I don’t understand the cognitive dissonance of DC residents.  They almost universally vote for progressive candidates, but are shocked at the lawlessness.  [/quote]

Because we know voting for republicans doesn’t help. There was this thing called “trying to overthrow the government” on a January 6 that a very famous Republican man tried to make happen. A Democratic lady saved our a$$es.

I will laugh at you every time you say Republicans are the one who can solve crime. No, they make it worse. [/quote]
DP, but you are comparing apples to oranges with random armed carjackings and January 6th. Both crimes, but not in any other way comparable to each other. [/quote]

Do you really not realize how easy it is to simply google crime stats from republican controlled cities to show similar or worse crime rates? How craven of you to distort the facts just to promote partisan hate.[/quote]
Absolute gaslighting. Crime is far, far worse in Democrat cities.[/quote]

The murder rate in 2022 was noticeably higher in states that voted for Trump in 2020 than in states that voted for Biden in 2020, though: https://www.axios.com/2023/01/27/murder-rate-high-trump-republican-states

It's almost as if crime increasing is a national trend, and it's not specifically because of any one policy choice made in D.C. that crime is going up here, too.[/quote]

The murder rate in red states is because of the high crime rates in Democrat controlled cities within those states.
Nice try.[/quote]

In Louisiana, the rural murder rate is almost the same as the urban murder rate, and significantly higher than the nationwide metro murder rate:

Exactly.  On a per capita basis, rural red counties have every bit as much violent crime as "Dem cities" do.  If you multiplied a rural county of 10,000 to make it the size of a major city you'd have as many homicides and other violent crimes as the "Dem city" does.[/quote]
