“And the cities we bombed out of existence such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Berlin etc look modern, beautiful, vibrant and shining! Such dichotomy!!
But then all those American cities in decline are run by democrats. Will people ever wake up and smell the coffee?”
There is a “scent of coffee” in your statement that you yourself may not be smellin’.
Look at the faces of the people who lived in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Berlin, then vs. now. The faces pretty much look the same (except, of course, for the influx of Muslims into Germany).
Next, look at the faces of the people who inhabited major American cities in 1940, vis-a-vis the faces of those who live in them today.
What has changed?
Hint: it wasn’t the politics, for the most part...

I know what you are hinting at is that the reason our large cities are decaying is due to large black populations.]
Well, I have visited every port in the Caribbean during my 2 dozen or so cruises and most are populated by majority black people. Nowhere did I see anything resembling Detroit. I saw black people dressed in clean clothes, black kids walking to schools in clean uniforms, stores manned by well mannered and hard working black clerks, restaurants run by blacks, and generally houses that looked well cared for.
So my guess is the reason our cities are decaying is we have created a large dependent class and we pay them enough welfare to destroy any incentive to get your azz out to a job or acquire some skills.
