Not quite. It's the beliefs and agenda of the nation's Democrat party being inflicted on city after city, and producing the same results almost every time.

And that party's consistent, repeated refusal to connect the dots and see that is is their own mistaken beliefs that are creating the broken cities in the first place. Coupled with their blinders-on belief that if they just apply MORE of their own beliefs, that will finally make it all better.

A common definition of insanity, is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.

Look in the dictionary under "insanity", and you'll find a description of the Democrat agenda.

Democrats are attracted to urban areas.

Democrats in power like the masses of easily influenced people to control and keep them in power.

Democrat citizens like being in close quarters where you don't have to have a car and you're among many line minded people.

Democrat citizens in the bottom of the economic ladder like the proximity to the Social Services they need to live on.


Republicans generally aren't attracted to any of that.

Republicans like having their own space in the suburbs or the country where individualism and self sufficiency are more engrained into the way of life.

Ain't broke to Democrats. The conditions are exactly what they like to keep their voter base.

Cities produce most of the country’s gdp for rural areas and red states to mooch off.

All affluent smaller cities that are out in the suburbs where the quality of life is so much better than in the inner cities that were destroyed by Dems.

The Republicans fled the Dem controlled cities for the suburbs, and started new smaller cities, many of which are growing rapidly, and could become the top 100 major cities of America's future.
Thank you, as you stated what I would of have that these are all suburbs most are middle to upper middle class, predominantly white and centered on a real city for employment with the exception of the Florida Collection which is a mix of retirement and younger communities.

But your comparing Arnold Missouri with a population of 20k to the nearest real city St Louis with 300k and Dublin Ohio 40k with Columbus 900K that's not a comparison. Just because a community has incorporated as a city for administration doesn't make them comparable for comparison.

Boca was a good one, 100k population and the Mayor is none-Partisian not Republican, Cummings Georgia 5k give me a break. I remember when Marietta wouldn't allow the Marta to extend into the city, don't want those city people going out that way....

You have presented a very nice list of suburbs many of which is best if your white because they have a long history of discouraging/criminalizing none-whites from living there. For a large part they are the poster children of White Flight where the white middle class fled and left the poor to the cities. As I suspected none of you can present a real city that is Republican lead and doing well because any larger city has to deal with the everyone not just those who have enough money to get past the entry gate.

Plenty of problems in rural areas, poverty, lack of health care, no jobs, lack of education and many dependent on government subsidies.

Plenty of rural/suburban areas were migrating to the cities for jobs.

1. Trumps fault

2. Covid (also Trumps fault)

3. Election year (might be able to blame Trump)

It all comes back to Politics & Trumps fault

There's no issue too large or small that can't be blamed on Trump.

Wait til the great savior Biden wins. All will be well with the World. And if he loses, Trumps Fault!

The law of unintended consequences and all that... the tuff part of that is they appear "un-woke" when they complain about being under attack.

Good luck growing enough crops and raising enough animals to feed the country in the cities, since you’re too good for rural areas.
