Spencer Pratt's brilliant but quixotic campaign to become mayor of Los Angeles has come to an end. Fraud is the best-case scenario. The worst case is that Los Angeles simply cannot be saved: too many elites profit from its ongoing decline, and too many non-whites voluntarily choose ruin over recovery out of racial resentment. Yet this does not mean solutions are impossible — they just will not come from within the city itself. What is needed is nothing less than an American reconquest.
