The irony is thick here.
In 2015, many liberal residents in Hamtramck, Michigan, celebrated as their city attracted international attention for becoming the first in the United States to elect a Muslim-majority city council.
They viewed the power shift and diversity as a symbolic but meaningful rebuke of the Islamophobic rhetoric that was a central theme of then Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s campaign.
This week many of those same residents watched in dismay as a now fully Muslim and socially conservative city council passed legislation banning Pride flags from being flown on city property that had – like many others being flown around the country – been intended to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
You don’t have to be retarded to be a liberal, but it sure helps.
I thought it was mandatory?
Just a side effect actually.
Cumulative brain damage from forcing themselves to believe 12 impossible things before breakfast every single day.
Some call it immigration while others call it “replacement”. Either way, progressives get their poetic justice and the rest of us observe Mark Steyn’s prescience.
John, Well said, and now that those lib idiots are reaping what they sowed, it might be entertaining to watch when their next election rolls around. Just as government is not our friend, neither is islam, or the alphabet mafia. But boy, we do live in interesting times.
You rarely get what you vote for. But you do in Hamtramck, Michigan. I note that Brampton, Ontario is moving in that direction, as is Milton, Ontario.
Ain’t identity politics swell?
The BLM narrative collapsed. Partly because of their actions in public (riots/defund the police etc.) but also behind the scenes where the leadership spent millions of dollars on homes and other things. There was a void to fill.
Cue the onslaught of everything trans.
If there was a timeline of the terms “BLM” and “Trans(phobia)” in social media, I can guarantee you’d see the former go down in popularity just the the latter took off.
What the left wasn’t expecting was the Muslims (another past pet project for the left) to turn on them.

One does not need to be particularly prescient to have predicted that. As Rusty points out w/ the first comment, Lieberals aren’t particularly bright. Their forward thinking ends just beyond the tip of their nose. This backlash was as predictable as the sun rising.
Much the same as many of the people leaving California for destinations in less repressive red states will bring their destructive politics w/ them. As have many who have migrated to Alberta.
I’m ready to move from ON to lifeboat Alberta and what I’m bringing is my guns and ammo.
RNrn
At a half a million new inbred goat shagging retards a year…ain’t no lifeboat in this country.
PS Will Alberta secede so I have a refuge to get away from this madness.
“The irony is thick here.”
The voters are thicker.
“The voters are thicker.”
And too stupid to grasp their stupidity, as demonstrated by some who post in here!
Two links to the same article, but w/ additional snark.

I would sooner live under Islamic law than Woke law.
They are both contemptible shite, but Islam is less shitey.
Unfortunately, those are the choices – Judeo-Christian civilization, “the West”, is dead.
Take your choice – beat with a stick or constantly exposed to dicks.

The stick or the dick? Hmmmm… decisions, decisions…
Fred, I get your sentiment but some travel in the middle east and observation of the Dhimmi (non Muslim) within all communities under the Islamic rule of law will quickly have you reconsider your position. `https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhimmi
The pervasive subjugation that the none Muslim must be subjected to by Muslims for the average Muslim to remain compliant with Sharia Law according to Islamic scripture (Koran) results in a life that is hell on earth for the Kaffir.
But Pierre and Lester told us that all cultures are equal. Do you mean to say that statement was a lie? How unfortunate! (sarcasm off)
Sometimes agendas have agendas of their own.. Islam has noticed and they are not impressed.. I suggest you figure it out before “THEIR” nutcases come a calling..
The game.. You get what you want and then you demand more.. Its not a one and done situation.. Just look at all the groups plagiarizing each other.. From get off my land to black history MONTH.. Everybody wants some..
Problem is its more of a punishment than a learning moment.. That is a one and done..
In the future, I look forward to those same liberals trying to push the Islamic sect out in order to regain control of their political landscape because the liberals don’t realize that once Islamic rule has been established, the region so governed is assumed to be Dar Islam, and is destined, according to Islamic law, to remain that way until the establishment of the worldwide Caliphate and must be defended at all costs, even with the specter of war.
It is obvious you have done your reading. To bad our politicians do not. Well said.
Precisely why Liberals avoided Dearborn and Hamtramck like the plague when they wanted a cake baked for a gay wedding, preferring instead the meek and mild Christian types in obscure Colorado towns who they’re still trying to destroy btw.
However, if they’re ever feeling brave here’s a pro tip: Leave the car running and have an escape plan.
While I’m here – What happened to Ferris?
In what Islamic country was it that I read about them giving gays lessons in sky diving off tall buildings? Hm, can’t remember. I wonder what the Ayatollah thinks of the trans folks.
No, all cultures aren’t equal, but if you take just the good parts from several and mix ’em all together, you might have a livable country.
Political correctness is a product of the loony left. It has a hierarchy based on opposition to the traditions of western civilization. Thus capitalism is bad, socialism good. Heterosexuality is something to be ashamed of while being one of the alphabet people is celebrated. Judeo/Christianity, which is responsible in great part for western civilization, is the worst of all beliefs in the supernatural, while islam, the greatest enemy of that faith is therefore the best.
The loony left is totally irrational. They believe in the saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend” and so they ignore what islam believes and stands for, and then react with shocked disbelief when the truth hits them in the face.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Going to be interesting come next election. Will the “progressives vote against the muslims? It seems likely. But will the conservatives vote for them? As Fred Z. prefers, would they sooner live under Islamic law than Woke law? I think many would, if those are the only two choices.
Please oh please let the degenerates make their stand against the goat shaggers. Let there be protests and drag shows at the mosques.
Hold my seat while I make popcorn.
It’s an “own goal” to be cheering on the islamists against the woke. When the woke “leave the flock” they haven’t any texts to cite indicating that their heads be lopped off.
Unlike the islamists.
In the ayatollah’s country, the woke are mostly silent except for the splat sound after they’re tossed from a building.
I’m with the Muslims on this one. The irony is sweet!
You can almost see the smoke coming out of the ears of the Leftist Bigots who now have nothing but HATEFUL thoughts about their dear Muslim neighbors.
Ahahahahah. In the end the Mussies when they get control of the US and Canada which is not too far away may save western civilization before they end up destroying it.
Si it looks like it will be the Muslims vs the Commie Woke army.
One side is afraid of and hates guns, doesn’t know which bathroom to use, and curls up in a fetal position if someone uses the wrong pronouns. Their slogan is “Hate has no home here.” (They’re just kidding about that because they are the champion haters of anyone who disagrees with them.)
The other side isn’t against the occasional beheading, stabbings as needed, and the odd bombing here and there either remotely set off or delivered via a suicide bomber. Their slogan is “Death to the infidels.” (They aren’t kidding about that.)
Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.
I feel like hurling every time I see one of those “Hate Has No Home Here” signs that promote hate-free entities like:
– BLM (2020 $billion riots and 30+ dead)
– LGBTQWERTY (the trans wing is insane, calling for the sea of Matt Walsh and anyone else opposing their grooming scheme. They also call for a “Trans Day of Vengeance” [wear your mask] )
– Islam(ists), with daily beheadings, terrorist attacks and execution of gays
They need the Antifa flag to make it a true Moron Superfecta.
They are the poster children for the term “useful idiots”. Eighty-five years ago they were the ones encouraging family members to come out of hiding in the basement to show the Nazis how tolerant and cooperative they were.
Smart first step, as most people are fed up with a month of pride and anything transgender. No one will object, including new immigrants.
Beware first steps …
Watch for school intervention.
