It would seem that there is now a rock solid rule that, in order to participate in the government of a large city, a person must be a dem. To some degree, I somewhat understand that. I mean, why would anyone want to live in a large city, unless he’s a dem. That makes it difficult for a republican to be elected, especially for mayor.

And so it is, you look at election results, you will find high concentrations of dem votes in large cities. Also, near coasts and rivers. As you get closer to center of the city, you will find a higher concentration of dems.

Oddly, you can pretty much say the same about crime.

Not so oddly, another reason to avoid living in big cities, or for that matter, visiting them unless necessary.

It does seem to be one of those endless loops. It does seem a horrible thing, which no one knows how to stop. For that matter, I suspect no one really has the desire.

As I looked at a county by county map of the result of the Mississippi governor race, it pretty much stuck to the pattern. Even Desoto County is starting to lose it’s solid red look as the population increases.

Of course, the city of Jackson was solid blue as well as almost all the counties touching the Mississippi River. On the other hand, the gulf coast had a red county, the one with the sparse population.

You likely already noticed all this. It’s not so new.
