And, in case you haven't figured it out, a large portion of blue state tax dollars go to supporting people who produce nothing and pay no taxes.

Thought of the day; If San Francisco is Sodom and New York City is Gomorrah does that make Chicago Babylon?
Do rurals think they are the only ones that can grow food? Do they not get that the blue cities can grow food and bring it in from Central America? Why are we giving farmers $100 billion a year if we are still buying their food from the grocery store and they are making more money from flood insurance claims? Farmers often get paid to NOT grow food. It's stupid. Cut off means cut off. Turn off the money spigot. Stop giving rural towns and counties money "for their infrastructure" and tell them if they really oppose socialism, they should apply it to themselves.

The party that have ruled the city for nearly 5 decades who caused the situation in Minneapolis will likely do even better after this next election ensuring nothing will ever change.

The former prosecutor who let the murderer cop go previously will be voted for by the same people out protesting if she's picked as VP.

Their bread and butter is banking on the stupidity of poor people, and no one does it better.

Oh? Here's a simple quiz for you: WHAT current POTUS blames virtually everything on his predecessor and WHAT party does he represent? Extra credit if you answer correctly without a Google search.

Riots have been going on in America for ages. It's a sign of so many other problems. I don't excuse the rioting or the violence. I'm trying to keep the peace. I will say this. When you have a riot, it isn't just that one issue.

As for other western countries, the problems we have here, they exist in other western countries. They just don't exist to the same degree that they exist here.
I have never said that other countries don't have problems, nor would I. But our problems in America are on a whole other level. And they never go away. They never end.

Probably because white republicans seem to prefer the suburbs where it is the least diverse.

I don't know about you, but I grew up in large, very liberal cities that are clean, safe, with low crime rates; thriving economies and downtowns; vibrant social environments; good public transportation; quality public education for everyone, K-12; excellent higher education; a solid, healthy, majority middle class that includes immigrants of every race and nationality; and good job prospects.

Not a Sodom, Gomorrah, or Babylon among them.

Where do you live?

Trump IS a Democrat. A crook Democrat, but a Democrat nonetheless. He's a RINO. He's an unapologetic member of the NYC coastal liberal elite. Remember that.

So you associate Republicans with White Supremacy, White Nationalism, and Nazism? What about black and Latino Republicans?

It has nothing to do with lack of diversity as many suburbs are now very diverse. It has to do with the environment, open space, SCHOOLS, CRIME, access to outdoor activities, and other factors. You are so solely focused on Race and Diversity that it has destroyed your perspective.
