Alvin Bragg, the man who conjured up 34 felonies out of his imagination and "convicted" Donald Trump, is not so keen on seeing crime and decay that is right before his eyes.

He prefers to sit among the filth and imagine a better world through painting. 

It's the perfect metaphor for the modern liberal mind. As the homeless and drug addicts use their liberally funded "harm reduction kits" to get high around him, Alvin Bragg sat down in Washington Square to paint a tree. 

Why? He believes his presence heals the city. Really. 

Manhattan’s top prosecutor showed off his painting skills at Washington Square Park this week in a bizarre bid to “heal” the city, while drug addicts nodded off all around.

Soft-on-crime District Attorney Alvin Bragg was spotted by The Post brush in hand, lost in a watercolor sketch, as part of his “art of healing” July workshop series.

The choice of location was no coincidence — the northwest corner of the park has spiraled into a depraved drug den, with syringes littering the ground and zombies shooting up on park benches and under trees.

Now, we are told that music has charms that can soothe the savage breast--at least, you might believe that as long as you don't attend a Death Metal concert or a rave--but until now, I had no idea that watercoloring among junkies could heal a city.

The more you know...

“It’s very intentional to pick that part of the park which has had some challenges,” Bragg, who was there for about an hour with his entourage and fielded questions from a handful of community members, added.

The DA’s office has been putting on these taxpayer-funded summer art workshops annually – in past years focusing on gun violence.

“It’s absolutely baffling,” fumed Trevor Sumner, Greenwich Village resident and president of the Washington Square Association.

“The whole thing is an utter farce. To have the guy who’s most responsible for the rampant drug use, mental illness and violence in the park come here to gaslight the entire neighborhood like it doesn’t exist. It’s infuriating.”

It really is a perfect metaphor for how liberals see the world--they ignore the reality before their eyes and paint a vivid world in which they are the good guys and anybody who disagrees with them is evil. They create a hellhole and call it paradise. 

Bragg played Inspector Javert to Donald Trump over his perfectly legal payment to Stormy Daniels, yet he sees actual crime and suffering, and decides to sit amongst the filth and paint a world that exists only in his imagination. 

New York City, at least, is much harder to kill than most American cities. As the financial and cultural center of the universe, it has a lot of inherent strength to draw upon, unlike cities such as Portland or Seattle. But as the decline of cities like Detroit and Chicago shows, near-total destruction is possible if you try hard enough.
