And look at Chicago. It's been run by the big Democrat Party machine for over a hundred years. It's an absolute mess.
Those kind of policies (in my opinion) are what lead to poverty. Especially for the inner city black youth.
But the people there are conditioned to vote "Democrat" because they think that getting a tiny bit of social welfare every month is going to lift them up somehow. And yet after decades and decades of living under Democrat rule...it only gets WORSE somehow.
In my opinion, it's created a state of dependence in them and damn near "enslaves" (I know that's a touchy word but I believe it to be true) them to the govt. and condemns them to poverty.

Have you seen the crime rate in Orlando? Florida has long been a Republican run state for as long as I can remember. How about Dallas? Look how bad the crime rate is in Dallas and some of Texas's other big cities which are very conservative cities. then look at Austin which is a very liberal city. It's quite literally night and day difference.
Austin was one of the cleanest cities I've visited and I felt safe traveling around there. Meanwhile Dallas and Forth worth just reminded me of the slums and was IMO just a large Orlando. It felt like I had to be careful were I went.
It's not if it's a red state or a blue state, but rather the population of the cities and how the local govt runs it. You could easily tell, that Austin puts a great deal of effort into keeping their city clean and keeping the crime rate low. Everything was well kept and the people there took pride in their city. Then look at Dallas and it was run down and shitty. That translates to the local govt not doing their job which will lead to higher crime rates.
