Political consultants spend a lot of time trying to manufacture enthusiasm. And they make a lot of money doing it \u2014 or failing to do it, in many cases. Kamala Harris\u2019 campaign ended up in debt, to the tune of tens of millions of dollars, because they paid a few celebrities to pretend to like her. This kind of political marketing is big business because, increasingly, our politicians are out of ideas. They\u2019re inauthentic. They\u2019re not particularly bright. So they cut some checks, and hope for the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the best kind of political messaging, and by far the most effective, isn\u2019t really political at all. If you want to motivate millions of people to vote in a particular way, it\u2019s actually not that difficult. It doesn\u2019t require a convoluted argument, or an appeal to authority, or exhaustive statistics, or anything like that. All you need to do is show people what\u2019s been taken from them.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have to demonstrate that, not too long ago, people lived much better lives, on a day-to-day basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have to illustrate, in an objective fashion, that the birthright of millions of Americans has been stolen.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s harder to find a man who\u2019s angrier \u2014 and justifiably so \u2014 than a man whose children will be forced to grow up in a more dangerous, more dirty, less wealthy, and less proud nation than the one his ancestors did. This is why Trump\u2019s famous slogan, \u201cMake America Great Again,\u201d resonated to the degree that it did.<\/span><\/p>\n

And it\u2019s also why this footage \u2014 posted by the official account of Fenway Park in Boston on April 2nd \u2014 has racked up more than ten million views, and radicalized pretty much everyone who\u2019s seen it.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

In their post, Fenway Park was attempting to mark the occasion of Opening Day.<\/span><\/p>\n

And to do that, they posted old footage of previous Opening Days at Fenway Park in the 1950s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s well-dressed. They\u2019re behaving in an orderly fashion. Everything looks clean and bright and safe. You can\u2019t help but notice that pretty much everyone is white. And in general, they all seem to be happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Immediately, tens of thousands of comments began flooding in. Here\u2019s just a handful of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cape Aerial wrote<\/a>, \u201c<\/span>It\u2019s wild how you can post a video from 60 years ago in Boston and it immediately looks like (what Democrats call) \u2018White supremacist\u2019 propaganda.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And on and on. Every single comment was like this.<\/span><\/p>\n

So eventually, the Fenway Park account decided to shut down the comments section. No one else could reply to their video, at least not directly.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas <\/span>wrote this message<\/span><\/a> about Fenway Park\u2019s video on his own feed.<\/span><\/p>\n

A world my generation never got to experience. Our country declined so much in just a few decades, and it\u2019s utterly radicalizing.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You can make the case that this short, one-minute video from Fenway Park is the single most effective piece of political messaging of the year. Everyone knows that Boston no longer looks anything like that footage from the 1950s. And everyone knows that, since the 1950s, every single major city in the United States has transformed in very similar ways, from Los Angeles to Detroit to New York.<\/span><\/p>\n

For simplicity\u2019s sake, let\u2019s stick to Boston for now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a look at <\/span>this chart<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"https:\/\/x.com\/BWLH_\/status\/2039907062256189732\"<\/p>\n

@BWLH\/X.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The demographic element of this story is unavoidable. In 1950, white people accounted for 95% of Boston\u2019s population. As of last year, whites are now a minority. The white population dropped to 45% in 2018, and it\u2019s been falling ever since. This is the kind of mind-blowing, historic demographic transformation that, if it were happening to any other race or ethnicity, it would be treated as a crisis and a tragedy. But for white people, it\u2019s supposed to be a cause for celebration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than a quarter of Boston\u2019s residents were born in a foreign country \u2014 typically the Dominican Republic, China, or Haiti. <\/span>According<\/span> to the city government<\/a>, \u201c234,792 residents (37% of Boston\u2019s population) speak another language at home,\u201d besides English. And more than 105,000 people \u2014 16% of Boston Residents aged five and older \u2014 \u201cdo not speak English as their primary language and have some language access need in speaking, reading, writing, or understanding English.\u201d Instead of English, they\u2019re speaking Spanish, \u201cHaitian Creole,\u201d Mandarin and Vietnamese. And those are just the official numbers. A lot of illegal aliens don\u2019t respond to these surveys. So the actual figures are probably even worse \u2014 a lot worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a transformation that no American should tolerate. It is total demographic replacement. Even if Boston (and other major cities) were importing high-achieving, law-abiding foreigners \u2014 which they aren\u2019t \u2014 it would still be unacceptable. This country was built, in every meaningful way, predominantly by white people who came from Europe and descended from Europeans. Those Americans created a distinct culture and way of life \u2014 which is why we\u2019re basically the only country on the planet anymore that actually respects the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion, or that\u2019s capable of sending men to the moon. That\u2019s worth defending. But unless we make the active, conscious choice to defend this country, we will lose it. That\u2019s how the Bolsheviks conquered Russia \u2014 people got too complacent and too passive. It\u2019s also how other Western countries, including the UK and Canada, have collapsed in a very short period of time. They\u2019re unrecognizable now. They\u2019ve been colonized, without a single shot being fired, by foreigners who have nothing in common with them. The same thing is happening to us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a look at this footage from Opening Day at Fenway, from a couple of days ago. <\/span><\/p>\n

See if you notice any differences from the 1950s:<\/span><\/p>\n

The mayor is a Taiwanese communist. And everyone is booing her, probably because the audience at baseball games skews conservative. Presumably, they\u2019re not happy with the fact that Boston obstructs federal immigration law or that Massachusetts has one of the highest tax burdens in the entire country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to one <\/span>recent poll<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u2026a third of Massachusetts voters are either personally considering moving out of the state in 2026 or know someone who is thinking about leaving.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

You see, it turns out that, when you discriminate against white people and import a zillion foreigners into a welfare state, everything gets more expensive for productive people. And then those productive people move to Florida. Who could\u2019ve seen that coming?<\/span><\/p>\n

In the wake of that Boston video, conservatives have posted a slew of similar videos from major cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look at this video of NYC in 1975, see how peaceful it was?<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll put the viral videos from New York and Boston up on the screen now. And on the surface, these videos seem just like the one that Fenway Park\u2019s official account posted. They were clearly shot a long time ago. And they portray major American cities that are unrecognizable compared to today.<\/span><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s important, when you\u2019re looking at these videos, to understand exactly when they were recorded. Some of this footage (particularly the footage from New York) is actually from the 1970\u2019s. And regardless of what this footage might imply, that was not a good decade for New York. Cities like New York were a lot more dangerous in 1975 than they are today. If you were alive at that time, or if you saw the movie \u201cDeath Wish,\u201d then you know exactly what I\u2019m talking about. So right now, all over social media, conservatives are posting videos of 1970\u2019s New York, as if it was some kind of utopia. And various figures on the Left are pointing out that these conservatives are wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a sign, from my perspective, that conservatives need to learn a lot more about the specific causes of urban decline in the United States. There\u2019s no other way to say this: If you think it happened after the 1970s, then you fundamentally misunderstand American history. And that\u2019s a big problem if you want to undo the damage that both political parties have done to this country.<\/span><\/p>\n

To illustrate what I\u2019m talking about, let\u2019s go back to Boston. This is a quote from the Boston Globe, written by a journalist named Ray Richard. It was published on November 1st, 1970.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It reads, \u201cThe odds are greater than they\u2019ve ever been that anyone in Boston in the wrong circumstances at the right time will be shot, stabbed, choked, burned, beaten, drowned, or kicked to death. \u2026 The wrong circumstances might be opening your garage doors to put the car away \u2014 while someone with a knife intending to rob you is hidden inside. Or sitting at a bar, minding your own business, when a fight breaks out and an onlooker \u2014 you \u2014 gets shot and dies. Or doing your assigned work as a clerk in a variety store or a bank manager when a holdup man bursts in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

That article would indicate that the 1960s were the decade when everything went south for Boston. And indeed, if you pull up the Police Commissioner\u2019s report for the City of Boston in 1969, that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll find.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take a look at this:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1966, the total number of robberies in Boston \u2014 including highway robberies, commercial robberies, home invasions and so on \u2014 was 1,121. That\u2019s a rate of 1.78 per 1,000 residents. By 1969, the total number of robberies had soared to 2,984, or 4.75 per 1,000 residents. In other words, in just three years, your odds of getting robbed in Boston increased by nearly 3 times.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

You can see how sharp the increase was. That\u2019s a chart from the same report by the Police Commissioner. Street robberies became almost exactly three times more common.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s take a look at a violent crime \u2014 aggravated assault. Let\u2019s see how that changed during the 1960s.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1966, a total of 1,029 aggravated assaults \u2014 meaning assaults committed with a gun, knife, or other dangerous weapon, including fists \u2014 were recorded in Boston. By 1969, that number had increased to 1,529. In per capita terms, that\u2019s an increase from 1.64 aggravated assaults per 1,000 residents to a rate of 2.43 aggravated assaults per 1,000 residents. Today, as of 2025, that number is even higher. Boston\u2019s rate of aggravated assault is <\/span>around<\/span><\/a> 3.7 per 1,000 residents. So in Boston, you\u2019re more than twice as likely to get attacked with a deadly weapon in 2025 as compared to 1966.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if you listen to the corporate press, including local stations, you\u2019ll hear a very different story. <\/span><\/p>\n

Watch:<\/span><\/p>\n
