3. I agree as a denizen essentially my whole life

I would state for the record, however, that the population phase has radically changed since the reserve days, but you are absolutely correct that even minority citizens are not progressive in Philadelphia the way they are in other cities. Quite frankly, I think they bought into the notion that crime waves against city is weeds against them as well and the time for coddling criminals is over. We happen to have a district attorney, label to progressive, who has basically legalized all kinds of criminal activity, including shoplifting, traffic, and vehicle issues, and minor assaults. This is not an opinion, this is simply fact. And as a lifelong progressive, I’m extremely annoyed that his DA administration is being used locally as a reason to turn toward Trump and his minions.
