Communist. There are no liberals anymore. Commies simply want to destroy the American way of life.

They believe everything is a right, except self defense.

Adler has single handily destroyed Austin in literally a 3-4 year period. He needs to be taken care of.


Adler demanded more power so he could veto any legislation the city council passed. So it went to a vote.

He failed 86-14. 86% of people said frick you — you can’t get 86% of people anywhere to agree that today is Sunday but 86% of lib Austinites told him to go get fricked.

Camping is a human right. Public spaces are PUBLIC. Anyone should be able to exercise their rights there. FOR SHAME AUSTIN.

Democrats are mostly godless and are a good example of this Isaiah 5:20 end times verse:

More than 150,000 voters cast a ballot: 85,830 in favor, 64,409 against.


This is what stands out to me. In a city the size of Austin (estimated in 2019 @ 950,807) 150k people voted. Yet 80+% of the population votes in the last election cycle in Minnesota

The road in front of your house is public. Invite them to set up shop there.
Sidewalks too, don't forget the sidewalks!

Then there's the easements for drainage, power, cable, internet, water. In a lot of areas those easements are deemed public by city/county/state ordinance.

Hopefully the guy in favor of public camping has easements in the backyard to match the front sidewalk!

Good riddance. I was tired of seeing homeless people shite on the sidewalks. Even north in the burbs where I live had issues with it. Homeless people live in the drainage ditch In my neighborhood. They shoot heroine and talk to the kids walking home from school. Cops won’t do anything about it. Liberal parents on next door want to start a go fund me for them (to what, buy more heroine?). A few people cleared their shite out but more homeless people showed up after. The libs were weirdly happy for them. Freaking bizarro world.

Suck it Mayor Adler.

Yeah, that means no one should be able to monopolize them. Get it? Campers are MONOPOLIZING them.

If morality is relative, and situational, then you have no morality.

Liberals only support liberal measures when it doesn't impact their neighborhoods.

The consequences of good intentions and the naive nature of liberals throughout history would be comical if the ramifications weren’t so disastrous

I wish all the section 8, homeless camps, rioting, etc would only occur in Democratic politician neighborhoods. Guarantee you there'd be a change in ideology.


Is this sarcasm? Republican voters are overwhelmingly rural and suburban, everything you listed is overwhelmingly urban.

You literally could not have written a more backward take if you tried.
