Not even moonbattery-addled Seattle is too far gone to have immediate buyer’s remorse after electing Marxist Mayor Katie Wilson.

Fox News reports:

Wilson, a self-proclaimed socialist, recently went viral for laughing off the exodus of billionaires and business leaders from her city, saying, “I think the claims that millionaires are going to leave our state are super overblown,” and adding, “the ones that leave? Like, bye.”

Now, less than five months into Wilson’s term, Seattle Democratic Councilmember Rob Saka admitted to the New York Times, “I am gravely concerned,” telling the outlet, “This is real.”

Just recently, Saka was a fan, barking leftist talking points about “affordability, community, and fighting back against a resurgent Trump agenda” in support of Katie Wilson.

Even Starbucks is bailing out, expanding in Nashville while reducing its corporate presence in its original home. Former CEO Howard Schulz has already escaped to Florida, coinciding with the state’s new millionaires tax.

Seattle has sucked Washington into the vortex known as the Democrat Death Spiral, by which productive citizens escape leftist rule, leaving an ever-more left-wing constituency that elects ever more greedy and demented moonbats, securing permanent Democrat rule and irreversible decline.
