JD’s manually curated links for God-fearing MAGA patriots
In this Legal Insurrection article, Leslie Eastman frames Spencer Pratt’s Los Angeles mayoral campaign as a surprisingly energetic grassroots challenge built around civic beauty, common sense, and a rejection of managed decline.
- Pratt is described as gaining momentum after a strong debate appearance and polling movement that reportedly puts him within striking distance of Mayor Karen Bass.
- The article highlights Pratt’s pledge to restore beauty to Los Angeles by bringing back Art Deco architecture and rejecting what he called “prison-like” high-density structures.
- Eastman argues that Pratt’s campaign is tapping into nostalgia for an older Los Angeles associated with glamour, civic pride, and architectural ambition.
- The piece gives background on Art Deco, describing it as a 1920s–1930s style marked by geometric forms, streamlined design, industrial materials, and optimism about progress.
- Los Angeles is presented as a natural home for Art Deco because of its historic rise alongside the movie industry, aviation, shipping, and studio-era glamour.
- The article contrasts Pratt’s rhetoric about beauty and revitalization with Karen Bass’s focus on providing dental care for homeless drug addicts, portraying that as a symbol of political decline.
- Eastman suggests Pratt’s campaign is resonating because many voters may be tired of leaders who merely manage decay instead of trying to reverse it.
- The article concludes that even if Pratt does not win, his competitiveness should serve as a warning to Los Angeles’ entrenched political class.
