You know how we hear that Detroit isn’t so bad if you just get to know the city a bit? Also that our assessment of it being one giant crap hole where you might get raped, sliced and diced, shot to bits, or at least mugged (on a good day) is a total exaggeration? Well we decided to put our lives on the line by driving through Detroit, not just downtown, but real Detroit, to show just how awful a place it is.
A place that has had entirely far left, Democratic mayors since 1961. Leftism crystalized.

Ain’ no vid’yo, boz.
Look who has been running the city. Think of Detroit, Baltimore, Zimbabwe, South Africa. It is only denial that prevents the drawing of the proper inference.
Pointing out that Socialism is catastrophic to humanity is futile. To the left, Marxism is Revealed Truth. There is a solution, but it isn't Christian...
Detroit. Obviously a victim of climate change.
