TKC BREAKING AND EXCLUSIVE NEWS!!! KANSAS CITY VOTER TURNOUT ESTIMATES PLUMMET: HAVE PREZ TRUMP PROTESTERS FAILED TO INSPIRE CHANGE LOCALLY?!?!



Amid so many local post-election demonstrations against Prez Trump garnering thousands of protesters and hours of mainstream media coverage, the reality is that only a small fraction of those angry Kansas City residents will be voting in the upcoming election on April 4th.

Turnout numbers in Missouri and KC proper suggest that less than 12% of registered voters will bother to cast their ballot a week from today.

Before news of this low number was put on blast to campaigners, locals offered this encouraging word that hints at the desperate situation for local Democracy . . .

KC Election Board: "Municipal elections in KC (like the one coming up on April 4th) typically have the lowest turnout. YOU have the power to change this!"

To wit . . .

AFTER ONLY FOUR MONTHS FOLLOWING THE ELECTION OF PREZ TRUMP, THE ZEAL OF PROTESTERS TO PARTICIPATE IN DEMOCRACY HAS ALL BUT EVAPORATED AND LOCAL CORPORATE CONSULTANTS ARE COUNTING ON LOW TURNOUT TO PUSH FORWARD HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES ON PO'FOLK!!!

Meanwhile, some really nice causes like the new doggie shelter or less stringent marijuana laws are in jeopardy of defeat despite grassroots support and simply because so many protesters show no indication of getting involved in politics at the city level.

Legendary former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill once said that all politics is local and while this axiom has proven correct time and time again . . . It doesn't bode well for the promises of protesters to oppose the status quo which elected the widely unpopular but still reigning Prez Trump.

You decide . . .

  1. Trump doesn't keep his promises, why should anybody else?

    1. There's a bright side here, voters won't have to see those stupid vagina hats any longer.

    2. Right cause at least he's white. I mean had that the black guy lied, colluded with the russians, hired family members to cush jobs in the whitehouse, used his office to further his business interests and golfed literally every weekend of his presidency. I am sure you'd give em a pass like faux news did and does with the unqualified white guy right?

  2. Hate to be a contrarian here but there's a really good chance that we will see a surprising number of voters for question 5 - The marijuana law reform. That's the one that will definitely change the system. What I hope is that they realize that voting for more taxes will only hurt their future in KCMO and decide to vote against the establishment who want a blank check but aren't willing to put anything down in writing.

  3. Voter turnout for KCMO city elections has nothing to do with Trump.
    It's because residents have given up on folks at 12th and Oak who constantly lie to them, spend lavishly on ridiculous "projects" like the streetcar, regularly ignore basic services like public safety and street maintenance, and subsidize swells and insiders who would much rather spend the taxpayers' money on their dreams than their own.
    All wrapped into fake polling and expensive campaigns to bamboozle what few residents who do go to the polls to refill the money trough for the next round.
    If this poll is correct, just TWELVE PERCENT of KCMO voters will likely provide the clown show at city hall with at least $800 million more to play with for the next decades.
    And they'll get what they deserve.
    It never changes.
    KCMO government= the sucking chest wound of the metro.

  5. 6:42 You are a typical MORON Trump has kept his promises it's the DUMB ASS democrats that are blocking him on everything he does. Get a clue dumb fuck.

    Kansas City will vote and pass the bond, it's going to be hilarious to watch, but not as hilarious as the second year when everyone gets nailed. Even real estate agents are commenting on people paying too much for their houses and when it comes time to sell you will be stuck.

    So put on your pink pussy hats spread you legs and prepare to get screwed, remember to be just like Madonna. free head for everyone, you men too.

  6. It's a Democrat City full of white liberals who align themselves with the black block vote in order to grow government, taxes and suck the life out of business with regulation, racial based employment restrictions/laws and the support of the local media.

    Translation = A dying city full of violence, intimidation, graft, corruption, under-the-table insider political deals that benefit developers and payoffs to effect those initiatives that only benefit the very few in government, huge law firms and big business.

    Further translation = Detroit

    In Chicago this last year, 66,000 people (Mostly white I am guessing) left COOK COUNTY. The dramatic increase in crime, malfeasance, graft and in a city so politically correct that it is impossible to live a normal life there, resulted in semi-slow motion, full scale evacuation.

    All over America, cities that are run by Liberal/Progressive Mayors, are in decline.

    The Rule Of Law, The Social Contract and Common Sense count for the taxpayers that actually fund the local government. Kansas City and other Progressive Run Cites are microcosms in a dying America, of the failure of tax and spend economies that slowly, inevitably run out of actual workers in the private sector to fund the ignorance of Socialist, Government legislation and tax plans based on the ability to extort money from the diminishing number of for profit producers, supporting the aforementioned non profit parasites.

    Again, Detroit and dozens of other dying metropolises where the quality of life is threatened by idiotic Progressive initiatives where there has been, and WILL NEVER BE, any accountability for monies spent in pursuit of Vanity Projects, "pie-in-the-sky-build-it-they-will-come" projects and a surfeit of freebies given to local organizations that piss away cash as if they were run by the Kansas City School District is a sure fire recipe for decline.

    No one shows up, because the only folks who would vote against it, have already left for lives in better places.

    I was killed in a Black ON White Hate crime at 99th and Walnut three weeks ago and no one cares in Kansas City because it doesn't fit the Liberal, Kansas City Narrative.

  8. Hey 7:34 AM explain to us how the democrats are blocking Trump on everything he does when the republicans have majorities in the Senate and a super-majority in the House? I swear low-IQ voters like you are the reason this country is screwed. Then you have the balls to call someone else a moron? God damn your dumb. Why don't you go slide back under the trailer you crawled out of you fucking rube.

  13. 8:06 is that same idiot that's been stalking an imaginary chuck. He's just replaced "fucking Nazi" and " repubtard shit-flake" with "lickspittle press" and "Brownshirts."

  14. The only way to fix Kansas Shity is to cut off all Federal funding and entitlements and let the exports back up their left wing agenda with their own money. Then is a a couple of years just bring in the bull dozers and put KC in its rightful place.

    Tony, "po'folk" don't own property. Your confusing the muddle class with the poor.

    That's easy to do because the muddle class whines so much, & has such a great sense of entitlement. Much more so than the actual poor.

  18. It's emotionally draining to want change in this city..when the powers of government lavish gifts aka new suits to the powerful urban preachers whom in turn advise their congregations which way is best.. that's why you get the 7- 8000 BLOCK OF votes always voting government first anybody mounting a challenge is in the hole from day one..

  22. You guys worry about Tony Funkenshyster way too much. Hell, if he hasn't straightened out anything in West Virginia he sure as hell doesn't have any power or influence in this blog. Not like he is flowing with positive, objective or revolutionary solutions to anything.
