While most folks in the heartland watch out for the odd spider crawling in when the temperatures drop, there’s a much bigger menace plaguing America’s “great” cities. Exterminators just released a list naming the top ten rat-infested cities in the country. Anyone surprised by which towns made the cut hasn’t been paying attention. Forget spiders—these are full-scale infestations straight out of a nightmare, and it’s not happening in small-town USA. It’s America’s biggest, bluest cities that can’t seem to keep the rodents at bay. Shocking? Hardly.
The real kicker here is what all these cities have in common. They’re almost all run by Democrats, some for decades—if not generations. So, while the D.C. elite pat themselves on the back and demand more taxpayer money for “progress,” their cities literally rot from within. Liberal policies pile up trash, drive out businesses, and throw common sense down the drain. It’s no wonder the rats have moved in. They go where the garbage is endless, and let’s be honest, in these cities, the politicians seem to like it that way. Maybe the rodents are just following the odor of incompetence.
Look around at places like Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, and other liberal strongholds—the filth and chaos aren’t a coincidence. They’re what you get when left-wing politicians care more about virtue signaling and globalist pet projects than about the people living in their cities. Taxpayers fork over more money every year, but basic city services—like keeping rats out—are nowhere to be found. Instead, we get lectures about “equity” and “climate change” while folks step over garbage and dodge rats scurrying through their neighborhoods.
The liberal answer? Blame corporations or invent new government agencies to “study” the problem. Never mind actually taking out the trash, enforcing basic laws, or spending a dime to keep cities clean and safe. For them, rats are probably just another chance to whine about “systemic inequality.” Funny how conservatives in the Midwest aren’t dealing with this mess. Maybe it’s a coincidence. Or maybe it’s the result of actually caring about order, responsibility, and public health.
So as the Democrat-run cities compete for the not-so-coveted Rat Capital trophy, the rest of America should ask: how much longer will we let these failed policies eat away at our once-great cities? Or are the rats the only loyal residents the left has left?
