Seattle’s Socialist Surprise: “Bye Felicia” Turns into “Please Don’t Leave!”
Please play the sweet, sweet symphony of socialist schadenfreude. In the glittering emerald dumpster fire known as Seattle, a Democratic city council member—who once clapped like a trained seal for socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s “change”—is now clutching his pearls, gravely concerned about the billionaire and business exodus. Gravely concerned! The same genius who probably cheered “Eat the rich!” at every council meeting is now discovering that when you treat job creators like piñatas, they tend to flutter away to friendlier skies. Shocking. Who could’ve predicted this? Besides anyone with a pulse and two functioning brain cells.
Enter Mayor Wilson, the Lenin cosplayer without the beard or basic economics degree. This self-proclaimed socialist went full viral diva, cackling at fleeing millionaires: “The ones that leave? Like, bye.” Iconic. It’s giving “kids leaving because their toys are being shared with Timmy against their will.” Wilson’s physiognomy was the original red flag—perma-smirk of someone who thinks “seizing the means of production” won’t result in everyone producing participation trophies and empty office buildings. Starbucks, Seattle’s caffeinated golden goose, is bolting for Nashville, slashing local corporate jobs while expanding in redder pastures. Nashville gets the jobs; Seattle gets the lectures about equity.
This is peak Marxism/Leftism in action: low-IQ ideology meets reality, and reality wins every time. Tax the productive, regulate the innovative, virtue-signal the rest—and watch the tax base evaporate like commissar dreams in winter. Blue states like Washington and New York are hemorrhaging businesses to market-friendly red states, yet the left still acts bewildered. “But we welcomed the change!” Yes, darling, and change just ghosted you for lower taxes and fewer lectures.
The council member’s alarm is comedy gold. You welcomed the wolf in, comrade. Now it’s eating your lunch. “Gravely concerned” won’t bring back the billionaires you mocked on their way out. Maybe next time try capitalism—the ideology that actually works, unlike your bearded prophet’s greatest hits. Bye!
