Why do MAGA assume all blue cities are violent crime ridden hell scapes?

Comparing small rural towns to urban cities is not a fair comparison.

"per capita" kinda levels the playing field for metrics, no?

You don't have to be aware of hyper-local distinctions when you're in some MAGA town, so that's why they judge the whole city by its worst parts.

No, you have to be aware of KKKletus and his tribe looking out for strangers to "take care of"

I’m more comfortable walking in midtown Manhattan than I am some desolate country road where I’m in big trouble if a pick up truck stops next to me and tells me to get in.

Also - Based on the latest data, Tennessee has a significantly higher rate of gun deaths per capita than New York. For 2023, the total age-adjusted gun death rate in Tennessee was 22.0 per 100,000 residents, while New York's was 4.7 per 100,000. That’s a huge difference.

Compare two cities - As of 2024, the gun death rate in Jackson, Mississippi, was drastically higher than in Boston, Massachusetts. Data shows that Jackson had the highest per-capita homicide rate in the U.S. in 2024, while Boston's homicide rate was at a near-historic low.

Compare a red state and a blue state on the safety of women regarding the most serious assault - Massachusetts rape rate: For 2023, the rape rate was 27.3 per 100,000 people. This rate of violence against women in Massachusetts is lower than the U.S. national average.

Texas rape rate: For 2023, the rate was 49.5 per 100,000 people, placing Texas among the highest rates of violence against women in the country.


I am so sick of the stupidest people in our country buying this bull that Trump sells. Blue states are safer including their cities. How much taxpayer money was spent on the dog and pony show that Trump put on in Portland, DC, Chicago?

And which party controls Jackson, Mississippi?

It brings me no pleasure to point out that all the crime stuff is correlated to the size of the African-American population, not to the party in charge. Furthermore, pro-crime democrat district attorneys and judges obstruct the proper administration of justice in these high crime areas.

oKKK. So you are proposing paying them reparations for the 2 centuries of abuse, theft, and murder, right?

That's been going on for decades dude. It's called federal govt jobs for African Americans, welfare benefits, SNAP benefits, Medicaid, etc.

Are you suggesting only white people should work for the federal government?

Where did you learn your reading comprehension skills? Where did I say only white people should work for the federal govt? I said black people have been getting reparations for decades already. And that's fine by me.

I wonder what the NG thought of DC. I saw them standing on a corner yesterday and they looked like they were enjoying the sunset over the river.

Your head is filled with brainrot propaganda fantasies churned out by Hollywood. Rural Karens may hector outsiders from time to time but they don't rob/murder/rape like what happens in the inner cities.

People that spend time in cities develop street smarts and are unlikely to “stumble into something.”

These rural counties will have 0 or one murder per year.
Per capita makes them look like murder capitals.

Go into CVS and Walgreens, and it tells you all you need to know about the crime there.

I guess you missed the lynchings that happened after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Meanwhile the crime rate in some of these cities is the lowest in years.

Is it just that they’re watching news max or Fox all day long?

They are not reporting or prosecuting lots of crimes in those cities, dumbass.

I work in Detroit and live in a nearby suburb.

Detroit is doing great.

This has been around forever.

And conversely, urbanites have long mocked, disdained and in some cases feared rural areas.

So why pretend this is some new phenomenon?

People always say this, care to unpack why?
