Of course you can.. republican ideas work.. because they are traditional American ideas.. these inner cities are run by democrats.. but most of these inner cites have City council representatives .. they help break The governance down, and they are still out of control.
Unfortunately you apparently have a dog in this fight as you definitely sound like a Republican. As someone who despises both parties, I think I’ve got a clearer vision on this matter.
Republicans preach family values, which work great in smaller communities. They’re far more difficult to incorporate into larger Metropolitan areas because the nuclear family doesn’t exist as much in those places. I’m not saying the Democrat way of doing things works either. It doesn’t.
The entire Urban experience in this country needs to be burned to the ground and rebuilt from the foundations up. I don’t believe either party is fit to do so. The Democrats have the wrong ideas and the Republicans are either too interested in politics or unable/unwilling to actually walk the talk.
That’s why the answer is Ultra-Conservative Authoritarianism.
