Take any metric you like: child mortality, educational outcomes, hunger, per capita income, media income, purchasing power parity, you name it. Compare those cities to traditionally Republican run states. Try it. There is a very very good reason why the best and brightest leave rural republican areas and move to the big cities: it is better in almost every way we measure human wellbeing.

  Ok, try Republican run cities, if you can find them. Also, compare net federal tax inputs vs outputs for states. Blue states pay for Red states. Massively. Are you serious about the Dixiecrats? Really? Go read about Lee Atwater and the Southern Strategy. Find out what “States Rights” really means.

    >Are you serious about the Dixiecrats? Really? This is what happens when the only "history" you consume is from reddit comments. I'm embarrassed for you. This is top-tier /r/confidentlyincorrect cringe. No, not the Dixiecrats, the Democratic Party. From your GP above: "... traditionally Republican run states." The South was not "traditionally Republican run", it was solidly Democratic: "The Solid South was the electoral voting bloc for the Democratic Party in the Southern United States between the end of the Reconstruction era in 1877 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964."[0] Traditionally the "Red" states you opine about were a staunch voting bloc for the Democratic Party.

      Not surprised I didn't get a response. Facts are racist, and reality is fascist.
