The Two-Decade Red State Murder Problem

“Republicans have made crime a major selling point over the past several elections. In 2020 and 2022, they ran ads accusing Democratic candidates of wanting to “defund the police”– a position held by only a handful of fringe Democratic officeholders. Republican-aligned Fox News aired, on average, 141 segments on crime across weekdays in the two months leading up to the midterms. In the week after the midterm, their coverage of violent crime dropped by 50%.”

“The murder rate in Trump-voting states has exceeded Biden-voting states every year this century”

“If Biden states had the same murder rate as Trump states, they would have seen 5,000 more murders in 2020 alone. Between 2000 and 2020, they would have suffered an additional 45,400 murders”

“The top 10 murder rate states are increasingly dominated by Trump-voting states”

“Even when large cities are removed from red states, murder rates are still higher”

“On a typical day, about 65 Americans are murdered. If we watch the cable networks, we’re likely to hear about one of them. The one that is chosen often fits a narrative that is as familiar as it is shallow. It may cohere with a political point a network wants to make – chaos in Democratic cities, an illegal immigrant committing a brazen and lethal act. Usually, it’s a murder in New or Los Angeles, two cities that actually have murder rates far lower than many states”

Poor anchovies, you are correct, there is no crime in any large democrat run city. Media is lying to all of us.

Not lying, just reporting that which fits their narrative, especially your favorites

“Listen to the southern right talk about violence in America and you’d think New York City was as dangerous as Bakhmut on Ukraine’s eastern front”

“In October, Florida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis proclaimed crime in New York City was “out of control” and blamed it on George Soros. Former president Donald Trump, offered his native city up as a Democrat-run dystopia, war zones, literal war zones. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott swatted back suggestions that the state could save lives by implementing tougher gun laws by proclaiming “Chicago and L.A. and New York disprove that thesis.”

“In reality, the region the Big Apple comprises most of is far and away the safest part of the U.S. mainland when it comes to gun violence, while the regions Florida and Texas belong to have per capita firearm death rates three to four times higher than New York’s. On a regional basis it’s the southern swath of the country — in cities and rural areas alike — where the rate of deadly gun violence is most acute, regions where Republicans have dominated state governments for decades.”

Silly Republicans.
One thing America doesn't have is a crime problem.
We've got MORE than enough of it for everybody.

"Accusing" Democrats of wanting to defund the police? Really?

Once again for those seemingly having problems processing, “a position held only by a fringe Democratic officeholders[/I]

It's funny how years later those people were "fringe" Democratic office holders. So then Omar, Tlaib and AOC are fringe Democratic officer holders? Hmmmmm.

Donnie and his racists have always claimed that every city that is run by a Black Mayor, are SHITHOLE CITIES!

Poor Anchovies, You obviously misread my response to your statement.

I agree with you, there is no crime in any large democrat run city. Media is lying to all of us.

Are they not? Certainly not mainstream nor represent the overwhelming majority of Democrats, although I would add AOC does posses noteworthy attributes
 
Poor Anchovies, You obviously misread my response to your statement.

And as I showed you, even providing examples, not all media, just yours who propagandize urban crime every election year

Poor anchovies, how many times do I have to say I agree with you that crime only exists in red states with Rebublican's in charge or cities.

Any red states and cities do not have any issues with crime as it does not exist.
