I really dislike large cities. They have been overrun by feral youths.

No. They have passed the point of no return.

As long as their radical, communist politicians continue allowing their RAT mobs to burn their cities down while waving their “messican” flags, there is no hope.

Of course . . . the many Mexico City States located in the U.S.S.A.

Cities made some sense when travel and transportation were challenging. If all of the “important” stuff was in one location, then everything can be funneled to that locaton and life is good. Also, with labor-intensive industry, the big population of the city provides the workforce you need to manufacture goods.

I think those days are all behind us now. What good is a city? It’s not for manufacturing. It’s not to smooth the distribution of goods (Amazon will deliver anywhere). I don’t see that cities — the concentration of large numbers of people in one place — really benefit us at this point.

Cities warehouse the poor and provide political power bases for Leftist politicians. I think we ought to actively discourage life in cities and I think the population should be spread out into the real world and people should be encouraged to have real, honest, productive lives.

“More mysterious is the paradox that, despite the fact that blame for empty stores, rising crime, and the exodus of people rests squarely on the shoulders of Democrats in most of these cities, voters rarely hand control over to Republicans.”

Not so ‘mysterious’...

They love death more than we love life.

Nope. The cities will continue to fill with gimmiedats, addicts, and criminals as decent people leave. No one has the nerve to address the actual problem. Our only hope is those decent people remember why they left and don’t vote Democrat anymore.

Some of the problem with our cities is that the Tribals control the voting apparatus and thus they ‘tilt’ things quite a bit in favor of their Tribe. Cleaning up that would help, at least somewhat.

Of course they can.

Secure their elections.

If major metros would vote for this, then why does Deep State have to steal their elections...

“Nuke it”

Unfortunately Trump won, so it’s less likely that Putin will help us out by Revitalizing our cities (think Hiroshima, then and now). So we have to move beyond that thought.

So, what is it about cities? Is there something in human nature that causes people to get more liberal – or dumber, depending on your perspective – the more densely packed together they are? Is this just a fact of life? And who cares, anyway? If Democrats want to ruin these cities and people keep voting them into office, we should just say good riddance, right?

Absolutely.

Interesting thing is, when you look throughout history, cities have NEVER been good places to live. They seem to always attract the worst of human nature, for whatever reason.

The cities can only be saved by a complete change in leadership and enforcement of laws, and financial accountability. Otherwise, nope.

At that point, fence them off and nobody gets in or out and stop the decay from spreading to the rest of the country.

The Left’s “death grip” on American cities is fully paid-for and maintained by taxpayers and massive Federal Government debt in our printed, fiat money.

Why do voters keep electing Democrats responsible for so much urban decline and decay? - Answer: Free Stuff

What will break the left’s stranglehold on our once great cities? - Answer: Economic Collapse

Is the situation simply hopeless? - Answer: Yes

Multiculturalism = Death Of A Nation State QED.

1.) They are not elected, but self-appointed.

2.) When the righteous flee, who do you expect to take their place?

Might have to do with stolen elections.
