Is this about covid ?

Yes, there are a handful in Moco that are great. I would send my kids to every single HS in Hoco

This.

Some of what OP said is right, but it is so outlandish, it's hard to take the post seriously.

That said- I moved to Hoco 6 years ago. Enough was enough.

Moco is bad, but I don't think Hoco is any better than Moco. You all have even higher taxes than Moco.

True but we still have good schools, and we (narrowly) defeated being a sanctuary county.

The top schools in the state are in MoCo

OK then let me calm down and try again. This is why MoCo is failing:

- Council supports crony capitalism for developer donors
- Executive doesn’t appear to support private sector at all
- Council supports meaningless social justice initiatives
- Executive has bombastic history of leftist rhetoric and associations
- Executive favors insider supporters over regular constituents
- Like other leftist regimes, when you tax and “social justice” your tax base to oblivion, they leave.

Got it?

What a thoughtful and persuasive argument...

I know you're just venting, so I won't bother explaining how you might actually be able to change some people's minds.

Your post seems extreme.

I will admit I didn’t buy in MoCo because of the politics. It’s pretty obvious that it’s a leftist regime that doesn’t support what’s best for my family (well funded police force, strong public schools, low crime, reasonable taxes etc).

I feel bad for the people who bought in nicer neighborhoods and didn’t realize the local government is against pretty much everything they stand for. It will only get worse as these policies are implemented.

Anyone who is concerned should move now while they can.

If MoCo was Cuba, more people would be wearing their frickin masks when they go to stores or walk on narrow sidewalks/paths.

Montgomery County is quickly becoming its own case study in failure of leftist governance. People with any talent or high earning potential are fleeing in droves. Thankfully, instead of killing them like a true communist government would, the government just taxes their real estate transfer to death.
Yes, they tax you even if you try to leave the People’s Republic of Montgomery County.

The council wants to abolish the police, advocate for cultural issues nobody really cares about, and support crony capitalism (not free markets) with corporate welfare for real estate developers.He only council member I like is Andrew Friedson, who is reasonable and fiscally sane.

The executive is worse. He lets organized labor, especially public sector unions, run everything, he won’t open schools, he openly crushes businesses as part of his vision to dismantle capitalism.
Marc Elrich for a FACT has admired Cuba and the Castro regime all his life. He was a student radical, a member of SDS, he is a Marxist, he has endorsed Communism and other Communist regimes in Latin America. I don’t think people understand how dangerous he is. He doesn’t want to see anything built by a corporation, and what you’ll get is beat up looking buildings and roads like you see in Cuba. You can tell that Elrich LOVES this pandemic because it enables the government to seize more power.

What’s more, is like any Communist Party, Elrich has an inside circle who get everything their way, they get all the access, all the favors, and they are all he listens to.

I say all this and I am a Democrat. Not just because of the one party state. I have voted Democrat all my life and I do not support any Republicans today. I hate Trump, and what I especially hate about Trump is his authoritarianism and affinity for Communist regimes and dictators. How does an anti-Communist Democrat survive in Montgomery County?

you sure sound like one and not a Russian troll

OP, I agree with you.
I wish we could move, but our jobs have a pinned.

Okay Fulgencio, calm down.
