Go walk in one of those Fed buildings in Detroit. You will understand why some of those cities were turned into socialist cesspools, so as to hire local civil servants of the Fed gov and so Fed gov would infestate such cities too, turning them into little DC sattelite hell holes. They are filled with ghetto welfare recipient looking workers.
Detroit might be a violent cesspool - but the Department of Homeland Security doesn’t target real violence - they target middle class grandparents picketing the IRS. It’s a strange world.
