When the terrorists become bored and cease terrorizing, when the flames are extinguished, when those who died in the riots are buried and cremated, when the shards of glass from storefronts are disposed of, and when livelihoods are permanently lost, Democrats will still run the vast majority of the deadliest and most dangerous cities in the U.S.
Death and destruction always follow Democrat policies and culture. Stagnant local economies. Unsafe streets for children. Gun crime. Failing schools. Breathtaking corruption. Problems with the police. Property crime. Poverty. Poor public health. Single- or no-parent homes. All are found in abundance in Democrat-run cities, and found overwhelmingly in majority-black neighborhoods.
So who are the true “racists”? By every objective measure and metric, Democrat-run cities are the unequivocal worst places in America to live.
Here’s a rundown of how long Democrats have monopolized many of our culturally historic cities. Numbers cited are consecutive days and are slightly rounded up or down.
San Francisco: only Democrat mayors and super-majority Democrat; Boards of Supervisors, 14,000; all 11 current supervisors are Democrats;
Baltimore: only Democrat mayors and only Democrat city councils, 19,000;
Oakland: only Democrat mayors and majority Democrat city councils, 15,000; all eight current councilmen are Democrats;
St. Louis: only Democrat mayors and super-majority Democrat Boards of Aldermen, 24,500; all current aldermen are Democrats;
Milwaukee: only Democrat mayors and majority Democrat city councils, 22,000; in the 20th century, three socialist mayors were elected before the 22,000 consecutive days of only Democrat mayors; the city currently has 15 councilmen — all but one are verified Democrats or were endorsed by the Milwaukee County Democratic Party;
Philadelphia: only Democrat mayors and super-majority Democrat city councils, 25,000; if Philadelphia didn’t have the Home Rule Charter (requiring a few city council seats to be the “minority party”), which was approved by voters in 1951, it’s likely that the city would have been solely Democrat for even longer than Baltimore;
Detroit: only Democrat mayors and super-majority Democrat city councils,
21,000; all nine current councilmen are Democrats;
Minneapolis, where all the nationwide George Floyd–related
rioting and looting terrorism originated from: only Democrat mayors, 15,000; unknown on city council; current council has 13 members — 12 are Democrats, and the other is Green Party;
