Ah come on now, leave good old New Orleans out of it as they are a "chocolate city".

One could simply ask why red states have the lowest IQs, highest poverty, highest murder rates, highest theft rates, highest divorce rates, are the least generous, and are the least healthy? You should identify causes like the fact that they have southern culture, don't care for education, are the most religious, etc.

You could find similar causes for why the cities the OP mentioned have failed.

Just blaming the left or the right is just ignorant.

That sea of Red = economic deadweight

Without the sea of Red, you would starve.
Now who really is the economic deadweight?

The sea Of Red does not rely on the the ponds of Blue to survive.

Yes there are some, but the top 10 most violent and crime filled (Top 20 really) happen to be democratic strongholds.

The safest places are also solidly democratic, so what exactly is your point?

Then the taboo part...

The denominator... Race demographics.
But we cannot discuss that.

2 - Detroit, MI - Strong Support for Democrats
3 - Oakland, CA - Strong Support for Democrats
4 - Bridgeport, CN - Leans Democrat
5 - New Orleans, LA - Over 100 years of Democratic dominance
6 - Cleveland, OH - Strong Support for Democrats
7 - St. Louis, MO - Strong Support for Democrats
8 - Jackson, Miss - Leans Democrat
9 - Baltimore, MD - Strong Democratic Support
10 - Newark, NJ - Over 150 years of Democratic dominance

There isn't a single Republican leaning city in the Top 10. Can anyone explain why this is?

The left is always using any and every tragedy to sensationalize gun violence, but all the gun violence is happening in left dominated cities.

Maybe the left should willingly give up their 2nd amendment rights and save us all from their violent ways.
You left out Chicago with its strongest anti gun laws and has the highest murderer rate with guns.
