[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I know a good number of MoCo solid Dems who are turning red[/b]. Huge dissatisfaction with what the woke extreme leftists are doing with the schools. They'll keep their dem status but plan on voting for a sane republican over a typical dem.[/quote]
Oh please. Your Fox news agenda will not succeed in MoCo.[/quote]

You'd be foolish not to  think or know that reasonable and centrist Dems are fed up with MoCo politicians. The radical left has held onto power for a very long time here and look at where it's gotten us.[/quote]

It’s truly astounding how many times DCUM liberals will invoke “Fox!” as if normal people can’t see with their own eyes what the left has become.  “Foolish” is an understatement. [/quote]

What “left”? Gotten us where and how? What is this fearmongering? [/quote]

There's no fearmongering happening because it's not needed. People aren't stupid. They see what's happening. No job growth,  the gerrymandering of a new political map so that some groups lose representation, [b]the increase in assaults & violence at schools due to an anti-SRO/anti-police agend[/b]a, the indoctrination of students.. Do you want me to continue?  [/quote]
You see, this right here is fearmongering and propaganda.
You're your worst enemy[/quote]

NP.  How is that fear-mongering?  Assualts and violent crime HAS increased.  Both in the schools (quite dramatically) and in the general community.  [/quote]

Correct and it can be attributed in part to the current political climate which is anti-police.  It can also be attributed to the pandemic.   It's not all just one thing.   But politicians have control over their anti-police rhetoric and can tone it down.  AND stop cutting police officer positions out of the budget. [/quote]

Maybe if we make everyone a cop, we will solve our crime problem!  There's never enough police after all![/quote]

There really aren't.  But I know that doesn't fit your confirmation bias.   And marginalized communities suffer.  Sane people want police.   They just want better, safer, and more just policing.

"[i]Even more, Williams and his coauthors find that, in the average city, larger police forces result in Black lives saved at about twice the rate of white lives saved (relative to their percentage of the population). When you consider African Americans are much more likely to live in dense, poverty-stricken areas with high homicide rates — leading to more opportunities for police officers to potentially prevent victimization — that may help explain this finding[/i]."
