Want to see the result of unfettered Democrat hegemonic domination? Welcome to Detroit, the most liberal city in the US by voting record:
2008 General Election results-DEM: 96.93% GOP: 2.65%
2006 General Election results-DEM: 95.05% GOP: 4.33%

She declined to identify the areas, but said the final plan could include a greater number.

Detroit is a city that’s been stimulated, Obama administration style, almost literally to death over the past two generations, as Steven Crowder pointed right around this time last year in a video that he produced for PJTV:
