'The Democratic monopoly on major American cities leads them to take city residents for granted, and the disastrous results are both predictable and uniform across the country,' ZacharyFaria writes.
Lightfoot’s failures on crime are rivaled by Cantrell’s. New Orleans saw 277 homicides in 2022, the most in a single year since 1996. In January, homicides were already up 14% compared to January 2022. There have already been 108 non-fatal shooting victims through the first two months of the year, and the 40 homicides through Feb. 27 match the same pace as last year’s record numbers.Cantrell is also mired in scandals. It is alleged that she had an affair with a member of her security detail.
In fact, a recall campaign has been launched against her, with organizers claiming they have already hit the threshold of nearly 50,000 signatures. So her reign as America’s worst mayor may come to an end before it even begins. The common thread here, of course, is decades of Democratic decay. Chicago’s last Republican mayor left office in 1931. New Orleans hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1872. The Democratic monopoly on major American cities leads them to take city residents for granted, and the disastrous results are both predictable and uniform across the country.
In Chicago, they are doing just that. One of the two candidates in the runoff to replace Lightfoot supports defunding the police, meaning Chicago could be back at the top of the worst mayor list very soon. In New Orleans, Cantrell would also be replaced by another Democrat who may or may not care about crime and may or may not be corrupt. In cities such as New Orleans and Chicago, voters get a Democrat every time they spin the wheel, and then they act surprised when nothing ever changes.
