Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson just took the redpill.

Welcome to the domestic-extremist club, mayor!
From his article:
American cities need Republicans — and Republicans need American cities. When my political hero Theodore Roosevelt was born, only 20% of Americans lived in urban areas. By the time he was elected president, that share had doubled to 40%. Today, it stands at 80%. As America's cities go, so goes America.
Unfortunately, many of our cities are in disarray. Mayors and other local elected officials have failed to make public safety a priority or to exercise fiscal restraint. Most of these local leaders are proud Democrats who view cities as laboratories for liberalism rather than as havens for opportunity and free enterprise.
Too often, local tax dollars are spent on policies that exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living. And too many local Democrats insist on virtue signaling — proposing half-baked government programs that aim to solve every single societal ill — and on finding new ways to thumb their noses at Republicans at the state or federal level. Enough. This makes for good headlines, but not for safer, stronger, more vibrant cities.
A black leader switching to the Republicans is like a Muslim becoming Christian in Pakistan: There's zero worldly profit and a whole lot of persecution in store.
Live look at the Democratic Party sending out its talking points to CBS and MSNBC:
I guess you could argue that in Texas, it's still politically advantageous to be conservative, but that's not true pretty much anywhere else. And you can expect this man's life to be sifted through with a fine-tooth comb as the lefties look for any possible scandal they can use to totally destroy him now. The hegemony of the Left is absolute: One must never defy the Party on even the most trivial matters.

In the coming years, I will continue to pursue my three-pronged goal for Dallas: to become the safest major city in America with the best park system in Texas and the lowest taxes in our fast-growing North Texas region. And I intend to keep the promise I made to Dallas voters in 2019 and refrain from endorsing candidates seeking partisan political office while I am mayor. This is about promoting policies and principles, not personalities and politicians.
Spoken like a true radical!
Now if only becoming a Republican meant what it meant 30 years ago, before most of the GOP became RINOs and slowly merged into the Uniparty.
