Well... maybe they’re all really low in crime? Maybe?

There can’t be a correlation between liberal social policies and human misery, because they’re all based on good intentions. Or making oneself feel virtuous, which is the same thing.

Is this how we got the definition of insanity?

I have long observed that Democratic towns and union towns invariably have high crime rates, high rates of poverty, slums and dirty streets and run down buildings, lots of payday loan places, pawn shops and bailsbondsmen, lots of bars on their windows, strict gun laws and lots of class warfare.

It all goes together.

Republican towns tend to be quite the opposite, clean and well kept, much more integrated with few class distinctions, few businesses that prey on low income people and crime free by comparison. Republican towns tend to have many participants in conceal carry and have low crime rates. In Republican towns, the crimes like burglary, robbery, shoplifting and assault tend to be committed by people traveling thru or coming in from Democratic communities.

The citizens of Washington DC got the right to elect their own mayor in the mid-70s. They proceeded to elect no one but RATS.

After 20 years of RAT rule, Congress had to establish a financial control board to deal with the mess.

The city is back in control, and the people continue to elect RATS. There has still not been a single GOP mayor.

This has been posted several times, and the data on the Mayors is incorrect in some places.

What about - just for the sake of argument and perhaps some contrast - the 10 richest cities? No doubt these are strictly Republican and have been so for decades? Any correlation there or are we dealing with some variant of the post hoc, ergo propter hoc fallacy here?
