LIBERAL UTOPIA (but you're racist if you say anything)

President Trump has recently been excoriated in the mainstream media for telling representative Elijah Cummings that, instead of grandstanding and screaming at the people of Border Control, he should be in his own district trying to clean it up.  Trump called it "rat and rodent infested," and said that nobody wants to live there.  For this statement, presumably because Cummings is a black man, President Trump has once again been painted by the left as a racist.  Before I continue, I'd like to ask a quick question.  Russell Wilson, the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks, is a black man.  If he were to have a bad game and I said to someone, "Man, Wilson played terribly yesterday," am I a racist for saying so?  It seems the new standard for being called a racist by Democrats is speaking truth.  But, I digress.
It seems that President Trump may have watched a segment on Fox and Friends alerting people to the horrid conditions in Cummings' district.  That "racist" video was produced after Cummings' tirade at hearings about border control, and was produced by a racist black woman.  (Wait a minute...the racist was a black woman???).  At any rate, her video shows terrible conditions in Baltimore, way worse conditions than illegal immigrants are experiencing at the border.  Here's a fun fact:  there are over 17,000 abandoned buildings in the city!  This got me to wondering about the conditions in other Democrat controlled cities, and after doing about five minutes of research, I came away appalled at all the liberal utopias which are out there.
It's not just trash residents in these cesspools have to deal with.  In all these liberal utopias, there are boarded up buildings used as crack houses, severe crime, drug addicts leaving needles everywhere, homeless tent cities, and in Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco, human excrement all over the streets and sidewalks.  I say to Elijah Cummings, Nancy Pelosi, and other Democrats what he, Cummings, screamed at the border patrol people:  "These are people, man!  COME ON!!"  While Cummings may not want to take responsibility for the conditions in his district, he's been serving it in one form or another for 33 years, and he's represented the district in Congress for 23 years--since 1996.  I'd say almost a quarter century in charge gives one ownership of the problem.

The murder rates in all these Democrat cities are inexcusable, and the list of cities controlled by Democrats includes such places as Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, DC, Baltimore, and San Francisco, but that is a small minority of the destroyed cities which Democrats have run into the ground.  Federal money has poured into these cities for decades, but the problem has only gotten worse.  As President Trump asked, where did the money go?  These cities also have some of the toughest gun laws in the nation, yet gun violence and murder is rampant.  Just a couple of examples:  As of June 24th, 150 people have been murdered year to date in Baltimore.  There have been 113 murders year to date in St. Louis, and, from a CBS article, "According to recent crime statistics released to CBS Chicago, 1,229 people have been shot in Chicago."  (236 have died year to date).  Since the cities all have stringent gun control laws, the vast majority of these murders are being perpetrated by people with illegal weapons.  Yet Democrats won't attempt to disarm the drug dealers and murderers.  They constantly call for new gun control laws to try and disarm law abiding gun owners.  
The numbers are similar for all the liberal "utopias" out there, but in some places there are other major problems.  Take, for instance, Speaker Pelosi's San Francisco district, which she has represented for 32 years.  I lived in California decades ago, when Ronald Reagan was governor.  It has changed since Democrats took control.  Now California is #1 in the country in homelessness, as well as having the distinction of being #1 in poverty rates.  This while a liberal elite lives in multi-million dollar mansions on hills overlooking the cities which look so beautiful from afar but which are actually vermin ridden, drug infested hellholes usually seen only in third world countries.  Ms. Pelosi's San Francisco is riddled with homeless people in tent cities, used needles laying everywhere, trash, blight, and worst of all perhaps, human excrement polluting the streets and sidewalks.  (They actually have employed a "poop patrol" that has to go clean it all up every day).

We have another election coming up in a little over a year.  Remember before you pull the lever that, whether the Democrat candidate is for Socialism, higher taxes, aborting babies up until the day of birth, or some other idea which has been propagated by Democrats, all of them want to do for America what they've done for areas they control.
