Why are all the big BLM riot cities run by the Democrats?

Here's some interesting facts: Most of the large cities where protesting, riots and looting have taken place are under control of whom? If you guessed Democrats, you are 100% correct.

The question is why did those officials not take a stand and make every effort to stop the mayhem? Some say they wanted the protesters to be heard, regardless of the damage that would likely occur. Some say they thought the looting and rioting would be on a much smaller scale. Some even say, they didn't care as long as the unrest didn't reach their door. How'd that turn out for Mayor Jenny Durkan in Seattle or Cheryl Selby in Olympia? When the protesters started damaging THEIR property they called for police protection. The police should have told them to "F" off just like they were telling the police while vilifying them for personal gain and potential future votes.

On that subject, the City Council in Minneapolis used taxpayer money to hire private security for them and their family while badmouthing the police. Real nice and guess what...they were all Democrats too. Andrea Jenkins, Alondra Cano and Philippe Cunningham. "The City of Minneapolis is paying $4,500 per day to hire private security guards to protect members of its city council who have received threats as the council makes efforts to defund, disband, and replace the city's police force." The City did not want to admit who the three were but you can't hide the truth for long. And along those lines, why do these mayors need special law enforcement protection in the way of multiple officers to guard them and many times act at drivers for their vehicles? Likely because they are not as popular as they think.

The pure dollar costs from these riots, and they are riots, will never be fully tallied. Even some small towns have seen insured losses, not total losses, climb in to the millions. Fargo, ND has spent a million and still counting. Larger cities are now estimating losses that top billions, and the final count is still way off. And the sad thing is the rioters wanted more money spent on programs for the socioeconomically challenged but that money will instead be going to fix the damage they did. Nice work, idiots!

Here's the shameful list of the large cities with Democrat mayors where the greatest violence has occurred. This list DOES NOT include the many smaller cities and towns that are being destroyed across America.

Strangely enough, almost none of the Republican controlled cities had this type of rioting. Maybe because their government is not ultra liberal and so called "progressive"? If this is the "progressive way" to move America along, we are more than screwed. It seems everyone is "offended" by something and the leftists will fall over to change everything for any group that demands it. Changing cartoons to remove funny guns from Elmer Fudd or violence by the Road Runner is demanded, and had, by idiots but they still get to play bloody carnage games on their XBox or Play Station. Even Fortnite? How about demanding all graphic video games be rated for children and all others banned. The social police can go to everyone's door and politely request they hand over their games. If I am offended nobody cares, and frankly I don''t give a damn if anyone else is offended either.

Finally, if you don't agree, don't comment. This is not a debate page, just what I and many others believe is the cancer destroying the country. COVID-19 isn't the real enemy here, it's the snowflake mentality that will destroy us. Those who never did anything for the country but take and take and take. Who never fought a war or served in any public service or would fight for the rights of ALL people, even those they never knew. The beaches in Normandy and Guadalcanal, jungles of Vietnam, sands of the Middle East, cold ground of Korea and all over the globe have run red with the blood of patriots. Where are the legions who would now stand for the American Flag? Few it seems. Other than our military, veterans and first responders along with our medical professionals, the me-me-me society has taken over the country.
