Residents of the city of Massachusetts, who have declared themselves a 'trans -sancoma', say that they are concerned that Social Justice Warriors have hijacked their advice and put their hometown in the ground.
This month Worcester came to the National Spotlights when colorfully dressed activists took over a hearing and the town hall demanded that they gave more 'protection' because of the return of Donald Trump to the White House.
A parade of crusaders covered in wigs, makeup, jewelry and towing costumes complained about 'unsafe' in the liberal bastion, screaming and crying while they broadcast grievances from the stage.
But long -term residents say that the hearing was a 'shame', and DailYMail.com told that their progressive council is more interested in show boating than tackling a rising murder rate.
The Town Hall is obsessed with trans -rights, the war of Israel in Gaza, Migrant Protection and 'Virtue Signaling' while the second Trump administration rolls out its hard policy, they said.
They called Trans-Activist Allie Cislo, and non-binaire councilor Thu Nguyen, who left their post to complain about 'transphobia' and a 'poisonous council culture', as leaders of the movement.
All the while, they said, the real work of the city council has been given up and problems such as homelessness, crime, poor social provisions and the closing of companies have resisted.
They also vitally imported federal financing for the services that are used by 207,000 inhabitants can be at risk if the city becomes an arch -enemy of the Trump government.

Critics say that instead, council members must concentrate on the homelessness crisis of Worcester, which rose by 20 percent last year
Johanna Hampton-Dance, a local musician who ran twice in the council, says that Worcester has become a national joke because the local bureaucracy 'got out of hand'.
“Radicals push their agenda for social justice, when the city council has to deal with cleaning up the waste and releasing our streets,” Hampton-Dance told DailyMail.com.
“For the vast majority, screaming and screaming is foolish and embarrassing, and these people have to bring themselves together and have conversations for adults about difficult issues.”
Chris Ryan, a local member of the GOP committee, said that the 9-2 votes of the council to become a trans sanctuary was little more than 'implementation theater' that influenced the rights of no one.
“They had at the tantrum when bullying the city council to give them what they want to drop,” Ryan told DailyMail.com.
“They just can't tolerate that President Trump has won the elections. This is just their way of acting. '
In the session of 11 February, Cislo and others bought the orders from Trump against Transvrouwen who participate in women's sports and the order of the federal government to recognize only two sexes, male and feminine.
One speaker, a blue wig, white gloves and comic eye make -up, said she needs the city to protect her because the federal government will not do that, and that she was 'afraid of Trump'.
Another speaker said they 'shaking' now, while they mourning the death of countless LGBTQ friends.
The individual also complained about 'fascism' in the government and said that they 'argue for my life'.

Residents say that Worcester is in reality tolerant and hospitable for all newcomers, with large annual Pride events
Hampton-Dance and others said that the speakers looked hysterical and loose.
The Democratic stronghold is tolerant and hospitable, she added, where he organizes large Pride events and various LGBTQ bars, clubs and locations.
It was not the first time that the Worcester Council was drawn in hours of debates about minorities, or issues that go much further than the assignment.
In January, dozens of speakers spent two hours calculating the massive Palestinian death toll in Gaza, but managed to get support for a resolution about ending the humanitarian crisis there.
The Democratic mayor Joseph Petty of the city used a council meeting that same month to decorate Trump's action against irregular immigrants.
Officials and agents would not collaborate with federal deportation raids, he promised.
In another public comment section, the council members engaged a petition to create a queer and trans -feathering power fund of $ 500,000 that is topped up every year with the dime of the taxpayer.
Colleen West, 61, a resident of Worcester, says that there are too many Loony Council meetings aimed at special interest groups.
'It's just crazy for me,' the self -written 'conservative' told DailyMail.com.
'A fund of $ 500,000 annually for their community. Now each subgroup will ask for its own fund. Wherever you are social, nobody wants to pay for that. '
Particular debates have seen the Council everyday but essential issues, such as crime, homelessness, drug addiction and filling in holes, she added.
“The city has certainly changed over the years,” said West.
'I still feel safe where I live. But you have to view yourself when you go anywhere in the dark. '
The city council has also focused on Israel's war in Gaza, which goes much further than his assignment

The Worcester police investigate a shooting in the midst of the worst year before killing on record
Worcester was once an important industrial hub from Central Massachusetts, but the economy refueled during production after the Second World War.
An influx of immigrants and education, medicines and biotech companies have stimulated the city, but signs of social problems continue to exist.
In 2024, the Worcester police registered the worst year in decades for murders, with 16 cases – a large increase in the six in 2023. Arms crimes have been crawling there for years.
The police fell over an apartment, arrested three people and grabbed weapons, ammunition, cocaine, fentanyl and crack cocaine on 10 February, the latter in a series of busts.
Worcester has a serious drug problem, sometimes ranks the worst city in the Bay State for deaths by opioids.
The homelessness crisis of the area also deepens.
It jumped with 20 percent of 1,607 unmarried people in 2023 to 1,927 in 2024, many of them children, says the Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance.
In a sign of the falling economy of Worcester, a price hopper -Supermarkt was closed in January.
That followed on the closure of two local branches of Stop & Shop last year.
Some locals without vehicles struggled to get groceries, said Hampton-Dance.
Jay Givan, a resident of nearby West Boylston, says that city officials should concentrate less on 'preference pronouns and lifestyle choices', and more on the budget and crumbling infrastructure.
“Worcester currently has the fourth worst pension debt per head of the country, the roads are a mess and commercial taxes are the seventh highest rates for real estate tax in the state,” Givan said.
In recent years, Worcester has used the federal subsidies of millions of dollars for transport and infrastructure upgrades, shelters for homelessness and support for first home buyers.
Homelessness rose by 20 percent last year to 1,927 unmarried people, says the Central Massachusetts Housing Alliance

Meanwhile, the city greenhouse is getting dry.
Worcester Public Schools followed plans last year to tidy 163 educational positions from the 45 schools in the budget of 2025, confronted with an imminent shortage of $ 22 million.
Against this background, the inhabitants of Worcester say that they are concerned that antics on the council can make the Trump angry angry and to threaten future federal payouts that keep the city standing.
“We have Donald Trump in the White House. He has the opportunity to stop financing to enter our city, “said Hampton-Dance.
“That money pays for programs for the youth and a hundred plus programs that benefit everyone in the city, not just marginalized groups.”
Dailymail.com contacted Cislo and Nguyen for comment.
