Where to seek sanctuary if you are terrified of local progressives?

Please don't come to Frederick. We are very progressive here.

That’s funny.

I work in Frederick though don’t live there. While there may be some cool progressives there downtown with the record shop and tattoo shop etc. which is really all nice. But the progressive nature of Frederick appears more like a “cute” progressiveness than the Orwellian/totalitarian aims in MoCo.

So you keep saying. And saying and saying and saying. What is keeping you here, posting on DCUM over and over again about Moco decline into socialism and crime? Is that your side hustle? Who's paying you?

You are terrified? Of what? Humanity?
Please, take the next train, plane, or automobile (or auto train!) to Florida. ASAP. They are waiting for you.

No, it's logical to be terrified of progressive politics that will inevitably lead to more crime. We are already seeing in MoCo everyday. Carjackings, shootings, vandalism, assaults, home invasions, and murders are all up. Members of the new council are extreme anti-police types who propose asinine ideas likes community intervention specialists that will some how magically prevent crime. We all know the predictable will happen as crime will sky rocket up now that the county has no repercussions for committing crime, and no one on the streets to actually enforce the laws. People will flee high crime, schools will deteriorate, and then property values will go down. It starts snowballing with crime.

And one doesn't even have to consider greedy motivations like property values. I'm terrified of progressives because you now have to be more scared that you will become a victim of crime since there are no more consequences for criminals. Physical and bodily harm is absolutely something to be concerned about. Gangs are running rampant in MoCo. Shootings in areas like DTSS are absolutely out of control. MoCo is literally turning into Baltimore in terms of crime and quality of schools.

I'm sorry, but I think you just struggle with a lot things you don't understand and you conflate it with politics that you don't understand.
Your term "out of control" is literally out of control.
And your facts and broad statements are not factual, to say the least. Nothing has changed in this area because of politics. The area has become more populated, that's all. If you had an all Republican government here, the things you mention will still be issues. I have no idea what you mean about property values, they have skyrocketed in the last 18 months. You are worried about shootings? And yet you want Republican leadership. Seriously, dude, what have you missed here?

Seriously,leave. No one here will have a problem with that.

Sorry, you're wrong:

A lot IS changing... for the worse. MoCo is losing in the jobs race. School quality has been declining for years. Serious crimes are going up. But continue to stick your head in the sand, as if progressives hold some magical key to enlightenment they allows only them to understand what's going on in the county. Progressives are rotting the entire MoCo from within..

I've lived in Montgomery Co since 1958. Seriously, the only thing that has changed is more development. What has changed population wise is more people and more people from many countries- like everywhere. That is it. There is crime everywhere. There is far less crime here than many other places.
Schools are fine. MoCo has always has great schools. Businesses are thriving. Plenty of jobs. You are full of BS.

You are a conservative zenophobic person who might not be that bright, and you seem highly provincial. You won’t be happy here. So- go.

Dumb question - is Rockville still kneecapped by the county's extreme progressivism that is pretty much solely determined by TP/SS, or is being located in R'ville enough to insulate you against some of it? I know R'ville has a bit more independence, right?

It isn't insulated from the crime. But yes, Rockville has to opt in to county laws. So of course it can always say no.

Do you have kids in school? Because if you don't, and particularly in high school, you have no idea how violent they have become.

Mt. Airy is either Howard or Frederick Co. No differences in anything in these places. You are looking for 1955.

OP, get involved and support Sully Sullivan for MoCo Exec. He is the Republican nominee but he is not a crazy Trumper. In fact, he was one of the few to condemn Jan 6 as it was unfolding. He owns a business, grew up here, and is Black. Very interesting candidate. Like Blair, he won the endorsement of the police union. Unlike Blair, he didn't spend millions of his own money on the primary and he is not completely in bed with developers. I'm a registered Dem, so I could not vote for him in the primary, but I likely will vote for him in the general election.
