Trump exposes Biden's intent to destroy suburban America

President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday to respond to Biden's political plans should be become the president come November, tweeting that his opponent wants "to Abolish Police, Abolish ICE, Abolish Bail, Abolish Suburbs, Abolish the 2nd Amendment – and Abolish the American Way of Life. No one will be SAFE in Joe Biden’s America!"

This did not sit well with Vox journalist, Aaron Rupar, who responded to Trump's tweet: "By 'Abolish Suburbs,' Trump is referring to Biden’s support for a federal rule meant to desegregate them. It’s racism and white grievance through and through."

Outside of Rupar's snide remark about "racism" and "white grievance," he draws attention to the claim that suburbs are still something that needs to be "desegregated."

It is a myth that American suburbia is completely under the domain of white Americans. CBS reported in 2016 that suburban segregation has been on a steady decline since the 1970's, adding that "by 2010, a majority of residents in each of the nation’s three major minority groups—black, Asian and Latino—lived in the suburbs," and now represent "a combined 35 percent of the suburban population."

Twitter user @SelinaDavis73 responded to Rupar: "That's one way to characterize the ~800 pages of regs around AFFH. Another wd be that it superimposes federal & regional control over local zoning authority & seeks to force 1) surrender of local authority to regions dominated by large cities & 2) urbanization & densification."

Stanley Kurtz of the National Review wrote in late June that "Joe Biden and the Democrats want to abolish America's suburbs. Biden and his party have embraced yet another dream of the radical Left: a federal takeover, transformation, and de facto urbanization of America's suburbs."

He goes on to say that "the suburbs are the swing constituency in our national elections. If suburban voters knew what the Democrats had in store for them, they'd run screaming in the other direction." He added that it was not just the Democrats but the Republicans are refusing to take the Democrats to task over this disastrous anti-suburban plan.

With the election fast-approaching in November, this is an opportunity for Republicans to expose Biden's housing plans.  

A similar situation was brought up during former president Barack Obama's time in office, where Kurtz noted that Obama was no fan of the suburbs either, but was rather a proponent of what is known as regionalism—"the idea that the suburbs should be folded into the cities, merging schools, housing, transportation, and above all taxation."

Kurtz added that "the Democrat war on the suburbs is a golden gift to President Trump," and that "if there were ever proof that Biden has shed his centrism and been taken over by the Left, this is it."
