In this X post by @GovtsTheProblem, a small-government advocate, Colorado Democrats are lambasted for turning Denver into one of America's least safe cities per WalletHub's latest Safest Cities in America rankings. Denver lands at a dismal 162nd out of 182 cities with a total score of 42.86, ranking worse than Albuquerque (154th), St. Louis (157th), and Chicago (161st) in overall safety, which factors in home/community safety, natural disasters, and financial security. The attached screenshot shows the tail end of the list, emphasizing Denver's poor 172nd place in home and community safety. Replies echo the sentiment, blaming leftist policies for rising crime, with one user noting Colorado's high violent crime rate (7th worst nationally per U.S. News), and others mocking Governor Polis while highlighting dangers like lenient laws on murderers. The post, dated January 3, 2026, has garnered over 330 likes and sparks discussion on #copolitics, portraying Democratic governance as a recipe for urban decay.
Colorado's liberal overlords have wrecked Denver, plummeting it to near rock-bottom in national safety rankings—worse than notorious hotspots like Chicago and St. Louis! Thanks to Democrat soft-on-crime nonsense, open borders, and endless virtue-signaling, our once-vibrant Mile High City is now a magnet for thugs, with sky-high violent crime rates that make families flee. WalletHub's data doesn't lie: Denver's abysmal scores scream failed policies from Polis and his crew, prioritizing criminals over citizens while the rest of us pay the price. Time to boot these big-government hacks, slash regulations, arm law-abiding folks, and restore real law and order—Trump-style toughness is what Colorado needs to make our streets safe again!
