[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, progressives are willing to tolerate a higher amount of crime than conservatives, at least in regard to quality of life crimes, to further an agenda.[/quote]

I'd love to know what this "agenda" you're referring to is. I'm a liberal, and I don't know what you're talking about. Is it online?  Can I read it somewhere?

But back to your point. Countless psychology and political science studies (just look up the topic) have shown that people who identify as conservatives are more likely to be concerned about law and order issues and more triggered by the sort of headline-grabbing incidents like looting, smash-and-grabs, and the most egregious examples of urban crime. Liberals don't like these things either and are also shocked by them, but they are less triggered by them at an instinctive, base level and more likely to ascribe them to structural factors rather than moral failure. We are just different. [/quote]

I live in Fairfax County where we had a well funded progressive DA come in and refuse to prosecute crimes. Crime shot up.[/quote]
