    The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism found that hate crimes are exploding in Democrat-run cities, reports the far-left Axios. Naturally, Axios doesn’t inform its readers that every single one of these hate crime hotbeds is run exclusively by Democrats. In most cases, Democrats have ruled these hate-filled cities without any Republican opposition for decades. In Democrat-run Chicago, hate crimes are up—this is not a typo—84.6 percent over last year. Chicago has been run by Democrats since 1931.
