It’s just demographic replacement. Simple as that. |

Date: June 30th, 2026 3:38 AM Author: getulio it's demographic replacement... ...because anti-progressive left wing trade unionists and centrist, working class whites can no longer afford to live in the city. i know this because i've been bombarded with NYT and WSJ articles about the phenomenon for over a decade. most people moving to new york now swing left (this is more often than not the nature of people comfortable with uprooting for work) and indeed move there to engage in left wing civic, social, and political life. it's true that immigrants are there in disproportionately high numbers, and some did vote unlawfully, but by and large the numbers regarding illegals voting are drastically inflated. the metric they use (10+ years in the city) for residency is also fairly spurious; americans are a pretty mobile people and move quite frequently to chase the money. many, if not most people you meet in any major urban area in the US are transplants, and with NYC and LA, where you have a whole caste of people who only spend their 20s or 30s there, that effect is even more pronounced. |
