The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever

Is there 1 capitol* city in any of the 50 states, that votes more right than left? Even in states like Mississippi or Alabama, etc., that are clearly right leaning overall? If not, which we all don't even need to actually lookup, why is that?

There is an easy answer to this. It is cities in general not just capitol cities. It involves land claims from centuries ago. It involves segregation. It is why all the rural areas vote mostly right.

This is a topic that actually interests me, I need to look on Amazon to see if there are at least somewhat recent books on this subject. Not saying above isn't at least part of it, but I feel like there has to be way more to it than that.

For the most part it is just that simple. Slaves obviously couldn’t buy land. Black people in general for years after slavery still couldn’t. There was safety in numbers, and they either migrated to or were segregated to their “pods” while white people bought or stole all the land. Unlike the weather it really never changed. Gave rise to every ghetto in the country and the hard right now wonders about crime in the inner cities. Lol. Didn’t pan out they way they hoped it would but what do you expect when you treat people like animals?
