And they spread their diseased voting habits to cities like mine...Richmond, VA.

[Clintonfatigued]

This is quite the demographic shift.

[rockinqsranch]

Interesting. I always thought of Socialism as like a disease.

[radioone]

Dems=Plague

[rockinqsranch]

Perhaps we could make it a disease as the Left has made alcoholism a disease, and get them treated. That I’d be happy to pay for. The alternative is grim.

Snowmobiling in Calumet where they use to have 60,000 during it’s heyday and now has 1200

[Iron Munro]

They move to towns and cities not yet bankrupt and start demanding all the handouts and freebies they had “back home”.

It’s what the founders always suspected when creating the federalist system....the people will vote with their feet.

This is the first time that so many cities have lost half of their populations in such a short amount of time since the Plague struck Europe in 1348

Wow, that's stunning. Unfortunately, also like the Plague, these liberal refugees take their disease with them wherever they go, continuing to spread their infection.

[fhayek]

It is not just a decline in population, it is more like a leaching out of the more productive elements who used to live in the cities. This leaves a nonproductive populace that is largely dependent on taxpayer subsidies to survive. Like everything else that is liberal, it is unsustainable in the long run.

[Islander7]

...and the GOP is foolish not to use these hard facts in every campaign in the nation. The evidence is clear, dem governance kills jobs, disrupts civil societies, and sows misery.

[Redleg Duke]

Actually, a significant part of that loss will be the results of government-furnished abortions.

[TexasFreeper2009]

a plague did strike those cites, the liberal plague

[KarlInOhio]

Once again a plague spread by 'rats and the parasites associated with them.

[headsonpikes]

The cult of the state eventually demands actual human sacrifice, not mere depopulation, but hey, it’s a start!

[ClearCase_guy]

A lot of Blue States are Blue only because they contain one or two very large, very Democrat cities.

But, oddly enough, those very large cities aren't so large anymore. And yet the vote tallies from those cities remain large enough to shift the entire state into the Blue Zone.

Weird, innit?

[Ciexyz]

Very interesting read, they talk about the Great Lakes region but it could apply to Pittsburgh, too (my area).

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

“...since the Plague struck Europe in 1348”

That was due to global warming.

[FrankR]

This is fine, however, knowing liberals (and unions) they are going to eventually try to infiltrate the cities where the populations moved to,and eventually there will be no where left to migrate to...

At that point, people who want no part of socialism/communism/obamism will have to TAKE A STAND AND FIGHT.

[AmusedBystander]

And the worst part is that this happens in patches all over the city, so that you can’t simply raze the affected areas and start farming there. City services are still spread over a large geographic areas which keeps costs much higher than needed. What a waste.
