Two Illinois cities, Rockford and Decatur, are among the fastest-shrinking cities in the country, according to U.S. Census Bureau population estimates, part of an ongoing trend of Midwestern cities losing residents while cities across the Southwest and West continue to grow.

"Midwestern cities
[Under Socialist Democrat Rule] continue to lose population. Two of the fastest-shrinking are in Illinois."
Fixed! I fled Dane County, WI and 'The People's Republik of Madistan' five years ago. Should've left Dane County MUCH sooner!

Headline should be “Long term controlled democrat cities losing population...”

FROM THE ARTICLE:
Six of the countrys fastest-growing large cities since 2010 are in Texas, according to the census, and every one of the Top 15 are in the South or West regions. Expanding beyond city limits, three of the Top 10 metro areas with the largest gains in population nationally are in Texas: Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and Austin.
MY COMMENT: Austin? Houston?
Aren’t these also liberal controlled cities?

FROM THE ARTICLE:
Fort Worth and Charlotte, North Carolina, moved into the Top 15 most populous U.S. cities list, bumping Indianapolis and San Francisco. And Phoenix is now the fifth-largest city in the country, overtaking Philadelphia.

Chinese refugees from Hong Kong could save Chicago. That would be Mayor Daley’s legacy for subverting the 1960 election.

Probably most are taking with them their liberal values that will change the face of more conservative areas.

Most people from HK would vote democratic. They want the HK version of the NHS.

Decatur, in central Illinois about 40 miles east of Springfield, has lost 7.1% of its population since the 2010 census, I suspect most of that is related to reductions of workforce and plant closings by CAT....

Austin, TX is much like Madistan, WI. College town. Liberal. I could see where living there would be attractive to the younger crowd fleeing Chicago and Rockford. They wouldn’t have to change their politics one bit. :)
They can enjoy it until they eventually burn it down, LOL!

In St Louis you can drive for miles along the interstate and see boarded up brick houses and churches that reflect the population loss.

Yeah, we won that war and helped to make an ally of Japan. The other war we won that ended in 1865 was where the mistake was made. We didn’t outlaw the democrat party and hang their leadership North and South.
