Would an America run like Chicago or Detroit be good for the country's future?

In other words, what kind of nation would we have without a Republican party?

Why did you leave out California ? They are another bastion of leftist policies.

Having lived in quite a few major cities in the West, Northeast, and South... what "political ideals" exist in Chicago that don't exist in any other major American city?

Your question is wasted, it's the equivalent of asking a mushroom to intellectualize the effect of race, surburban sprawl, and industilization on the destruction of the nation's urban areas.

An interactive map put out by Forbes that shows migration patterns throughout the country. Those in Chicago and Detroit are getting out of Dodge as fast as they can. I can't understand why. Everyone wants to live in a third world country within the US..........DON'T they?

Please describe (in detail) this so-called "effect" that you speak of.

Detroit's problems started before you (or I) were born and it had little to do with political parties, and a lot to do with greed and fear.
