What causes the Detroit syndrome?

You are moving the goalposts. We went from cities/states issues to black and white. That is a whole separate thread.

nope, poles are right where they've been during my discussions on the topic. You moved the posts when you started state shit that doesn't mean fking shit.

To claim that Dems create a plantation of hate is hyperbole but black areas do tend to be higher in crime statistically speaking in both blue and red cities/states.

they have, I've listed them. Feel free to name one city where whites are disenfranchised with poverty and no businesses?

it's dishonest. you prefer to ignore and that's not being honest.

Not sure when this happened but if it did I apologize.

Fair enough.

Your question is a bit confusing but I will answer 'any city'.

I would in return ask the in return, what city has no disenfranchised whites with poverty or business.

Even the small repub town I live in has a few trailer parks full to the brim with them.

Detroit at one time was a hustling, bustling city of prosperity. However, over the years democrats took full control of the city and then drove it into the ground, yet it remains a democrat stronghold.

Not really. Detroit was heavily dependent on a single industry and when that went into decline, the whole city goes into decline.

It’s not unlike the scores of rural communities built on a single industry where the exact same thing happened.

Yep. Happened in my small town where I grew up. Logging industry went caput and so did the whole town.

What causes a populace to continue to vote and support a party that is so destructive to their own citizenry?

In fact, the same could be said for the people of Venezuela who are eating out of garbage cans after voting for socialists. Why are they still socialists?

This is what is terrifying to me in regards to the Left. Will the entire country devolve into Detroit? Will people continue to vote for insane fiscal policy that will destroy them and their communities?

Bill Clinton once famously said, "It's the economy stupid". If the economy is doing poorly, the other party sweeps into power. That has been how things have gone historically EXCETP in places like Detroit. However, if this election that does not happen, should it be assumed that the US will soon become Detroit, or worse?

Detroit Had a Scrooge Loose

It's not the Democrats; it's the Afram savages whom Henry Ford II invited in as scabs against the strong United Auto Workers union.

Same thing but on a massive scale.

America does not know how to spin down cities when they’re no longer needed. If we can grow a city, we should have a process for shrinking it.

it's called plantation building. It's what kkk members do.

The auto industry didn't go into decline; its managerial class did. A college degree is many degrees of separation from reality. These know-it-all snobs think going down to the actual workplace is beneath their degreed dignity. They have no sense of production, never having worked at the ground level, yet they are put in charge of it.

The same for all industries around the world you mean?

In WWII, Japan Lost Its Worst People and America Lost Its Best

Not the successful ones, as in Japan.
