That is the great thing about the US. People decide the elections and have to live with the people they elected.
It may take a while, but if there are bad consequences, they will eventually be seeable the voters will vote in a different style person.
US politics is a pendulum and pretty much always settles back to the middle. The extremes never seem to work. It is obvious to me, not sure why it is not to others (like the voters of Chicago. LOL)

The last Republican mayor of Detroit was elected in the 1950's. I'd say Detroit went down a bit since then...

Yeah, but look at Chicago. No question that there was all kinds of corruption, nepotism etc during the Daley (both of them) years. But Daley Jr did a great job of rehabbing the city. The Loop became vibrant, the city, at least the business and shopping areas, was clean. Rahm Emmanuel (remember him?) almost seemed like a placeholder, but the city didn't go into the crapper. That started under Lightfoot, and it'll continue, I fear, under Johnson.
The last Republican mayor of Chicago was "Big Bill" Thompson in 1931.
Wanna talk about corruption??.
