THE LEFT’S CHOICE - LAWLESSNESS OVER ORDER

Across America, chaos isn’t a coincidence — it’s a policy. The progressive left has chosen lawlessness as its brand, excusing criminals, demonizing police, and punishing anyone who dares to stand up for order.

From defunding police to releasing felons and ending cash bail, the left’s soft-on-crime crusade has turned once-great cities into dangerous wastelands. Streets that were safe under leaders like Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump are now overrun by crime, drugs, and fear.

Democrats call it “justice reform,” but it’s really moral collapse. They defend criminals as “victims of circumstance,” ignore border chaos, and sneer at citizens like former Marine Daniel Penny who protect others. Meanwhile, progressives look the other way as Antifa thugs riot and leftist radicals justify violence against their political opponents.

Miranda Devine’s message is clear: lawlessness is a choice — one the Left keeps making. When you destroy accountability, you destroy civilization. The result is what we see now: broken cities, broken lives, and a political movement more loyal to ideology than to innocent Americans.

"The intense blowback against Trump’s efforts to restore law and order rams home the point that it is a deliberate choice by progressives to preserve lawlessness in their cities. When you think about it, the strategy seems to have paid off, if all you care about is power, since progressives have a generational stranglehold on the cities with the worst crime."
