• The rate of murders in the US has gone up at an alarming rate. But, despite a media narrative to the contrary, this is a problem that afflicts Republican-run cities and states as much or more than the Democratic bastions.
• In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.
• 8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.

It isn't just murder...it is true for most violent criminal acts. Their solution is more guns. They are too stupid to realize they are teaching their kids that their issues can be solved through violence. Wanna really have fun? Look at those cities...delete the incidents of domestic violence where those that murder are known...and look at the police solving rate. Seems to me if the police can't prevent murder...they should be able to solve them. But hey...my expectation of a police force is very different I guess.

Something Democrats have yet to figure out is that the political media takes most of their cues from what political leaders are telling them is important. If Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi were always bringing up the high crime rate in red states, these are facts that would be more widely known even if Fox News chose to ignore them in lieu of yet another piece about California going to hell.

Americans die younger in conservative states than in those governed by liberals, a new study has found.

The authors wrote: “Simulations indicate that changing all policy domains in all states to a fully liberal orientation might have saved 171,030 lives in 2019, while changing them to a fully conservative orientation might have cost 217,635 lives.”
