daniel Lurie, amid record-breaking overdose deaths in the sanctuary city, where 656 people died from fentanyl overdoses last year alone.

New York City has seen its own struggles with crime: m*rders are up 45% over a 28-day period from last year, while r*pe is up 29.9% over the same timeframe, according to NYPD data. Overall, r*pes have surged 17.5%, robberies by 0.7%, and felony assaults by 5.2% compared to 2023, though year-over-year m*rder rates are down slightly by 4.7%.

Residents are feeling the pain of these statistics firsthand. Susan Dye, a 60-year-old Manhattanite in the only voting district that turned red for Trump, told The Post, “It used to be a safe city, and it’s not a safe city anymore, and it’s like this all over the country, there is no law anymore. Donald Trump is tough. He will bring the law back.”

The economic outlook hasn’t helped either, with inflation climbing by 2.6% last month, up from September’s 2.4% increase. Consumer prices have shot up by a staggering 21.8% since Biden took office in 2020, as reported by Pew Research Center.

Essentials are costing Americans far more — margarine prices are up 56%, car insurance has surged by 47.5%, and eggs have jumped 40.1%.

In response to the crisis, New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Friday that he is ending the city’s program of providing prepaid grocery debit cards to migrants, after spending $2.4 million on the initiative.

For many Americans, these rising prices, safety concerns, and unaddressed issues in their communities are pushing them to consider new leadership in hopes of a return to order and affordability.
