Episode 76. Byron Brown at the Casino, Trump’s War on Cities, and the Democrats’ Strategy Void
Buffalo’s Political Theater — The Buffalo News runs softball questions for former mayor Byron Brown—now working at a casino. We look at what this says about local journalism, accountability, and the Democratic machine in Western New York.
Trump’s Authoritarian Threats — Trump has openly talked about “declaring war” on Chicago and using federal power to dominate cities. These aren’t just offhand lines—they’re part of a pattern of endless authority grabs that test the limits of democracy itself.
The Democratic Party’s Failure to Counter — Nationally, Democrats remain stuck without a strategy. Whether it’s Trump’s threats against Chicago or his steady stream of authoritarian posturing, the party seems unable to frame an effective challenge.
One-Party Rule vs. Red Strongholds — In Buffalo, Democratic dominance breeds complacency. In deep-red districts, Republicans tighten their grip. Both leave voters without real choices—and both undermine democracy.
