You mean crime ridden "inner cities" are crime ridden for a political purpose ?

#3 Fentanyl addiction is speeding the osmotic transfer of evil into the hinterlands.

#4 Fentanyl has been in the hinterlands since 2016...the osmotic transfer of evil into our lands is complete. This destabilization will soon manifest itself in scenes of Democratic Ozymandias... The inner cities rot and the once independent folks of the hinterland are brought low by a new generation trained to dependency by a complicit federal government who attempt to dull their shame with laced illicit narcotics...and even out here we are left with...

"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

#6 Short of gummint mandated fentanyl intake, there will always be people who don't get with the program.

Well, there's always the water supply...

#7 From the article:

In Rosenthal’s district as it’s currently drawn, the Black population — a segment of the electorate that went overwhelmingly for Democrats in last month’s midterms — jumped to more than 21 percent, up from just 9 percent in 2000, the largest growth in suburban Black population of any U.S. county. But his district isn’t the only one experiencing these demographic shifts.

Questions:
1. Weren’t the districts redrawn recently?
2. Looking at the Houston befoe-and-after population distribution maps at the link, the Representative Rosenthal’s district looks awfully gerrymandered. Not quite the classic salamander with a tummy ache, but definitely wasp waisted.

Or up in da District, huh? HANO!"
