We kept Emperor Hirohito, though in Japan. Did hang Tojo, though.
NAFTA and China’s entry into the WTO (supported by Sleepy Joe) devastated much of the midwest
And they have really messed up Leander and New Braunfels, Georgetown has always been what it is.
The correct comparison is not “run by libs” or “democrats”, the correct metric is “increase in minority population”.
Whites everywhere are moving away from blacks and Hispanics. And when the blacks and Hispanics follow them, they move again.
In 2000, Rockford was 17.29% black and 10% Hispanic (27.29%). In 2020, Rockford is 21.2% black and 18.4% Hispanic (39.6%).
Ovder the same time, the population of Burlington VT has increased by >10% - and so has the population of Portland OR - and there are no more wretched hives of leftist scum and villany that those two Whitopias.
I’m sorry but would ever want to live in the Midwest?
Now if you’re going to live in the Midwest to leave somewhere in southern Midwest where the weather is not horrific
I’m talking at least six months of winter
Real winter where it’s like -20 every day and windy
And then there’s Columbus. Up almost 14% between 2010 and 2019 (est.). OSU, position as a N-S / E-W transportation hub, Corporate HQ’s moving in, and the growth of State government have made it the closest thing to a boom town in our region.
Sorry, but the southern Midwest is as hot as Texas in the Summer and the plains make it alternating blizzard and tornado country year round. The Great Lakes tend to moderate the surrounding climate in the north, as do the woodlands and hills to the east. The coldest recorded temperature in Ohio was minus 39. It’s minus 47 in Nebraska, minus 40 in Iowa, and the same in Missouri. But we seldom see temperatures below zero. Add in four distinct seasons, cost of living, quality of education outside the city districts, comparatively friendly people, and it’s actually a very nice region to live in.
Nobody wants to live in looterhoods
In the era of mass immigration it takes a real (negative) talent to lose that much population.
If it weren't for Jack Hanna, I wouldn't know that Columbus has a zoo.
Detroit now has less than half the population of San Diego, despite having beaten San Diego in the 1984 World Series.
