Pattern recognition is the leftist's worst enemy, which is why they ignore it and why all of their plans turn to shit.

Yes, keep funnelling useless welfare eaters and low class illegals that hate all of the richer people than them in cities, expand the welfare state, after all big cities can afford it! But wait, companies are leaving because the taxes are too high, and all of the middle class and rich people left. Now I just have a concrete jungle filled with a giant population of hostile, uneducated, poor people with no actual functioning community. The buildings are crumbling, the murder rate is through the roof, and the streets are a warzone.

Whelp, better move.onto the next city and try that exact same plan again!
