Strong Democrat cities are significantly more dangerous than other areas throughout the country. Horrible progressive policies have led to higher crime rates in these areas. The top liberal cities in the country have some of the highest crime rates in the nation.

MYTH: Conservative cities are worse than liberal cities.

REALITY: This is false. Liberal cities are known to be high-crime areas.

Often strong liberal cities lead the nation in the most heinous crimes— murder, rape, assault, and mass shootings.

Here are the 30 most liberal cities—
